Things have been a bit crazy lately, so I decided to look at cause and effect. Sometimes even when problems arise, they work themselves out for the best.
Several ant invasions throughout the house = Getting to see an old friend that I had not seen in some time twice in one month. It was a real blessing getting to catch up on life, hearing about kids, and talking about getting the families together for some fun. The amazing things about old friends like this one, even though we had not spoken for quite sometime it seemed like just yesterday and the conversion flowed just like old times.
Bone marrow transplant = Being thankful that there is still something
that can temporarily stop multiple myeloma. And being very proud of my
brave and courageous dad.
Washer breaking down in the middle of the rinse cycle = Being reminded how amazing my maternal grandma really is. She watched the kids while I hand wrung the clothes and baled the water out of the washer. Then we took the laundry for a spin in grandma's washer and got a few more loads polished off. While I was busy with the wash, grandma and the kids cooked up cookies. Yummy!
Stress = Lots of wonderful yummy chocolate cherry cokes!
A family member throwing a tantrum with inappropriate mean spirited comments = Being reminded how supportive my husband, sister, a maternal grandma are. And being thankful for having such wonderful amazing young children that need and love their mommy every day.
Medical bills = Being thankful that tubes can help my child hear. But apprehensive of the diagnosis coming on Tuesday for the eyes of the youngest.
Dog + Door = Bruised temple and killer headache, but a great big hug from my baby sister.
Lack of sleep = Impromptu falling sleeping on the couch during the day and sleeping through the whole night.
