Gratitude

In the Ensign this month there is an article about gratitude. In the article it encourages us to keep a gratitude journal or even just to sit down and take note of things that you have noticed. So today I am going to at least start doing this along with my regular writings that don't seem to be so regular but I will at least attempt. Life is busy around here and I try to make it less busy.

I am staying home from work today and tomorrow because I can't seem to stay away from the bathroom and then when I am in the bathroom I am in there for a good amount of time and in a lot of pain. This morning I took my medications and one of the antibiotics really upset my stomach and I actually ended up throwing them up. I really hate throwing up.

Today has been a little worse than yesterday in the sense that I have been in the bathroom more and I am sure it is because I had more food yesterday than I had the day before so it is probably the food moving through my system.

Enough about my issues, on to my gratitude part. I am thankful for my kids. Kayden was so worried about me and wanted to make sure that I was not going to stay at the hospital forever. I think he wanted to stay up until I got home to make sure that things were ok but he ended up falling asleep. I am thankful for Koy, he tries to help as much as possible. When I ask someone to bring me water or a blanket he throws a fit if he can't bring it to me. Lexi of course is a little mommy and she tries so hard to help me. She is a big help with the boys. She is currently having a fund raiser at her school she is trying to sell as much as she can.

I am thankful for Josh. He helped a lot yesterday and has helped with the kids a lot. He stayed at the hospital with me and was a big help yesterday. He took the boys to the babysitter today since they love to be too roudy and after throwing up this morning I needed the time to rest.

I am thankful for medicine. I am glad that I can take something to take away my pain. I am glad that there was a test that was able to find what is wrong. I am thankful for antibiotics to help me get better.
