Memorial stones

It's Memorial Day- the one day we honor and recognize the men and women who have fought for our freedom.
This week end at church I was reminded of what I normally do when I get into a fun or a depressed state. I tend to remind myself of what and how God has done great things and I make a list of awesome things in my life that I am grateful things.
I believe it is the little things in life that we can truly enjoyable. Case in point is at the end of the week I decided to get the car washed after I picked Jonathan up from school on Friday. we went and after getting gas in the vehicle which is a Expedition( I still call it a car). I went through an automatic car wash with 2 kids in tow both were sucking their thumbs.
This used to be when Jonathan would scream because simply this was something that would be total sensory overload. Now it is a little more enjoyable because he says "ooh".
I am thankful for the opportunity I have had to be a part of the lives of my kids. I LOVE to see them grow and do new things. I love having the opportunity to be "home" with them, even when "home" was a waiting room or a doctor's office somewhere. I can't wait until it gets sunny and we can get out to the park..
I am thankful that;we yet again avoided having to go to the pediatrician for anything, although there's signs we are headed back there.
I am thankful that my husband has given me this opportunity even though he has had to take a second job delivering pizzas, and totally tighten up our budget to what seems at times un-workable.
Lately he has been working 50-60 hours at his full time job and he is beyond tired.He has been so tired at times that he is nearly useless to anyone else but work. This seems unfair to me because he is getting paid the same wage as others in the building but is expected to do a whole lot more like a manager. Others take a whole lot less abuse and I hope this particular manager quits it or pays him significantly more.
I have been extra tired because I have no one to give me an assist that I need at times. I miss my husband and hope the zombie goes away that replaced him.
Scary things are starting to happen like today we were eating lunch when suddenly Andrew blacked out while he was drinking tea and dropped his glass. No Andrew hasn't been drinking.He is extremely exhausted.
So that is what is going on with me.
Blessings
