Weary but Thankful

Tonight, I am weary. It's just been one of those days...weeks, really. I am just worn out. The boys fought and argued all day. I haven't been sleeping good. I've been trying to clean my house for two days but have gotten nowhere, because there are three little guys who have been demanding my attention from the time they open their eyes until the time they fall asleep. And usually a few times in between. I've lost my patience and raised my voice more than I'd like to admit. We had to put my car in the shop today. You know how it is. We all have  those days where we feel like we have nothing left to give. But instead of going to bed frustrated tonight, I want to write a short little list of little things I'm thankful for right now. And hopefully this will change my attitude. Because I really do know, I am so very blessed. 

{I am thankful for...}

My mother-in-law who is letting me drive her car for a few days while mine is in the shop. I'm also SO thankful she invited us over for dinner tonight. 

Friends who get genuinely excited when I send them new pictures of Lennox. 

Three little boys who can't get enough hugs and kisses before bedtime. 

Our air conditioner. Really. VERY thankful for a/c. It's hot out. 

Mint green nail polish. 

The way Levi calls a kiss a "po-po"...the Korean word for kiss. 

Movement within Korean adoptions. 

My cappuccino. 

My husband. 

...Well, it's amazing how quickly that can help. I feel better. And tomorrow is another day! I get to kiss those sweet faces when they wake up in the morning (probably way too early...haha), and take another shot at getting a room or two clean. I'm also very thankful I get to stay home with these boys, and I don't ever want to forget that. Even if I grow weary some days...
