Middle of the night thoughts.

Sometimes reading friends status's on facebook makes me realize how wonderful my life truly is. Today was one of those days and I just feel the need to say it. I have a fabulous husband who would do anything for me and our kids. I love him so much. I have two beautiful, healthy, intelligent daughters who are absoutely perfect. (At least in my eyes) Okay well maybe not perfect, they have flaws, but that is what makes perfection. :) I have a supportive wonderful family behind me. Even though they are too far away to see on a daily, or even weekly, basis they have a thriving relationship with me and my children. Alexys will take the phone and 'play' with my mom for hours. She has such a big imagination. And my mom is so patient with her. I would be so annoyed with some of the things my mom willingly and happily puts up with. I have a home that is all mine. I have heat and a soft bed and food in my tummy and pantry. I have all of these things and I forget to be grateful for them. So at times like this when I remember I want to write it down so that I can look back and say 'hey! Life is good. Be happy.'

Though I will say in passing I wish my husband could have the kind of parents I have. I wish every day he could feel the unconditional love I feel from my family. I hurt for him that his family dynamic is so shaky. I just wish they could realize what a great, ambitious person they raised and be proud of the man he has become. I know I am.
