on having a better attitude.

i was reading back a little on my blog and i realized i don't sound very grateful for my life and the many wonderful blessings that i have. so here, on this tuesday morning i will change(just a little bit.)

i am thankful to still be pregnant today.

i had some full blown, painful, somebody slap me,

contractions yesterday and after a long, warm shower they stopped.

it made me realize, as anxious as i am, i am not ready for this baby to come.

i am not ready for my last pregnancy ever to be over, i want him here when he's ready, not when i'm ready. i want him healthy and chubby and ready to thrive in this house of chaos. i still want to still feel him doing in-utero gynastics, and be able to have josh and the kids feel it and chuckle at the thought of what he must be doing.

i am thankful that i have a hospital to deliver this baby and insurance to pay for it.

they still do the mug, and thats all i really care about.

the baby doesn't care that on his "all about me" poster his place of birth will say bountiful instead of salt lake....right?

now i am grateful that school has started and all that it entails, but i do miss my kiddos,

not complaining, just stating.

i love waking them up in the morning and making them a yummy breakfast and then helping each one with their outfit, hair, and finishing touches. and on that note,

when do i quit combing ethans hair? i mean he is 12, but he likes me to do it and why not? and i have to say his gel to hair ratio when he does comb it is not so pretty.

i love knowing that they go out the door knowing they are loved and cared for. at least i hope they do. if not, this 6:30(ish) wake up time is not really work'n for me. again, not complaining just say'n.

i am thankful that my husband has a job he loves.

even though i complain about the travel, i get him home with me. a lot.

well i think that covers it, and i won't go as far as bearing my testimony, but those of you who truly know me, know what i believe.

well i'm off to make beds, start laundry(i took yesterday off),

and putter around the house.

and i wouldn't change it for the world.
