The weather here in Chicagoland has been nothing short of odd lately – teens and below for a few days, now we’ve been in the 50’s to 60’s and now going back down to the teens again soon – I’ll admit it’s making my RA flare up more than I’d like but I’m doing my best to deal with it. There are days I swear I’m stronger than I think I am and then there are days where I feel weaker than my 6 year old son. Today was somewhere in between…

Today I Am Grateful:

1) That I dragged my booty back to the gym with my Dad today – I took it easy, walked my regular 40 minutes but didn’t even make it a full mile though I did finish disk 1 of the book on CD I was listening to

2) For the weather seeming to hold today until everyone was in the house at one time or another – went grocery shopping after the youngest got out and the rain held until we got inside with the last set of bags and closed the door. Then again after I picked up the oldest it started to pour again about 2 minutes after we walked in the door. Thank You Angels :-)

3) That homework was done with a little less fighting tonight.

4) For a yummy breakfast-for-dinner evening again – scrambled eggs, pancakes (with and without chocolate chips), bacon, and biscuits. Warm and filling on a damp, chilly night – Thank You for cooking with me Baby!

5) That another day is done, a night of restful sleep is ahead of me (I pray) and a brand new day awaits in the morning. Wishing you all a good night & sweet dreams ♥
