It's easy to dwell on annoyances and tiny imperfections in our day to day lives. Dwelling only magnifies them but if you think about them in the grand scheme of things, they're nothing.
Inevitably I'll forget some things due to Momma brain and lack of sleep, but here are a few things I'm thankful for right now:
• We don't have to worry about a leaky roof. The rain came down hard for a while today and I was just so thankful we had a good roof over our heads.
• The transition from one baby to Irish Twins has been so much better than I imagined. I didn't know what we were getting into and have nothing to compare it to, but I think we're doing pretty dang good!
• Lincoln is young enough that we didn't have to deal with jealousy when we brought Liliana home. He loved giving her kissies from the very beginning. When she's not in the room he gets very concerned and says "Where's Sis?"
• My children's mutual love for each other. In the mornings when I get him out of bed I'll say "Let's go get Sis" and he gets so excited. As soon as we walk in her room he points and yells "Sis!" and she screeches in excitement.
• The kids have been able to stay home instead of ever going to a day care. (Not going anti-day care, just what works for us.)
• Lincoln sleeps through the night (averaging 12 hours).
• My job offers great insurance.
• My job and coworkers are flexible, allowing me to NEVER miss a kids' doctor appointment.
• Happy children.
• Turbo.
• My husband.
• Two reliable vehicles.
• A garage.
• Netflix - I barely even miss cable. Netflix is 1/10 of the price and really has a lot to offer!!
• Speaking of price, Stuff, Etc. Amazing. I buy 90% of the kids' clothes there and rarely pay more than $1.50/item. You can't even tell they're from a consignment shop - probably because at their age, children don't stay in one size long at all!!
Ok, there's so much more, but I'll stop here. I just felt compelled to spread some positivity.
