So I have been reading back to the start of this blog. I see so much sadness in my heart. It makes me sad to read it. I have so many wonderful things in my life. Below is a list of things I am thankful for and even some things I miss in no particular order.<\/p>\n

1. My niece Chloe. She is such a funny silly girl. I miss the trips we took and I know that life would not be the same without her. I miss her stopping by and just being weird. I really never knew you could love a child that was not your own, but you can and I do. I adore this girl.<\/p>\n

2. I am so thankful for the spouses my children have. You worry as a mom that your kids will have people in their lives that cherish them. I am so glad that Scott has Jen and Taylor has Josh. And in a little glimpse into the future, Cassidy has Blake. I feel like my kids have found people deserving of them.<\/p>\n

3. I often go to call one or both of my parents. I try to remember that I am lucky to have the life with them that I had and not feel sad they are no longer here. I know my parents would be proud of me and of the kids.<\/p>\n

4. Job..I kinda need to find one. A job that makes sense for me. I want quality of life. Not just living.<\/p>\n

5. Ollie..he is my company these days. With the kids all buy he is always around and I am glad to have my little dog.<\/p>\n

6. I want to on a cruise and promise myself I will do so by the end of the year.<\/p>\n

7. AC. After last summer I was positive I would die if I did not have a house with AC. My oh my it was installed in May and it is magnificent. <\/p>\n
