Yesterday, I was overwhelmed.

Yesterday, I went to work...I was overwhelmed.
Yesterday, I had a meeting with my administrator for my yearly review...she asked me some tough questions...I was overwhelmed.
Yesterday, I picked two kids up from school...I was overwhelmed.
Yesterday, I nursed a baby, cooked dinner, fed a toddler, fed a baby and ate dinner all by myself...and I was overwhelmed.
Yesterday, I did not want to go to Bible Study...I was overwhelmed.
Yesterday, I went to Bible Study...and I was thankful.

Today, I am thankful that I have to healthy, wonderful kids to get ready for daycare.
Today, I am thankful that I have a safe, loving, nurturing place to take my girls while I work.
Today, I am thankful that I have a job.
Today, I am thankful that I have another opportunity to talk with my administrator again.
Today, I am thankful that I will pick up two healthy, wonderful kids from school.
Today, I am thankful that I will nurse a baby, cook dinner, feed a toddler, and feed a baby.
Today, I am thankful that my hubby will be home to help out.
Today, I am thankful that I have an amazing group of women that can help me appreciate what I have.
Today, I am thankful for my hubby and my family.
Today, I am thankful.

I need to bookmark this post so I can come back often for the reminder. I’ve had more than my fair share of these days lately. Love how you turned it around.

I am sorry you are overwhelmed but I am really glad you went to BS. I usually find that the times I want to go the least is when I need to go the most!

It’s always nice to be thankful.

Today I’m thankful that the kids haven’t broken something for once AND that the cat hasn’t thrown up on the rug.

Also, Lost is on tonight. And that always excites me.
