Day 189
Today was a lovely birthday.
God must really love me to give me such a cold and windy April 7th. The weather was amazing today.
Matt and I went to lunch.
There was leftover cake.
I got some new necklaces and a beach hat.
Matt gave me a sweet card.
I got messages and texts from so many people today. I felt very loved.
I got to hang out with family.
Patty got me my favorite ice cream cake for tomorrow.
Steph and Mario brought me a lovely gift.
I have the feeling this is going to be a fine year.
There will be a delicious meal tomorrow.
My mom texted me and let me know that my actual birth minute had just passed.
Thankful.

Even though this day was hard...

Day 188
I would like very much to write that today was perfect and wonderful and full of sunshine and roses. But it wasn't. It was a difficult day. I had a panic attack. It sucked. Panic attacks leave you feeling like you can't trust your body because it has just betrayed you in such a real, yet somehow fake way. I mean the panic you feel is real, and there are physical symptoms, but the reason for the panic itself is usually fake.
Even though there was a hard part of this day, there were countless parts of this day to be thankful for. So here they are:
1. My students made me homemade birthday cards. Each one of them was incredibly sweet.
2. My friend Lorrie gave me a beautiful and meaningful braclet!
3. My friend Michelle gave me an awesome to go mug and a gift certificate to the bookstore!
4. My co-workers told me why they loved me this morning.
5. There was an ultimate white cake at work today for me.
6. My student's mom came in with a lovely sheet cake from Wegman's for me.
7. My favorite ladies took me out to dinner.
8. I have lovely flowers to look at in my house.
9. The storm clouds cleared.
10. The calm after the storm was lovely. Same goes for storms in life. The blue sky is always there. It's just that it's sometimes hidden away where we can't see it. But it's always there. Waiting.

Day 187
I am in my warm home in my warm bed while the wind is howling outside.
Adelyn and Tobin love to cuddle while we read at night.
My husband put pictures in our new picture frames.
After tomorrow, we're on spring break.
Higbee has been quiet and tired lately. I love sleeping dogs.
Thankful.

Baby breath.

Day 185
It was a beautiful day. The sun was warm, the breeze was cool, the sky was blue, and the clouds were puffy.
I love the people I work with.
Higbee's eyes looked especially sweet and brown today.
Tomorrow is Wednesday. I like Wednesdays.
My husband bathed the kids and put them to bed tonight so I could go to a PTO meeting with Patty. And because we both found ourselves out with no kids, we took advantage and got pints of Halo Top and went for a drive.
I'm excited for spring break. It's coming soon.
My kids have the softest hands. I love it when they want to hold hands with me while we walk.
I cannot wait to hold Odette. I cannot wait to smell her, and feel her tiny feet, and smell her sweet baby breath.
Thankful.

Lovely Sunday.

Day 183
It was a pleasant Sunday; sunny, cool breeze, blue sky.
We watched a movie as a family in bed this afternoon. It was cozy.
We went to a playground with the kids, and while we were there, we saw a dust devil. It was the strangest thing I've ever seen. It looked just like a mini tornado. It picked up the wood chips off the ground and was spinning them around. It was pretty cool to see.
My parents came over today and they brought a delicious turkey dinner with them. We had turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and gravy. It was glorious.
We had leftover cake for dessert. Cake and ice cream. I love ice cream.
It's April. Odette is coming this month.
Our house is clean and it looks pretty with all the flowers leftover from Patty's baby shower.
My mom and I had a good time having a dance party with the kids in the basement before dinner.
Thankful.

Grand Day.
April 1, 2017
Day 182
It was a good morning with my mom here. She spent the night last night so she could be here to help with the shower. It's always nice waking up under the same roof as my mom.
The shower was lovely.
We have the sweetest family and friends.
My aunt Janet's laugh is contagious. Hearing her laugh makes a person feels full of joy.
There was delicious food.
It was beyond good to visit with the best family and the best friends today.
It was cold today.
There was a glorious sunset.
My dad watched Tobin during the shower. They went on a hike and looked for bears.
There were beautiful flowers today.
There were plans made to make plans to hang out with family.
There were sweet tiny pink outfits and baby things today.
Patty looked beautiful at her shower today.
It was a grand day.
Thankful.
