Very grateful

This has been an amazing summer filled with trips to the beach, parties, friends and family.  E has truly had an awesome time at the beach and swimming.  Throughout all the car rides with crying kids, 10pm bed times,  random temper tantrums, we tend to forget how grateful we are.  We have two healthy kids, two beach houses to go to and are surrounded by wonderful family and friends.

I sometimes sit her frustrated at the world because I only got 3 hours of sleep. In reality, I should be happy I have two kids, sleeping or crying.  It could be worse.  I feel guilty sometimes because I sit here worrying about such meaningless things when other moms are worry about TRUE issues.

I write this post as a reminder to not just moms but to everyone, to stop every once in a while and think about everything you have.  And when you think your life sucks cause you didn't get to finish your coffee (yes I admit I do this!), think that it could be worse...a lot worse.  

I am so lucky and today I reminded myself that!!!
