Thankful Thursday

Phew!  This week has been so busy I have felt like a soccer mom with out any kids in soccer.  I have driven children all over this planet (and back) three times a day.  I guess I can be thankful today that I have a good car that works so I can do all that driving.  Oh, and also a 22 month old who can occasionally skip having a nap at all during the day without turning into a miniature monster.

Last weekend, we visited family in Indiana.  It was a short weekend (where most of it was spent in the car driving too and from) but it was really fun.  When I get together with my family I am filled with such a sense of satisfaction and contentment with life.  My kids are well taken care of - playing happily with their cousins-  my siblings and I are enjoying each other's company and we are free (at least for a few days' duration) of our usual everyday obligations of work, school etc.  I am thankful for the wonderful micro vacation we enjoyed last weekend with loved ones.
