Next 5

1. I am thankful for the gospel. There truly is a difference when you are not able to go to church every Sunday. I miss that I have not been able to attend church but it is not by choice. Since I have been scheduled to work on Sundays I have not been able to attend, but I do have a Sunday off in a couple of weeks and look forward to going.

2. My house. Even though we are living in an apartment it is still considered our house and I am thankful that we have a place to live and be warm. I am glad to have our own space and to be on our own.

3. My car. I am glad that I have something that provides us the means to get to the places that we need to get. I am also glad that it isn't costing me an arm and a leg to fill it up.

4. Sleep. I am grateful for the chance that I get to sleep. I don't get very much of it lately, only about 3-4 hours a night to be exact and that is on a good night. I take every chance I get to take a quick nap so that I can be the mom that I need to be.

5. Clothes. I am glad that I have clothes to wear and that my kids have clothes to wear. Sometimes I complain because I don't have a lot of clothes, but how much do you really need? There are people out there who have maybe 1 change of clothes and I have many choices everyday. I may not be able to go shopping at the mall for our clothes, which I wouldn't want to even if I could since clothes are so over priced there and my kids get them dirty and grow out of clothes way too fast. Lexi has grown so much that many of her shirts that she got to start school with are too tight on her so we are thankful for those who have donated clothes to us so that she has some to wear. Since Kayden has a nice working kidney he is growing like a weed and most of his clothes are too short on him also so we are thankful for the ones that we have that do fit him and look forward to finding ones that will fit him. Koy is all taken care of since Kayden has outgrown most of his they are now Koy's so he is all taken care of and we are thankful that we have two boys that are close enough in age and size that they can wear the same clothes which makes them last longer.
