We don't have much planned for the weekend except going to church on Sat night...Dan will prob spend most of the day out in the yard tomorrow, probably the last time of the year...he needs to get all the bushes trimmed up and the grass cut...thankfully we don't have many leaves to rake since we really don't have trees in our yard :-)
Kristina is off school on Monday so I am hoping I can do something fun with them..even if its just going to get ice cream or going to the library....Hopefully we will all be feeling better again...Sophia still has a cough on and off and Dan is still sick as well... I also have a dentist appt. Monday morning...I love the feeling after having my teeth cleaned but always dread going to the dentist....the cleaning always hurts a bit and I just get so uncomfortable sitting in the chairs...but I am thankful that I have the chance to go to the dentist, have insurance which covers it and that we have a fantastic dentist...I watched a show recently where many Americans can't afford to go to the dentist and now they are ending up in the ER at hospitals just to have teeth pulled or fixed...its the only way they can get dental care...so more and more hospitals are getting dental staffs now...I found it interesting and sad.....so I choose to be thankful that I can go to the dentist whenever I want and don't have to sacrafice any of my families needs to do so :-) I have been trying to find joy in everyday things even when I don't feel like it...For example, dishes are never ending around here and it seems like once I clean the kitchen within a few hours it needs to be cleaned again..But when my dishes are stacked high and I feel grumbly about it I remind myself that 4000 children die EVERY DAY from contaminated water illness/ disease...Millions die every year!!! I think about what I am thankful for...The reason I have so many dishes is because I was able to feed my family today..3 meals and snacks...something that many people worldwide can not do....I have clean water to wash my dishes in and I don't have to worry about my children dying from drinking it...Or when my laundry never ends..I am thankful I have a washer and dryer...we see so many people around here walking down the street with carts and strollers full of laundry..kids in tow....and I am thankful I dont have to do that....We went to the laundry mat for years and it wasn't something I liked doing at all, I can't imagine having to bring kids and having to walk to it as well...makes me grateful I can just go downstairs and put some wash in...its not always easy but I am trying to find Joy in everyday things :-)
