Finding the Joy in Stressful Situations...Day 24

Not going to sugar coat things, this week has been long and tiring. Both Josh and  I have been putting in long hours at work, we've had something each evening, our kids are worn out.  However, we still have so much to be thankful for!  Today I am thankful for the following:  
We have 2 fully functioning bathrooms again! Since June we have been remodeling both bathrooms upstairs and had run into some issues, so both of them either didn't have a shower or sink to use. Today, a plumber came and fixed both and now they are both fully useable!! You never know how much we take for granted until you don't have it.
Kids eat free on Thurs nights at our local BBQ joint - I didn't have to cook - food is delicious - our kids eat free - Win-Win-Win!
Watching my sweet son sleep on his daddy's shoulder. The kid who never falls asleep anywhere, fell asleep at 6:45 in the car, slept through Pre-school open house, and went to bed when we got home.  
Friends that I can call on to pray for what may seem silly/small but to me a huge deal.  Alicia and Brittany - thank you for your prayers!!!
My beautiful daughter getting a 100% on her math test. She is like me in that she's not a fan of math and works a little harder then the other subjects that come naturally to her. She was so full of joy when she got home! That's definitely hanging on our fridge! Proud of her!  She truly earned it!
Thankful tomorrow is Friday!! Looking forward to being at home!
Thankful that despite a stressful situation still with Landry and his accidents at pre-school, I am able to ask for prayer, go to God in prayer, and breathe, knowing deep down God has this, and He'll put Landry where he needs to be.  
If you are a pray-er, would you join me in praying that sweet Landry boy would cease his accidents at school and he can stay? We can already see a huge difference in his speech, communication, and we as his parents and teachers there want this to work out!  He's a mystery, does great at home, but at school....struggling. Thanks for your prayers!
God is good even in the midst of stress!
