A new outlook.

I know I have been so mopey lately and I don't like it. I finally got my reality check today. When I was dropping Eve off I overheard one of her teachers talk about how she is really struggling raising her 2 teenage sons because she is a widow and they really need a male in their lives so she has been trying to get men from her church to kind of step up to help her show her sons how men should live a moral life. After I drop Eve off everyday I drive the rest of the way to work and pray/think to myself. As I was driving I saw a woman at a bus stop who had her whole side of her face bruised. I realized I need to get over all the crap and realize what I have to be thankful for.

I have 2 beautiful children.

Milo's smile lights up the whole room. Every time I look at him he smiles at me...even when he is whining.

Eve is so funny. Her curiosity kills me. I love how she says words wrong. Like shade-o instead of shadow. She is so sweet and I love that she is so loving to her family.

Adam is amazing. He is the most giving man in the world. He takes such good care of the kids and me. I can't put into words how much I love him. I like that we are always on the same page. Sometimes I think we are the same person. Like tonight when we were talking about dinner we both had a new idea of how to prepare the roll for our meatball subs. It was the exact same idea of making the roll into garlic bread first before adding the meatballs.

I am thankful for my parents because they always make time for us.

I am thankful for my students because they always know how to make me smile/laugh even if we had a rough day.

I am thankful that my coworkers take the time to tell me good things they hear about me in class because it makes my day.
