Thankful Thursday

(It's technically Thursday on the east coast) ;)

This week started out great,but during the last few days I've hit rock bottom. I try to be optimistic about our situation,but some days everything hits me at once and it's hard. I've had multiple phone calls about overdue bills which always puts a knot in my stomach. A bunch of little things went wrong this morning which put me in a bad mood. When I'm really stressed and ornery,I clean. So the good news is that the house is cleaned up,my bedroom is clean,all six baskets of laundry are folded,the kid's clothes are put away and I have a bag of clothes to give away. Now to brighten my spirits,I'm going to post some things I am thankful for...

Health - All of my family is healthy. None of my kids have been sick,and neither has me or Adam. We had some issues with Medicaid and after many trips to the office building,my kids have their medicaid cards. It's a big relief.

Family - We have wonderful family members who have helped us out in so many ways. There is a lot of support and love and it's nice to know that we aren't alone.

The Gospel - I'm grateful to be a member of the L.D.S church. There are a lot of terrific people in our ward and we have an awesome bishop. The relief society president calls often to check up on me,and to ask if I need anything. It's a great feeling to know that the church is there to help.


Movies and T.V. shows - It's nice to lose yourself in a story that takes your mind off of your troubles for a short time at least. These are some of my favorites that are guaranteed to put me in a better mood.






Exercising and weight loss - While it's been harder to use my gym membership now,I'm glad I have it. I was going regularly for the last month and feeling a lot better about myself. I've lost 25 lbs total and it's been so awesome. Now I just need to keep it up and go to the gym whenever I can.

Good friends and bloggy buds - I have so many great friends!! I chat with them during the day,we joke around on Facebook and have a good time. Because of Facebook,I've reconnected with some old friends from high school. We've had a few get-togethers and it's like we never stopped being friends. We have had a lot of fun. All of you guys are awesome!!



For all of my family and friends out there..
