Thankful, Day 6

Okay, this may sound a bit strange at first, but the thing that I am most thankful for today is...ibuprofen.  Two reasons.  First, Taylor had to get another shot yesterday {after getting the wrong one at her 3 yr check-up, this was the second time around...} and the poor thing was really uncomfortable last night.  She literally woke up from her nap screaming, saying her leg hurt and she couldn't get out of bed.  For the rest of the day and evening {including during our Progressive dinner with our neighbors} she complained and cried and limped and wanted to be held or carried.  I had given her some children's Tylenol {that's all I had} but it didn't seem to do any good.  So Matt ran to the store {during our neighborhood dinner} and got her some children's Ibuprofen.  Within a half hour, she was running {with a slight limp!} around with the other kids and didn't complain the rest of the night!  I was SO happy she wasn't in pain anymore!  Second, I woke up this morning with horrible cramps.  AND...I got a little carried away with our neighbors last night and have a little bit of a headache this morning.  So today, I am thanking my lucky stars that I have a Costco size bottle of Ibuprofen to take away my aches and pains, too! {They don't all have to be mushy and sentimental, right?!} :)
