Blessings.

Sometimes you don't notice all the good things until they are gone.

I've been sick with strep the past three days, and it's been very miserable. Today, I am finally feeling lots better and actually have ENERGY! Here are some blessings I'm counting today:

1. I was able to sort of kind of clean the shower this morning while Preston slept!
2. The fact that I even took a shower before noon!
3. My throat doesn't hurt too bad when I swallow! My frosted flakes were much easier to eat this morning.
4. Preston woke up talking to himself instead of crying.
5. I had exactly 2 hours to myself this morning before he woke up (I got up early, he slept in).
6. My husband took the time to ask me how I was feeling before he left for work this morning...and he was running late. He loves me.
7. My house is a mess, but getting there! My energy is coming back, and laundry will face my wrath today!

Oh there are so many other big and little things; these are just the silly ones on my mind right now. I can't express it in words, but I'm so grateful for the sunshine and the sprinklers and the smell of my house (except, not in the kitchen, don't go in there until I can clean it), and my cute little kid who is asking to be let out of jail (crib). Gotta go have a wonderful day! FINALLY!
