Counting My Blessings Instead of Sheep

OK, lest anyone think I don't appreciate the good parts of my life, I'll end my day with a list of things I'm grateful for:

• A husband who does dishes and changes diapers and calls me a babe no matter what I look like
• A (mostly solid) roof over my head and a heater that works
• A car that runs and that my whole passel of youngsters fits into without too much squeezing, even with the two car seats
• The passel of youngsters
• A steady income that's enough to pay our bills if we hold our collective breath and pray
• Family members who are willing to travel a thousand miles just to help us through our little life crises
• Hope for a better future
• Chocolate chip cookies
• A warm, fluffy bed to crawl into

And that, dear friends, is where I'm off to now-- along with item #1, who still thinks I'm hot. Sweet dreams...
