I woke up this morning to two sick kids. We are on day 9 of staying indoors because of fevers, and Joe’s flu has turned into pneumonia. All I want to do is complain about it. So it’s the perfect time to make a gratitude list. Here are a few things I’ve been thankful for lately: Best friends who happen to be brother and sister. Creativity and ingenuity. (Joe, why…
