Taking a Break

I have been more than a little stressed this past week, and finally took an opportunity to step back and relax for a little while tonight.
As I was pondering, I thought about all the things I have to be grateful for:

My mom, who is always good for a pep-talk

My husband, who works so hard and is supportive and non-complaining when I called him at work twice today just to hear his voice and ask a question about Primary

My husband's job-- you know, the one he still has

The opportunity I had to be able to be the one to give Annika a hug as she walked in the door from school crying because a boy on the bus called her a big fat tiger (go figure)

The fact that my kids asked me what day care is

Storytime at the library

An awesome school teacher who keeps me informed on the things that matter

A daughter who would sneak off to go read a book to her baby sister when she should be doing her homework

Slurpees

Butterfly kisses from a three-year-old

A Father in Heaven who loves me and has a sense of humor.

All of this...just today.

Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings.
