Well, the spirit or maybe its working 7 grave yard shifts in a row, but I felt the need to thank all the people in my life that help keep my world turning.
It's amazing how a little thing, like McDonald's french fries for no reason (thanks Carrie) or a gift of makeup samples after your entire makeup bag was stolen (thanks Tabby) can bring the much need smile to cool off your lack of patience.
Sometimes a break from all the kids and their childish drama, if even for an hour can make the biggest difference. Letting my girls come and play so that I can rest, clean or even just take a shower, can give me the boost I need to make it through the rest of the day. (thanks Arlene)
Words of encouragement, wheather through emails, blogging, texting, or late night phone calls can help weather any storm that may have brewed during the day. (thanks Naoni and Brenda)
A date night with my husband, when I know I can stay out as late as I need, has helped turn the 10 year stretch, into a new love afair. (thanks Stacie)
A sacrifice of even 1 hour of work so that I can sleep means the difference of making my new work schedule work for our family or not. (thanks JD)
This may seem strange, but having women that allow me to help them too, makes me feel worthy of all my friendships and the services they give me. Knowing that I can make someone elses life just that much easier by picking up a child from school, lending an egg or SOS pad, or grabbing a carton of milk while I'm at the grocery store helps build my sense of self worth. So thank you to everyone for allowing me to serve you, it almost seems selfish, because I think I get as much out of it as you.
Thank you to all the wonderful people in my life. Life is never as hectic as it seems when there is a great network of people that you can count on in your life.
