Thankful Thursday

Well, my house is a mess and I'm feeling overwhelmed and anxious today. And by "mess" I mean that I can't seem to keep up with the cleaning I've done already and when I see even more areas that need cleaning, I get a deep sense of hopelessness. I know I have lots of kids in the house and the mess can be cleaned later, but still, I'm overwhelmed.
However, I still have much to be thankful for this week, and my hope is that by writing them out, I will be refreshed enough to continue my day in a productive way!

This week I am thankful for:

1. A day of shopping for a wedding dress with my sister, and that she found one!

2. A kid free day and night with my husband. We used the wedding dress shopping as an excuse to get away for the night. The movie, dinner and jacuzzi were amazing!

3. My van. It died this week and I am currently vehicle less, BUT the van came into our life at the perfect time...only a week before I had Danica, we got it for a great price, and we got a problem free 2 years out of it!

4. That we've been saving for a new van. Hopefully we find something soon :)

5.the possibility of seeing friends over spring break that I haven't seen in awhile!

6. Washable markers.

7. My friend Candice who comes and hangs out some days and keeps me company...and saves my sanity :)

8. Addison. This week she had the option to join the school science fair even though she is too young to receive school credit or qualify for regionals. Still, she completed a project 90% by herself and presented it at the fair today! I am so proud :)

9. Good dreams :)

10. That today, at day 17 of doing Jillian michael's workouts, I'm noticing a physical change in my body...I have triceps!

Have a great week friends!
