Ever so thankful!

So I missed yesterday. I kinda have a feeling that's gonna happen more than once, what can I say, I'm a slacker that way!:)

So, I've got a couple things I'm thankful for today, you know, to make up for yesterday. So today, I'm so grateful for the health of my family and myself. So often, we aren't thankful for our health until we're sick, and having recently been there I really am grateful for good health. Not only that, but Thank goodness we have modern medicine to help us recover quicker, or at the very least, ease our pain while we are sick. I can't help but think of mothers way back when, who had to watch their children have fevers, and not be able to do anything about it. It's awful to have to watch your children suffer when they're sick, and not know how to help them, seriously, motrin can be my best friend some days!

Now, this next one may seem a little shallow, but to me it's such a big deal! I am SO grateful that the yucky spider I smashed tonight with Peyton's bike, was outside. Cause when I smashed that yucky spider, about a hundered yucky baby spiders scattered!!! I have heard that happens, but haven't actually seen it. OH MY GOSH! I have the heebie-jeebies just thinking about it. I may have a nightmare tonight. I can't imagine what I would have done had that thing been indoors. I probably couldn't sleep here. Okay, that may be an exaggeration, but I would have used a whole can of raid. So I'm grateful that bugs are generally outside, and I may start rethinking smashing spiders in the house, just in case.
