I am grateful to wake up to the sun lighting the sky and birds singing.  I love spring.

Today I am very grateful for temples.  I love the peace that I feel when I attend the temple.

I am grateful for a loving husband.  Sometimes we don't agree with each other, but that never lessens my love and respect for him.

I am grateful that my children have good friends to play with in the neighborhood.

I am grateful for lazy mornings with everyone still in pj's.  This is one of the best parts of being a family. 

I am grateful for good friends.  I live in a neighborhood surrounded by really good friends.  I am literally 1-2 minutes away from some of the best people I know.  All of my friends in my neighborhood have been a support to me and have become my family in many ways.  They are amazing and I love them.

I am very grateful for good teachers.  Both of my boys have wonderful teachers.  My boys are not always easy to handle, but Mrs. King and Mrs. Dew get an A+ for effort.  They love my boys and have helped them both immensely.  Being a good teacher is an act of love.  I believe that.

I am so grateful that my kids are good sleepers.  Props to all the moms and dads that get up every night to one or more of your kids crying.  I would not be able to handle that kind of interrupted sleep.  I think Heavenly Father knew that about me and blessed me with children who sleep through the night.  Thank you Heavenly Father.

I am grateful that I don't have to be anywhere or do anything today except be with my kids.  Don't get me wrong, sometimes busy days are good to keep us from getting bored.  But we have had 5 busy days in a row and starting tomorrow will have another 5 busy days.  I need days like today to slow down and take a breather.

This morning I am grateful to live around the corner from my children's elementary school.  I love walking to pick Ben up from school, especially on crisp spring days life today.

I'm grateful for a husband who is not afraid of vomit.  Last night when Tom threw up, Sam went running and cleaned everything up before I could get there.  Sam is my favorite person ever.

Today I am grateful for my Ben.  He made me a mother.  He makes me a better mother daily.  I love him from here to forever.

This afternoon I am grateful for nice weather.  It has been a long winter this year.  Long winter = cooped up kids.  Nice weather = kids playing outside.  The kids have been playing outside and enjoying the sunshine since they got home from school.  I love nice weather.

This morning I am thankful for Unisom.  Without it I would not have slept a wink last night.
