Well, this week has been eventful. Busy and eventful, as usual. However, I am thankful to be busy and eventful, as I am thankful to even be here at all. When I think of the gift I have to be here and seeing these kids grow up, I am filled with gratitude. Some are not as lucky as me.

I am thankful that no one else in the family has come down with chickenpox. I am thankful that Kaylee does not have a bad case of them. I am thankful for the time I have gotten to spend with her this week while she has been off school and for the sweet moments her and Kara have shared, like real sisters!

I am thankful that I THINK I've finally gotten the puke smell out of the van, even though now, it smells like white vinegar (which still is better than puke that smells like poo!)

I am thankful for my health and my children's health. I am thankful that I am able bodied, and that my kids are as well.

Lastly for this Thursday, I am thankful that Jillian is asleep while I type this. It has been Cat Nap City for her for a few weeks, and she is breaking me. It would be a different story if she catnapped and then woke up in a GOOD mood, but this is not the case! I am off to use this time wisely!
