My blessings

I realize that there are many times others look into my life and see the blessings I take for granted daily. I do the same. Why is it always to easy to see the blessings in others lives and so difficult to see in your own?! I guess that falls under the "grass is always greener" category.

Well, today I am thankful for the blessing of being a WAHM. It is rough stuff 9 out of 10 days (yes, I am aware that there are only 5 workdays in a week but whatever.). A friend recently went back to work after being a WAHM Mom for the past 14 years, and her first week back has been less than ideal. My heart hurts for her as she re~adjusts to the demands of being a full-time working mom and rejoices with her as she regains her independence and identity outside of her children. Another wonderful example of the complexity we know as life. Being home with my sick kids is not often perceived as a blessing~but today I realize that for me, personally...it totally is!

What others may see as a burden, I consider a blessing. This time I am able to be home, although it may be filled with dirty diapers, laundry and dishes...is precious to me and will be gone far to soon. So I am determined to face the monotony with a thankful heart.

Last night we did pumpkins~but our method of decorating is a process and so they are not blog ready yet, but will be soon.

 I'm off to do what I am talking about...smile as I switch the wash, giggle as I unload the dishwasher, dance as I sweep the crumbs from breakfast and inhale the yummy smells as I make an apple pumpkin spice cake while the bitty's nap.

I am aware that more often than not, my blog is pointless nonsense...but to the ones that matter, it is perfect. That is ALL that matters. :-)
