Monday moments of gratitude- May 9th

Linking up with Shaunacey again this week!
Here are some things I'm grateful doe this last week.
1. First and foremost I'm thankful I have a house and healthy children and things. Unlike a lot of the residents of Fort Mac who fled but left their personal belongings. We couldn't stop watching the news it was so terrible. Donating to the Red Cross at every store I went into since last Wednesday feels like nothing. I hugged my kids tighter last week.
2. Speaking of kids. I'm thankful to be a Mom and to even get a Mother's Day. My kids spoiled me rotten. They served me coffee in bed with a new tray they got me from chapters. And Mady got me a really pretty tea set. Nick also got me a Starbucks water tumbler which I adore. And of course handmade gifts. Which are always the best. :
3. I'm grateful for my mom. Who like gave birth to me. And made me awesome. Thanks ma. She also put up with me and my sister while we were teenagers. And poor woman I made her a Nana at the age of 41. She's a great Nana and my kids love her to pieces.
4. Last but not least I'm grateful I get a birthday. I'm choosing health this year over everything else. I'm choosing to lower my blood pressure ( which is down by the way) and do what I can to control what I have control over. Too many others have not had the privilege of turning 36. And while I want to complain I won't. I'm lucky. So even when the weekend didn't go quite as planned it's fine. My family celebrated with me and my parents got me Adele tickets so there is always that lol!
