Day 10

Steady Income

I've been reminded about this pretty much daily.  We have been very lucky since the recession.  We haven't had to struggle financially.  (unless it was our own stupidity)  Brady has always been very lucky with the cabinet business.  You would think that cabinets and hair would be something that someone would hold off on until things got better but nope.......we've both stayed busy.  I love it though and am very grateful for everyone that has helped us out in any way by keeping us both in business.  Thanks!

Day 9

Bobka Fam

I'm thankful for my 'newer' family for a lot of reasons.  I love them because they keep me grounded.  They have helped me a lot over that last few years and I'm grateful for that.  They are also a lot of fun and they love getting together and just hanging out.  I couldn't ask for better in-laws!  I could ask for less drama!  :)  No offense.

Day 8

My Family.

I'm pretty sure I have the best family!  They do anything and everything for me.  They are always wanting to go out together and have fun.  I've noticed my family acts more like friends.  We bicker, tease, get annoyed with, and laugh with each other   I read a quote that said you know someone is a true friend when they don't agree with you but they'll let you know how they feel and will still support you.  Yup that sums up my family!

Day 7

Birth Control, Streets Signs, and Government.

I'm grateful for all these things because I have a client who recently went to Haiti for some volunteer work.  She's a nutritionist and she was there to educate, along with a dentist, a doctor, and a mid-wife.  I think there were also a few more people.  She was telling me there was no such thing as birth control, street signs, a government and trash cans let a lone trash bags.  She isn't a huge Obama fan but she said she has never loved that man more.  It's not uncommon over there to be 16 and pregnant.  It's frowned upon but they don't really teach you about abstinence and there isn't any birth control.  She also was telling me that over there when you drive, you pretty much are praying for your life the whole time.  There is no structure, no stop signs, no lights.  You just hope that the person sees you and someone yields!  Well if there are no street signs there's definitely no government!  

(So I know I have really bad grammar and punctuation.  Sorry to the people who actually read my blog and notice.  Maybe I will go back to school someday and learn how to write again.)

Day 6

T.V.

Yes I know.  A little worldly but I'm grateful for television.  It's kind of a 'love/hate' relationship.  I love watching what I want to watch but I hate football!  I feel like I can connect with Brady and the television and then there are some nights that I could kill Brady and the T.V.  I do watch too much T.V. though.  I should use it for more resourceful information.  Oh well.  I still love it and I'm grateful I'm not a pioneer without it.

Day 5

Friends

Today I have been reminded how thankful I am to have great friends.   To me, your friends are like family.  They love you, have fun with you, wanna kill you at times.  They don't always agree with everything you are doing, but they are always there for you in the end.  At least the good ones.  They'll take you for who you are and deal with it.  Today I was reminded I needed to be a better friend.

Day 4

Well this day is reminding me how much I love being a Momma.  I've been thinking today, while I have been trying to organize my house better, how grateful I am that I have a child.  Especially one that I was able to have on my own.  At work yesterday, since it was a slow day, we all were talking about how much harder it is these days for people to get pregnant on their own.  Some get pregnant within the first try.  Others months, and others are even years.  Some never at all.  Some have their first baby right away and their next it takes a lot longer to get pregnant.  I only have 1 child but I'm very blessed with him.  If I was only able to have him I would be fine.  I'm sure it could be hard at times but at least I have 1 child.  So since I had a bit of a harder time receiving Baine, and baby #2 is probably going to take some time.  I'm taking this day to being VERY thankful for being a mom.
