Counting My Blessings

Today I am thankful for the numerous blessings in my life. When I'm whining about money or complaining about my kids and their craziness or bitching about WHATEVER, in the back of my head I KNOW that's it's all surface bullshit. I know that I am LUCKY. So so lucky. So here is a random list of blessings for today...

♥ My Garmin shipped!!! John OK'd a 305 off of Amazon for UNDER $100!!!!! Can't afford - don't care. I'd never seen one that cheap.

♥ Having a couple days in a row where I feel like a good Mom. Sometimes my temper gets the best of me, but lately patience has reigned supreme.

♥ Cardio via dancing like a crazy person with James for 30 minutes. I'd do anything to hear that kid laugh.

♥ Checking things off the "to do" list.

♥ Gearing up for vacation with my family. We're doing Disney, and my kids are almost as excited as I am!

♥ Finding the perfect present for my toughest to shop for.

♥ And the blessing that has made me smile non-stop for the entire day? MY SISTER IS MOVING HERE!!!!!! I haven't lived anywhere REMOTELY close to her in 20 years (she's a Master Sergeant in the USAF) and her husband (who is Army - my sister is retiring in May) got a job HERE! HERE! I can't even begin to describe to you how excited I am - I get to see my nieces!! I get to run with my sister!

I hope you are all counting your blessings today....
