Grateful

Lately my life has given me a lot of opportunities to grow and learn lessons since August.

•  Blaine has had several periods of unemployment.
•  Blaine is now living and working in a town 2.5 hours away from the kids and I making me essentially a single mom to 4 special needs toddlers. 
• The husband and I haven't been insured since August.
• Needing to fix up the house and sell it. 
• We have had three deaths in the family
• The kids are crazy dis-regulated and testing as many boundaries as possible

I have had a lot of chances for growth. I am not very good at growing I get very grumpy, mean and depressed. I have been a BEAR.

My grateful list.

• I have a wonderful husband, this man is amazing and hasn't left or killed me yet and that speaks wonders of him.
• Even though my kids are so dis-regulated right now they are amazing kids, they are so well behaved (even at their worst) they are so sweet and loving and holy cow are my kids cute!
• Even a travel trailer can be a home as long as you are all there
• Alone time with my husband
• Alone time all by my own self
• Having a husband to cook for
• Bath tubs
• Margaritas
• Friends that listen to me whine for 4 months straight and still love me
• Seeing the magic of Christmas through my kids eyes
• Having kids that don't need expensive stuff and are happy with anything they get
• A vehicle that is safe, warm, paid for and fits all of us in it.
• Money that appears just when you need it
• Someone that doesn't listen and helps even when you insist you don't need anything
• People who feed us, it is so nice having someone take a task off my to do list
• My parents
• God
