Counting Our Blessings

I am just going to take a brief moment here to count my blessings and be thankful that I have healthy (and good looking :) well behaved babies, a husband that adores me and his kids, and a roof over our heads. With the economy and all of it's bull, I am really thankful that Omar and I have made it so far and will continue to make it. Even though we didn't get the home loan that we wanted because of our limited credit history (its only 2 yrs old), that gives us more time to help out his mom and dad. His dad isn't the most talkative and/or emotional guy you'll meet. But recently Omar and his dad had a heart to heart and he told Omar that he is glad that we are living with them. It takes a weight off his shoulders because he is afraid to leave Omar's mom by herself, as she has left the stove on multiple times, locked herself out, left the phone off the hook and fallen asleep when something was cooking. And here all this time I thought we were a burden to them. He told Omar that he knows we want our own place and that we are getting a tad antsy about finding a house, that we could stay as long as we needed to. Which put a relief on me because here I'm thinking that we have like a deadline and stressing out. Anyway, I'm just really thankful for them and all they've done for us and on our behalf. They are a true blessing.
