Don't get me wrong - there are times when I start to feel sorry for myself but am quickly reminded of how much I have when I hear about the current situation in Haiti or Tunisia, among others, or hear an unfortunate story about a co-worker, etc, etc.
Regardless of the things I wish were different in my current situation, I am so very thankful for:
-My parents who have graciously taken us in for our second stint - it's almost been 3 months now!
-My newish car that makes the long trek to and from work.
-The construction on our house and the amount of money R has spent to make our home practically brand new. I can't wait to throw parties :)
-My job that comes with awesome co-workers, a class full of eager first graders, and a paycheck.
-A sweet baby boy that brings me more happiness than I could have imagined.
-All of the luxuries we are able to afford thanks to R's job - eating out, daycare, etc. This is the first time in my life I haven't had to worry about the number in my account each month and that is a HUGE blessing.
If nothing else, all I have to do is look at this and feel immediate humility.
