Day 37: 5 Gratitudes for Friday, 3

1. I love my iPod Shuffle! Steve got me one for Christmas (the children got one too) and he ensured it was already pre-loaded with a ton of family favorites. I love that I can have music with me where ever I go - doing the laundry in the basement, cleaning, cooking, walking (when I walk without the children), stretching, and etc. I love music. Music instantly lifts me up and gets me all jazzed and ready for my day. (A little secret - sometimes I will even make up my own songs and pretend I am in a musical...no seriously, I do this.) I honestly feel like this already too cold and too long winter is a little brighter because I have music where ever and when ever I want.

2. Attending a baptism with my youngest daughter. One of her friends was baptized tonight and we attended together. I really enjoy being one-on-one with  my children. I enjoy attending events that support them, support their friends and feeling the spirit is a huge added bonus.

3. Two thoroughly clean bedrooms, 3 thoroughly clean beds and 3 "as clean as they possibly can be" children. Z's room is not 100% done, but done enough that I feel I got the job accomplished. Still not sure what caused the bug bites...did I mention this already? If not....This past Sunday all 3 children woke up with a ton of bug bites - looked like something used them as a late night buffet. I have no idea what the culprit might be - very few places the children have been that Steve and I have not. However, since cleaning bedrooms, no new bug bites have been reported. I hope that means we killed what was bothering them (or at least chased it out of the rooms).

4. Steve working from home. I love having him home - even when he messes up my schedule or plans, because the benefit of having him around out weighs in minor inconveniences. I really miss having him work from home full time.

5. Walking. I love walking. I love using my muscles. I love feeling alive. I love the strength and power that is slowly being reawakened in my legs. (and I love it even more now that I have an iPod!)
