Blessed

Yesterday was a very rare day for me.  I woke up in the middle of the night and knew I was sick with some sort of stomach bug.  I was up pretty much all night, but tried to convince myself that it was something I ate or just an upset stomach because I never threw up.  So I got up like normal and decided to do a slow run to get at least 3 miles in before going to class.  Needless to say that did not help my health and by the time I got everyone out the door and arrived in class I was feeling pretty awful.  I can't remember ever calling out sick, but after 30 minutes of trying to teach I had to leave.  I got another teacher to take over and came home to go straight to bed.  After sleeping most of the day I realized that indeed I am truly blessed.

Blessed that a friend was able to take over my car pool duty and bring Preston home
Blessed that another teacher was able and willing to teach my class for me at the last minute
Blessed that Preston played solo for over 2 hours while I slept on the couch
Blessed that once Savannah got home she did her homework independently and watched Preston
Blessed that I had friends offer to take my kids to church for dinner and Wednesday activities
Blessed that Dave is content with microwaved fish sticks for dinner
Blessed that we had enough food in the house that I didn't have ot order out or go to Harris Teeter
Blessed that by dinner time I was feeling better
Blessed that I never threw up!

And the list goes on.  I'm just thankful that in the midst of such a rough day God reminded me that I truly am one blessed girl!  Now I'm praying that no one else gets what I had.  Yuck!
