Thankful

Okay - it's been awhile again, just not used to this I guess.
Sitting here, after being granted a day off to rest, trying to do that and realizing that I am so thankful for the chance to do just that and struggling to do so. I think it is hard for the Mom to take a day off and be in the same house with the kids and the husband. Not because the husband has done anything wrong, but because of how strong the mothering instinct is, at least with me. I want to be the peacekeeper - but need to let the boys figure things out on their own.

I have other things to be thankful for since the last time too - my medication for the MS is being covered by the drug company - at least for now and that is a huge financial blessing for the family.
We have stayed safe and warm during all the snow this month.
Although we need a new garage door - we have the money to pay for it, and it will set back paying off some debt, we won't go further into debt to replace it.
Aiden is talking more - and wanting to be more interactive. Going to be transitioning him to a regular kindergarden bus for his ride home from school - instead of the pre-school bus they have been sending for him. Praying this goes well - since this bus will not have an aide on it. I'm pretty sure this will go okay - he has been riding a bus since he was 3 and knows the rules on them.

Some of the MS symptoms seem to be back in full force - hence the day of rest. Think I overdid it some days during the snow shoveling and running up and down the stairs doing laundry. Praying that by having a day of rest / down time that they will subside - or a call to the doctor is in the very near future.
