Struggling today. Well...almost yesterday, as I blog at 11:59 pm on Thursday night. It was a long, hard day. Money issues, kid issues, my foot killing me, etc., etc. I guess I could blog about that. I could blog a "poor me" post. I could blog about my anxiety over all this, but what's the point? I don't think I'll feel better and things won't get better instantly (but wouldn't that be awesome if they would?). I think instead I'll blog a positive post. :) How about the things I love about my family...
COLIN
If you know Colin at all you know that he is the most patient, easy going guy in the world. He's my rock in my crazy, anxiety-ridden world. He does so much around the house and with our kids, always giving me time to myself. He's positive in so many things that he does, especially in his job and with parenting. I love how he gives the kids a bath each night (I've probably given them 30 baths in 4 years), how they have their routine with the bubbles and lotion, how the kids laugh the whole time during the routine. I love how he teaches the kids funny things and how they love joking and teasing with him. I love how supportive he is.
ABIGAIL
Oh, Abigail. She sure is something. Abigail loves life. In a serious way. She finds amazing goodness in everything. She's full of drama and passion (which is often good, sometimes bad). I love when she crawls in bed with me in the morning and snuggles with me. I love when she tells me "Jesus' heart is happy." I love when she prays. I love when she signs. I love when she hugs Henry. I love when she uses her imagination, playing with her princesses, getting embarrassed when we ask her what she's doing. I love her spunk.
HENRY
This is the hardest to write today...he's been a piece of work! :) I love when I go in his room every night before I go to bed and wake him up just a little bit, just enough for him to give me a kiss and say "night-night." I love when he talks...I will never tire of that! I love how he's just starting to sing along with songs, in his sweet, high voice. I love how when I sing "Jesus Loves Me" to him every night, when we get to "Yes, Jesus loves..." he sings "mama" or "daddy" or "Abby" instead of me. I love how he laughs when I say "I'm going to tickle your bones off!" I love watching him sleep. I love holding him when he's fresh from the bath - the only time he's real snuggly!
And that, my friends, is just some of what I love about my family.

In other news...
I haven't scrapped in a long time. I've been so tired and going to be so early because of the early mornings lately. I just don't have the motivation. Hopefully I can get something going soon! I'd love to get some new stuff done!
Here's a funny auction for you to check out...a guy from Byron Center...they talked about him on ESPN today. U of M Football Allegiance
Tomorrow is our quiet day! No school, speech, playgroups or anything else. I really like that...we need that at the end of the week! I think we'll head to Target for a couple of things, but other than that probably take it easy at home. I really should clean my house...anyone taking bets on that happening?? :)
Night all (this is the latest I've stayed up in awhile now!)

Nothing like Target on a day off. :) I liked your positive post. I'll try to remember to think likewise when I'm being challenged tomorrow. Oh, and I have 3 pink lids for you (so far.)
Thats really cool. THIngs sound like there going okay. I admire how you write about positive things, other than negative things, and yes. I agree with the people in your family, the things you said about them. Except you forgot Gracie? oh well. poor Gracie And Bethany? Where do you fit yourself in there. You need to write that you are an amzing mother, you were an amazing person to have in my life, and you have always kept me 'grounded'. =]
You rock.
PEACE
