Days like these

I started to write about today being a long, tough day.  And it was.  But halfway through it just started to feel like whining, which I really hate doing.

So I stopped, hit delete, and started over.

Instead, I am going to say that...

• I am grateful that Jon's hernia surgery was successful and that he seems to be recovering very well. 
•  I am glad that all three boys are home and tucked in bed so I can have a few moments of much needed down time this evening. 
• I am (once again) overwhelmed with the people in our lives who are so willing to pitch in, roll with plan changes, and help out when we need them. 
• I am relieved that I didn't have to worry once about how our kids were doing today because I knew they were cared for...and I could focus my energy on Jon.
• I am so lucky to have a sweet husband who can make me laugh even when he is emerging from anesthesia.

I am tired.  And life is good.
