I'm thankful because I am....

So I have been losing it lately. Random outbursts at these kids. Mine.

Poor kids.

Feeling like nothing is getting done. Must be winter blues? Must be. Well get out of the house you say? I do. Is it enough. Seems not.

So I write to remind myself of everything I am thankful for this week. Many things that get side swept in the whirlwind of stay at home mother-dom.

Thankful list for the week of Feb 1st.

-I got to see some long lost friends this week!

(Ya for Nancy, Becca, and Kari! Two hours of undisturbed kid free time at Panera is priceless. Goes so fast. But I smile because it happened! )

- Getting a few (very few here people) decorations done around the house.

- Making Valentines with Sadie

-Having great, Great, GREAT family time last night as Brett Kung Fu wrestled with the kids and they just ate it up!

- Getting out with the kids and their friends to a new place to play indoors.

- Having a little girl asleep in my bed... that I get to carry in my arms... and place back in her own bed. Hearing her say in her sleep "thank you Mommy" while I tuck her back in. Memories I will never forget.

- Hanging out with my family (you know, Mom, sibs...)

I have to many things on my to-do list. Drives me nuts not getting it done. Being a mom really sucks up your time. I need a bigger thankful list and smaller to do list.

So thank you thankful post. I am thankful.
