Counting my Blessings!!

Have you ever had one of those days where nothing seems to go right and you just want to go home, go back to bed and start all over. I had one of those days on Monday.
It started off at daycare, I not been totally happy with the new daycare since we've started there but its the only facility in town that will take both of my boys! So, I wan't there on Friday when tiition is due so on Monday morning, I had my check all written out and dropped it off in the paybox. Then I signed the boys in and there was a message saying that because I didn't pay my tiution on Friday, I had to pay a $10 late fee. So, I got out the check box but was pissed. So, I called my husband adn told him I was ready to find a new daycare. So, after Matt turns two or when Kevin starts school in the fall, the boys will be at a new school. It may seem like something small but its one of many things that have been bugging me.
Then my day at worked sucked. I loved my job with Fish & Wildlife but my new job I'm not loving and I just wanted to quit! I know I can't quit but I have been thinking about looking for something new. So needless to say, I was just having a bad day and was having a pity-party for myself....Then I read a friends blog and realized that I needed to stop and count my blessing.
Jen was one of my best friends in 7th and 8th grade. We were President and Vice President of our choir class. We had knick-names for one another, June and Ward. I loved hanging out her house with all her brothers and sister. I have great memories of sneeking out her house to go and see a boy...and I remember tying to sneak back into her bedroom window and my pants got stuck and we got the giggles so bad!!! I moved away at the end of 8th grade but we have always stayed in touch through out the years.
So, I was in a ho-hum mood when I got home from work and I decided to surf and I decided to read Jen's blog. I was in shock with what I read. Jen found a lump in her breast! I can't even imagine how her and her family had to feel and what they are going through! Jen is a wife and a mother to 5 beautiful children and she is just amazing....how in the world can something like this happen to her!! But she is taking the news well and I'm amazed by her faith and I know that it will carry her though this ordel. She is in my prayers daily! So, I had to step back and look at the big picture. So, I'm having a bad day, so what, there are more important things in life.

Here is Jen's Blog...
