(The space between Garrett and Libbie was my resting place :))10 things I can always count on...that I really don't like
1. kids in our bed when we wake up
2. toothpaste spit in the sink after the kids have brushed
3. an un-flushed toilet in the kids bathroom
4. a dirty kitchen floor 3+ times a day
5. dust
6. an overwhelmingly long project list
7. Family miscommunication
8. a very dirty backseat of the van
9. whining when I suggest cleaning
10. snow
10 things I can always count on...that I really like
1. Kids that love to snuggle & a King size bed
2. Kids who will brush their own teeth
3. Kids who are potty trained
4. A nice wood floor instead of the carpet we used to have in the kitchen
5. Furniture
6. The ability and time to do projects
7. A family to love and learn from
8. A nice van to drive our cuties around in
9. Kids who are healthy and able to help around the house
10. Water!
Which way do you see it?

Great Post Megan! I wish I could think like you do. Definetly makes you see the flip side of all those unwanted things and appreciate the good in all. Love ya!
Every glass is full of something to be greatful for. Sometimes, we don't see it, but we should be greatful for air as well. And if you look at it in another way even the unpleasant things or things we don't really like are really just opportunities to learn something new ore more or do something to make the world a better place or ourselves better people. It's up to us. That's really why were are here.
What a great picture! I thought before I read your post, "look how nice her white bedding looks... I can't do that with Scout :(" then after I read your post...I thought..."I have a great dog who lays on my bed with me when Jason is not around".... always good to flip the negative thoughts.
Happy Friday.
That's pretty cool. I wish I could look at the bright side a little more often. Megan you're smart!
Great post! I have a present for you that will help with one of those....just had to get it for you! If you like it, I might get one for other girls...thought I'd let you be the test...I know you'll tell me the truth:)! Mom and Granny used to play/quote the song "Accent the Positive and negate the negative"...after awhile it's in your blood!
Isn't it funny how there are things we really hate and then on the other side we really like them. Great post, it really puts things into perspective when you stop and think about them.
Now if I could just always think that way, think of the flip side.
I have thought some of those same things before. One for me is sleep...I LOVE to sleep! But a good night of the stuff hasn't happened since we had Jake. But I wouldn't trade one night of good sleep for all the sleepless nights because they were filled with my sweet kids. Great post. Oh, and great buys, by the way! I have got to get that coupon thing going on at my house!
hey, we used to have carpet in our kitchen, too! bleck! Love this post! (hope you read this since I skipped down...)
Love this post! Thanks for the reminder-I can't hear it often enough! :)
