Well, today I was not grateful for a
bloody thing.
It was one of those days when my
neck pain was level 10. It went into a migraine in the right
side of my head.
The kids were real rippers
today and caused much stress.
Everything I touched I either
spilled or broke.
A car broke and will not start, the dog
dug a big hole in the yard chasing chipmunks, my fan died, my
doc is out of town and I could not get a refill on flexeril, my
mom is fighting with the gas company and of course that means I
have to handle it.
One of our cats got out the front door somehow and was
playing with traffic with the 7 year old watching, in tears and
frantic that watermelon was going to get hit by a car. I was in
the road coaxing this cat back to me with angry motorists
yelling and blowing horns......
Top it off with a fruit fly
invasion from hades and I was just at the end of my rope lol.
Bugs landing on my face while
cooking etc.
Just when I dropped the jar of mayo
and broke it, and burned my finger on the fry pan and waved bugs
out of my face, about ready to explode.
My hubby comes up, hugs
me and says. "Should I just order out tonight? You look
like you need to go relax"
At that moment, all
become ok, cause in the world crammed with people, there is
someone who cares about me so much they notice when things are
bad for me and want to make it better. I finished dinner but
then he gave me a neck rub and we talked and relaxed out in the
woods.
My gratitude for today is
being lucky in my second marriage and for my man.
