Homeless and pregnant.

Just watched this show on TLC. And I have to say I have never felt more sad or depressed in my entire life.
I cannot imagine having to go through a pregnancy and not have a home. Not having a shower, or a bed, or a room or crib for your baby. Having to sleep in a tent everynight, and having to clean yourself in stream water. All the while knowing that if you don't find a home for yourself and your baby, the state will most likely take your new baby away from you.

Its just so sad to me and it makes my heart ache because I know there are so many people in the world with those same circumstances. I wish I could just help everyone so no one ever had to go through that. I know the next time I think my life is hard, all I have to do is think of this show. The smallest things that we take for granted, having a toilet, or a shower, or a bed, are things people have to go without.

Came home early today cause I wasnt feelin too great. Kinda wish I was sick more often and still got paid the same amount cause I totally loved being home a couple hours earlier than normal. I love coming home and being greeted by Bailey's hugs, Addison yelling, "Hi Dada" and getting a nice and loving compassion hug from my beautiful bride. Today was a day where I was able to soak in all the things I am grateful for. In spite of dealing with normal day to day problems that so often drive and split famlies apart, I find myself feeling so blessed and lucky to have what I have. Its silly for me to get worked up about not having certain things in life. But the reality of it is, that things are just things and can easilly be replaced or purchased. A loving family to come home to cant so easily be found. I may not have be filthy rich and have wads of cash falling out of my pocket, but I am more rich than I could ever imagine.
