blessed with instead

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.
