Grace in Small Things: 25 of 365

1. Finding ways to overcome my victim mentality of having sick kids for 3 weeks straight that keep me from friends, gym and any other social activities involving small healthy children that my kids could infect. Example from this morning, stealing the boys hat’s and chasing them around the yard as the double-hatted monster making them giggle. And giggling always destroys any sense of self-pitying.

2. Signing up for a hip-hop style dance class (of sorts) on Friday nights.

3. Securing a babysitter for Valentine’s Day.

4. Finding a bandeau bathing suit in the perfect shade of rosy pink and dreaming about warm weather to come.

5. Getting ready for Levi’s 2nd birthday next Wednesday. I love me some festivities! Matthew will attest to that with a sigh :)

Wage a battle against embitterment and take part in 365 days of Grace in Small Things
