I am feeling complain-y tonight. But I decided if I am going to complain, I need to write something I am thankful for as well. So here is my random gripes.
1. Everytime I wash dishes I get the bottom of my shirt/top of my pants wet. BUT, I have running water!
2. My husband wants to go to bed at 9pm every night. BUT, he gets up at 4:30 in the morning to work out before work so he can come home at 4 and spend time with us.
3. When everyone else is in bed I am up cleaning up the house and getting the day put back together and ready to be messed up in the morning. BUT, if I do it now I don't have 2 small people "wallering" all over me.
4. My 3 year old will not stay in her room on the first try for bed. She comes out with "thirsty", "scared", "you need to sew my bunny he has a hole" and every other excuse under the sun (or moon at this point). BUT, she is healthy, able, and intelligent!
5. Speaking of "wallering", my friend April taught me this world. It's the act of small children needing to touch/drool/climb and in any other manner inflict their body upon yours. Jacob should be a world class waller-er. BUT he is cute and sweet and I love that angel baby!
6. I made Ryan "love bread". Really, it's just banana bread and his favorite (and I always have old bananas). I can't eat bananas, they make my throat and mouth itch. So, I spent the evening making it and doing all the dishes and I can't even eat any. He could have washed the dishes. BUT, I know it loves it so it's nice to make him happy.
I guess that's it for now. I feel better that I can think of all the good things, I know I'm blessed!

Thanks for that. Sometimes when I am down I need something like that for a pick up. I know I am truly blessed and love my family with my whole self. I just wish sometimes that God didn't throw me so much at once to deal with...but at least he knows I can handle it and won't give me too much, right?
know you're not alone... matt changed a poopy diaper so that i could cook dinner but now there is a turd stuck in the toilet since he forgot to flush! i guess that's "good morning" for me... he tries... :)
