So I Have Been Told... I'm A Slacker!

I have recently been told I'm slacking on the updates. So here I am today to update you on my crazy life...

Let's see, my house, well my house is a house that I could potentially love one day when it is completely finished being remodeled, but for the time being I am completely miserable living in my house. I dream of a new one all the time -- how sad is that, at least I have a roof over my head, even if it leaks...

My job, that is going well, staying extremely busy, although no overtime is allowed, I miss that! But at least I have a job and a paycheck coming in...

My other half, he stays busy staying on the road 4-5 days of the week, he complains, he is over worked and under paid, but at least he has a job and a paycheck coming in...

My oldest, McKinlee, he loves school, he is reading like crazy now. That in itself is a wonderful thing. He joined soccer and wants to join T-ball in June. He's getting so big so fast and every day he reminds me more and more of his father, with his laziness and selective hearing, but at least he is healthy and happy...

My youngest, Maddock, he has become a real motor mouth. He will repeat anything and everything so WATCH what you say around him. For life of me I can not figure out what is going on with him lately, what I mean is when I go to drop him off at daycare he freaks and for the past week he will NOT stay a sleep in his crib. I'm gonna have to do some tough love with the sleep issue, as for the daycare issue, I eventually get out of there and they say he is fine seconds after I'm gone, but at least he is healthy and happy...

What's with all the "at least" you may be asking well, I've been reading YES can you imagine me READ, I know its gonna snow in Hawaii. Seriously, I've been flowing this blog
www.mycharmingkids.com and this family is going through absolute torture right now. Their youngest child just turned 5 months old and has been hospitalized for the past two weeks with a fatal heart condition called SVT. As I read the blog and listen to the mother's words regarding her baby boy Stellan, I think to myself, I can't believe I yelled at McKinlee this morning for that or I worry to much about the small stuff. Here is this women who has 4 children but is sitting in a hospital watching her baby fight for his life, and she is helpless to him, who am I to complain about the weather, money, my house, my kids not listening - all I can say is, "AT LEAST"

At Least:
I have my health
I have two healthy happy boys
I have a roof over our heads
I have a job
I have a car that gets me to my job
I have a boss that is understanding of unexpected family problems
I have a happy healthy family
I have happy healthy friends
most of all I have the will to pray when I need to and I pray for those that need
Do you have an "at least?" Share with me...
