Someone posted on facebook something they were thankful for and then said to do that every day. Make your status something that your thankful for.
So today. Today went okay. Kids complained about study time. No. Not the kids. Just Destiny, but she complained enough to equal all four doing so. I dealt with it, trying to not be irritated by it. Study time is study time and were going to do just that. Once she gets that, it will go better.
Well then came tonight. I was on the computer when she told me she had to study for her math quiz. There was something she didn't understand. Well go figure, I did not understand either. So I got online learned how, again, and then helped her! I think she gets it now. Will she remember it tomorrow for the quiz? I hope so. Either way this was an improvement, and it felt good to see. She also showed me a paper she did, that she got a B on and she seemed to be "proud". Im not going to push it though, its not even been a full week of this. Either way improvements are already showing and I feel good about that!
So what am I thankful for today. Messes. I realized yesterday how good it feels to have a clean house. I dusted and did all that, and I sat back and said this is MY house. It looks good, it feels good and its MINE :) So I want to show that I feel blessed a bit more and feel that happy "clean house" feeling more often.
Tonight after I got the kids tucked in, I picked up. Mess. Bread crumbs on the table, butter smeared on the seat. 3 cups of water (knocked over by the cat) The lolipop stick that I SEEN Promise sucking on my couch, that when I ask she will say "It wasn't me!". The mess. What would I do without it? Sure I like a clean house.
When the kids are gone, and living their own lives... Who will make messes for me to deal with? What will I complain about if not the constant mess? So I realized as I fed the cats, and picked up a dinosaur that growls and a my little pony that nearly became inbedded in the bottom of my foot... I should be thankful for this mess, while I have still got it :)
"What a beautiful, what a beautiful mess I'm in."
Sit back and think about what your thankful for. Something you take for granted, something maybe you think you do not feel so thankful for :)
