Day 6 - Gatitude Project

Eva is still sick but doing better this morning - she held her high fever through the night so I slept with one eye open. That kind of worry is no fun. My imagination gets more of a voice than I'd like... I started worrying that if I drifted off to sleep, she would take a turn for the worst. There were lots of tears and I gave out a zillion hugs while pushing fluids but we made it without incident. I am dog tired this morning but she seems to feel a little better. Tim's taking her to the pediatrician this morning so I have the morning "off." I have so much work to catch up on that I do not see a nap fitting into my schedule. It's OK - I am at the point where I would rather not feel so behind then feel tired. This gratitude list will be geared to getting into the groove.

1. The holidays are coming (and a month off of school to get my batteries recharged!)
2. That the holidays do not stress me out because we keep it simple
   
3. That I have a studio in my house to do my work and school
4. Tim - I know I have written things about him in previous lists but I want to acknowledge that he's my lobster.
5. caffeine and sugar - that I am not a slave to either, but I do love them both.
6. Noggin - I love that if my kids are gonna watch TV, there is an educational, commercial-free option!
7. My wonderful stash of art supplies - it took a long, long time to collect, but I almost never have to go to the Michaels's to get items for a project.
8. our back yard - we have wonderful trees, a lawn, two raised garden beds and enough space for our kids to kick the ball and ride their bikes (in circles).
