A "Gak"- kind of Day

Tonight I am thankful for:

• God
• My husband 
• My children 
• Not losing my temper over the GAK incident (GAK is homemade silly putty that apparently gets extremely gooey in hot temperatures as it did when my daughter decided to take it outside in the 90 degree weather. Needless to say, I spent an hour cleaning it off my front porch, the outdoor furniture, my daughter and her brand new shirt, her shoes, and the mail she got out of the mailbox while holding the GAK in her hands. Uh, oh…I better go check the mailbox!) 
• Getting to cook dinner for my family 
• Getting to tuck my kids into bed 
• Getting to watch Criminal Minds with my hubby 
• My bed 
• My covers 
• My brain that allows me to write and think and learn 
• Iced coffee (YUM!) 
• My doggie 
• Air conditioning! 
• Water for my plants 
• Yummy cheeseritos that my youngest and I had for lunch 
• Love 
• My husband’s interest in the bad dreams I had last night and in how I am feeling today (my mood is not the best and I am starting a new medication tonight.)

Thank you, God, for this day!
