This Thanksgiving

As I sit and think back on this year, I have so incredibly much to be thankful for. I get overwhelmed thinking about how much God loves me (and Matt) to entrust us to raise these precious 2 boys of his. For this, I am most thankful.

I am also thankful for many other things like the most amazing friends, old and new. I am thankful for for my husband, who will unload the dishwasher with out being asked. I am thankful to own the house next door to my parents, who are such loving parents and grandparents. I am thankful for healthy boys, chocolate cake and red wine. I am thankful for an almost paid off car, clear water and new roof. I am thankful for my cozy, clean bed that is big enough to hold our family of four sometimes plus the dog...and so much more...

Today is going to be a day of getting stuff done...because it MUST!

I'm overwhelmed. After everyone in this house battling the stomach virus over the past week, every inch of this house is a wreck. I have anxiety in every room it seems. I don't even know where to start. I have 10 aprons to sew, which I am so thankful for, but still have to find the time to complete. Jett is teething. He also is still trying to get this stomach bug out of his system. I will jump off the couch in excitment at the sight of his first solid poop in almost a week. He does have the cutest two little bottom teeth ever though! Needless to say, he has not let me put him down nor has he slept very well in days. Drew knows everything so this has led to us butting heads constantly, because well, he doesn't...I do. Not really, but I want him to think that anyway.

So, while my baby cries, my dishes wait patiently in the sink, my bed sits unmade and I am dirty, I pray. God, thank you for this day, this wonderful day.
