Really?

Do you ever just stop right in the middle of your life and think...is this REALLY what I thought I would be doing at this very moment? Well...YEP, I guess lately I have been thinking along these lines! I can think of MANY things to complain about...but I can also think of many things to be grateful for! So...lets just get the negative out of the way:
  • Is it really necessary for me to be a provider for my family?? Ummm...yes, it sure is!
  • Are my kids CONSTANTLY whining and ungrateful for EVERYTHING? Yes (again)
  • Why am I working EVERY day of my life?
  • Why am I ALWAYS tired?
  • Where do all the CRAZY customers that I deal with daily come from?
  • Will I ever learn the word "no"?
  • Why can't there be more than 3 hours of FUN in a week?
  • When did the baseball field become our second home?
  • Why is my house ALWAYS a mess...and the laundry ALWAYS behind?
  • Why do my kids get more than I do?
  • How do utility companies decide to raise rates and then expect everyone to be able to pay on time?
  • Why is it so hard to lose weight...and KEEP IT OFF???

Okay...I'm sure the list can be longer...but I know I am boring everyone. So...we will skip over to the positives, the things I am grateful for :) :

  • I have a HARD working husband that worries so much about his families well being.
  • My kids have the best of friends right in our little family.
  • My business has been a blessing for our family and really...was just really good timing.
  • My kids are active, they enjoy the outdoors and LOVE exploring and exercising their talents.
  • Tex is my little buddie...I know that no matter what, at least he LOVES me :)
  • I have an AMAZING employee that helps my life out more than she may even know!
  • I may not be RICH, but somehow there is always enough money to pay the bills and put food on the table.
  • I have a great family...that supports and backs me up when I really need them.

And yes...that list is longer too, but at least listing that much down did in fact make me feel better!

I am just really taking each day as a new day. I never know how it will turn out...but I try to begin it with a positive attitude.
