Grateful Heart Friday

Rough week? Yep... without a doubt!

More to be grateful for than to complain about?? ABSOLUTELY!!

If you follow my blog, you have seen this week has been a little rough... kids have taken turns being cranky & running fevers, tire went flat & had to be replaced, snow days... (that last one is good AND bad)!

BUT...

This week has also been great for many reasons! Grateful Heart Friday is all about the blessings of the week! And since I ended the icky stuff with "snow days," I'll begin the blessings with...you guessed it... "SNOW DAYS!" I am grateful for being able to spend the extra 2 days with Xander this week! It's always nice to have him home... the younger kids love playing with him, and I love hanging out with him! So...yay for no school!!

I am grateful for Nick and Debbie... My mother & Father in law! They came to our rescue yesterday with the "flat tire incident" AND they are watching our kiddos tonight so Tim and I can have a date night!! Love y'all! (pics are them with Asher and Bella)

I am grateful for my mom, Pam, for making an AMAZING pot of chili for us on Sunday... with leftovers to be enjoyed on Monday and Tuesday! Can't get enough chili!! Love you mommy! (pic is her with Jonathan)

I am grateful for naptime... a time when the kids get refreshed... and mommy gets showered!! This is something you ALL should be grateful for!! LOL

I am grateful for the friends I have made in this virtual blogging world! When I get down, worn out, emotionally exhausted from all life has to offer, I read a fellow blogger's post & can feel better. One "friend" posted about the power of a smile this week...in the midst of a stressful day, I read her post and couldn't help but smile! I am grateful that even though I don't know all the people I follow, we have a bond...it's pretty cool!

So....your turn...what do you have to be grateful for????
