Yesterday could have been plain awful but here's what I was blessed with:
my daughter waking me up asking, "what are you doing?" she never sees me still in bed
praising God, as I did laundry, cause I realized that the saying, "pitter patter of little feet" doesn't apply at my house since I could hear them stomping around over head while they played cars
taking my daughter to school. I love her school and her teachers.
running errands with my son as I sang along with the terrible love ballads playing in the store
I got to run fast (well fast for me) while my son, and I, both learned to appreciate the number 7 and the letter S
taking my husband out for an early birthday lunch and seeing his excitement at his birthday present
nap time
a ecard from a sweet friend
lifting my kids from the bed to the car in their cutie pie sleepiness
watching my son pick out caws (cars), ucks (trucks), ikes (motorcycles), and wevs (S.U.Vs) from a magazine while we waited at a doctor's office
picnicking with winter hats and gloves on
watching my son run around the play ground with his hat half covering his eyes but smiling anyway
watching my daughter run around with a little red nose (cause she was so cold) but smiling anyway
watching my husband with our kids and the others as he "taught" them how to Frisbee
steak, super yummy brownies, friends and coffee all at the same place
hearing my husband, talk, pray or read to my son as he was putting him to bed
the simplicity of hearing my daughter tell me that her shower was like rain
singing happy birthday to my great aunt
having my daughter tuck me in
listening to my daughter sing Frosty the Snowman as my husband's bedtime song
having my daughter climb into bed with us and snuggle
having my daughter climb into her own bed cause she's a squirmer
a good night's rest
realizing that things, yesterday, could have been totally different, but saying a big, "Ehh..." and remembering God is great and rejoicing in the things that He decided to bless me with, instead.
