So here I am...

I just got home from working all night. And doing it without hardly a break, and being pregnant. I came home to Bryant leaving for work, and my little son asleep on the couch who has been awake all night puking. This means no babysitter for Tripp, and also no sleep for Mommy. Though this should upset me, I am actually sitting here thinking about all the blessings in my life. Wow, it's amazing the things I take for granted that I am now realizing are so amazing. For one, though I work long and hard, I HAVE a job, and it pays well and has good insurance benefits. Second, why complain about being pregnant?? I have a tiny little boy who is about to join my family, so tired or not how could I not be ecstatic that I have another son? Third, yes Bryant left for work again, and yes the hours are long, but his job makes him SO happy and it opens the door to so many opportunities. And fourth, Tripp is sick, but at least I am at home with him just where I should be. No one but his mommy should be with him right now, and I feel so blessed Heavenly Father looks out for our family and always gives us what we need. For example, he gives me one of the most important things of all, and that is time with my son. Could I be any more blessed? Over the past couple of months I have been thinking that things are almost too good, like it won't last. But then I remember that Heavenly Father loves our family and wants to bless us! This has been a good morning to reflect on that-it has given me the chance to look at my so-called "trials" and see them as the blessings they actually are.
