Being grateful

My goal from this moment on is to learn to be grateful for what I have and to try to stop wishing for what I dont/cant have. I have a home, a husband that loves me and does a fantastic job providing for us, I have a child that I was unable to raise that still loves me and gets to be part of my life and even calls me mommy still, I have wonderful friends, and I have 6 beautiful children that love me unconditionally and are great little people. So why oh why do I always want more? More children, more money, a cleaner house, more helpful family members, a romantic husband, newer stuff(like pots and pans and a couch that isnt broken). I spend so much time being envious of my friends that have wonderful loving romantic husbands that do night feedings and back rubs. Or people I know that have mothers or sisters that will help them with their kids. I love my life and I chose to have 6 children. And yes lately life has been a little stressful, Eric hours cut WAY back, Erics van broken with no hope of being fixed until the taxes come in leaving me stuck at home with no car most of the time, a brand new baby. But I am vowing to myself to slow down and remember that my children wont be children forever and I need to take the time to enjoy them and make sure they know how grateful I am for each and every one of them. So here goes nothing!!!
