Today was a really frustrating teacher day and I'm thankful....

1. That Monday's don't last forever and that tomorrow is a new day. Sometimes it's good to have day's like mine was so that when days go better, you can be thankful for them.

2. For Ben, who did the dishes and most of the laundry today while he was home. I'm getting so I really like a clean house and get kinda grumpy when it's too dirty for too long (chaos!). That saying, "When mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy?" That's true for me if my house is turned upside down. I think Ben is finally catching on.

3. For Lorraine, who watches my kids while I work. She's amazing because she not only has my two, but she has many others--including my friend's newborn, just a few weeks younger than Lana. She also teaches Erich's preschool and has already done some really fun things. I am grateful she is reliable and cares for my littles.

4. For my dad. We Skyped last night and it was fun to see him so excited to see Lana. Even though I wish he lived closer, I'm thankful that he is my children's grandpa...and spoils them with shoes!

5. For technology. I love it when it works and I can use it. Lately I've been trying to read the Book of Mormon on my iPod while I feed Lana during the night. I get a few verses in each night and can mark things I want to go back to. Of course, I love technology for things like twitter, instagram, and Words with Friends, too!
