I had been posting my blessings ... at night, in bed, from my Ipod. Problem was- they were not posting- but saving somewhere. I had done this for a few weeks. When I realized what had happened I just mentally acknowledged what I was thankful for each night.
Now that we are settling back into our school routine, I think I can start it back up- Here we go.

September 2

I saw a Grandpa yesterday. I was picking up my car after having some repairs. I overheard several phone calls made by this Grandpa. We were in a small waiting room. I could not help but overhear! The first was to his wife. He talked politely and endearing to her. Then he made a call to his daughter. First he spoke to his Grandchild, then to his daughter. He talked so cute to his Grandchild, and then so nice to his daughter. He needed a ride, and asked if he could take her to lunch.

I loved hearing this man. I was thankful that I married the kind of guy who will grow into this kind of Father and Grandfather.

Monday- I am thankful for family night. I am thankful for a night at the book store. I am thankful for understanding of others.

Sunday- I am thankful for a nap. I am thankful for four kids playing together while I had that nap.

Saturday- I am thankful that I can leave for the day and come home to things better than how I left them, with kids bathed and fed. I am thankful to have a break and to be ready to come back home.

Friday- I am thankful for the work my kids did today. I am thankful for their willingness today to do what I asked without expecting something in return.

Thursday- I am thankful for a late evening walk with Jay. I am thankful for quick runs to the store to pick up milk.

Wednesday- I am thankful that I was able to get something finished on time. I am thankful that a friend called to invite tucker and I over just to see the big work trucks at her house.

Tuesday- I am thankful that the "fix" for the air conditioner was a flip of a switch.

Monday- I am thankful we all worked together on cleaning up the backyard. I am thankful for yummy leftovers.

Sunday- I am thankful that it is Easter & conference weekend at the same time. I am thankful for my changing perspective of the blessings of Christ's Atonement.

Saturday- I am thankful that the boys and I were able to get all the shopping and food prepared early. I am thankful that in losing my blender beater, I was able to clean out and reorganize all the bottom cupboards looking for it. ( found it in the garage!)
I am thankful that our family makes it a priority to watch conference.

Friday- I am thankful for the kids having a day of off school and for three day weekends! I am thankful to have cousins close by to come and play.
I am thankful that our flat tire caused by not only a nail but also a screw was able to be repaired and that Jay was able to come home early to help me with it.

Thursday- I am so thankful my mom helped out so much with the kids today! I am thankful for my kids teachers. So thankful for the love and insight they have. I am thankful for each of the kids talents.

Thursday

I am thankful that I had a nice nap.
I am thankful for free entertainment. The water line workers building a great mud/dirt pile for Tucker to drive trucks through. For free admission to the crystal bridge. For listening to Tucker describe his day. For how excited he was to tell everyone about the big hole.
I am thankful that Jay did our taxes this week.
I am thankful that Jay cleaned out the garage- I am even more thankful that these were all things he just did. They were not on any honey do list. I am thankful that his schedule allows him to be home more.
I am thankful for my kids teachers.

Wednesday

I am thankful that my mom watched the littles while Jay and I went to a program with Savanna at church. I am thankful for our Young Women leaders that put so much love into the youth program at church.
I am thankful that Jack was where he needed to be. That he made good choices. I am thankful for his scout leader and for her patience.
I am thankful that I had a brief moment that I felt semi- caught up. It lasted for a moment. It felt good.

Tuesday

I am thankful for the perspective a vacation gives. I am thankful tonight did not seem so rushed and busy. I am thankful for a warm afternoon that let the kids play outside. I am thankful for the city water crews who have dumped loads of red dirt on our front lawn- instant fun for the boys!
