Happy hump day!  Here’s what I’m grateful for today:

1. I’m grateful that both of my boys, for the time being, are finally sleeping well and mostly through the night.  I can finally get a semi-decent amount of sleep as well as feel less anxious about waking them up after they’ve gone to bed for the evening.
2. I’m thankful that my father-in-law was able to help us troubleshoot our broken shower so we didn’t have to pay a plumber.
3. I’m grateful that we have a spare shower to use while we wait for the new part for our broken shower to arrive.
4. I’m thankful for my flexible work schedule and an understanding and supportive employer.  Now that I’ve gotten into a groove going back to work, I feel like my part-time schedule is the perfect balance for a working mom, allowing me to spend the majority of my time with my family but also allowing me to make enough money to help pay our bills.
5. I’m thankful for Skype, cell phones, and technology which allow me to keep up with my family who live far away, most recently my mom and my cousin Megan.

Happy day friends!
