This week has been one that if I could erase I totally would. With the week long flu visiting every member of my family, an extra crabby little boy, feeling the stress of being a single parent and more snow than I could handle on my own. It was not only a physically draining but mentally as well.
On the upside though I realize that we are surrounded by kind people in our lives. I am one that would probably rather cut off my own arm than ask people for help, but have realized that sometimes as much as I hate to do it, it may be necessary for me in the next couple of months.
So today I am grateful for kind people in my life that have pulled me out of my "poor me"mode. I am grateful for a couple that have adopted my husband and have treated him like a son, invited him to go to activities, dinner, the movies and have made him feel at home in their home. A friend that called to offer any help that she could even though she has three small children all under the age of four, ward members that offered to help clear the foot of snow in my driveway(I may be exaggerating I've never been good at measurements), a good friend that showed up with a gallon of milk today after going one whole day without it,(lesson learned, I need to start watching the weather a little more!) and a neighbor who in all actuality is a complete stranger, snow plowed my driveway today.
