Lately I feel like I am going crazy! I hear "MOM" more often than not, and I feel like I am on my feet almost 24/7. I wake up at 5 am to work out and fall into bed every night. I feel like tears somedays come more often than smiles...but lets face it we ALL know that tears aren't hard to come by for me :-)... I also feel like I spend half of my life in a car, running errands, and never get to see the love of my life...
But then I stopped and starting thinking...WHY am I being so whinny and not focusing on the things I DO have like this....
And them...
These guys too...
Pretty much everyone in this pictures is special to me! I am thankful for all they do and am so happy to be able to call them family (that includes the two that are on missions and not in the photo)
I really am thankful for this time of year. I love Thanksgiving and Christmas, even the New Year brings the feeling of renewal and a clean slate. I love black friday, for the tradition and fun not always just the sales, I love all the good comfort food . I love the memories of family and friends gathered around many tables.
So even though life may be a little hectic and overwhelming it is still pretty great. This is the life I chose and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

It's hard sometimes to look past the rough spots... and I always feel like I'm in one!!! But you're right, we should look at what we have and not what we don't!
Thanks for reminding me to smile! I think I've mastered giving anistyn the stink eye and she could use some lovin' instead!
