Complaint #1: I need an adjustment on my Thyroid and my doctor's office are being dorks about the whole thing. I have to wait at LEAST another 3 weeks before I can do anything about it.
Complaint #2: I got woken up too early this morning and I am SO tired. So why am I still up at 12:00 am you wonder? Well, I needed some ME time. That brings us to...
Compalint #3: Jon has been gone a week but is living it up with his family in Utah and enjoying a break from EVERYTHING.
Complaint #4: I'm am so exhausted from my son's whining, complaining, and destruction of any and everything around him. I get it, boys will be boys, but come on.
Compalint #5: My responsibility to get myself and the kids up for church tomorrow and be to sacrament by 9am. The chances of making it on time are slim to none but I'll give it a go.
Complaint #6: I wish I had more money to get studio equipment!
---------------------------------------
I suppose that since I had 6 complaints I should list 12 blessings but that ain't gonna happen tonight so I'll counter act the natural pessimist in me and name a few:
Blessing #1: I do have my health and strenght to care and nuture 2 beautiful children. Though my body isn't perfect or to its self, I'm still able.
Blessing #2: I have a somewhat cool house to sleep comfortably in during GA's humid hot weather, as well as shield my family from the rain that's coming down outside.
Blessing #3: Jon HAS a stable, secure, awesome job at Coke, with perks, that provides for our family during these economical UNSTABLE times.
Blessing #4: My kids are alive, healthy and beautiful. They are safely sleeping and I get to be with them every day.
Blessing #5: I have a building that is only 7 minutes away from my house and I have the freedom to practice any religion I choose.
Blessing #6: I have the talent God blessed me with and that I am able to give of that talent to others as well as the resources to own a great camera to utilize in furthering my dream.
Now I'm hongry and I need to get in bed. The end.

We all have to vent and complain sometimes. At least you backed it up with the positives! I hope you had a better day today! Love you!
Vanessa I sure was glad to see you yesterday and see you in better spirits than the day before. Yes, we all need to vent now and again!! I've done my share--it's like purging, then pulling ourselves up and gettin' going again. We all do have so much to be thankful for, and it's always good to recognize the many blessings we receive, and let Heavenly Father know how grateful we are. Hang in there! THIS TOO SHALL PASS!! LOVE you all, MAMA
P.S. I enjoyed your gratitude list. I'm glad you chose to do that. It seemed to have helped you to get going again :)MAMA
You mean I'm not the only one with problems?? So glad to know that. On a serious note, I needed to read that Vanessa. Life is seriously too short to focus on the negative as you have reminded me just now. I am thankful to know that Heavenly Father hears prayers and answers them in his DUE time. I emphasize DUE because it is just that. The Lord does want us to be happy and has so much in store for us, but of course we are here in this imperfect world and have to endure through life's challenges so that we can achieve our ultimate goal of living with him again. We are so blessed :)
ah I agree with Tanya. Thanks for blogging and helping us remember our blessings. Be thankful you actually HAVE a house...we are trying to find one and it's been frustrating. We don't really have a place to call home yet. I love your pictures, thanks for sharing!
