  • Thankful Thursday

    Today I am thankful for....

    *A son who loves to play outside as much as I do
    *Open windows and warm sunbeams for the dog to lay in (for today...we won't even ::mention:: the forbidden S word that may be coming again tomorrow)
    *Time to just chill in the middle of the day
    *Books and group discussions that spur me on to the path to being a more passionate person
    *Our AMAZING God, who absolutely deserves my passion focused 100% on Him
    *Supportive family
    *Fruit snacks & dum-dum suckers (Lucas will do almost anything for one of those...and no, it's not bribery )
    *A month's worth of meals in the freezer
    *A plethora of creative projects just waiting to be done
    *Mitch's grandpa, who is celebrating his birthday today
    *My awesome husband who loves to come home to us at the end of the day & who loves what he does during the day!
    *Simple pleasures like a smoothie made with the morning's left-over coffee
    *Coming home from work in the evening while is it still light outside
    *Big stress-relieving hugs

  • We're finally starting to see lots of grass everywhere! Even our large front-yard piles have shrunk considerably...so much so, that yesterday I found a newspaper from Dec. 25 that had been buried for over 2 months!  I really couldn't believe it was unscathed.  Those little orange newspaper bags really work :).

    My trim-painting project is coming along little by little.  I stopped painting and got stuff cleaned up a little while ago because Lucas was crying so I was going to get him up from his nap.  Now I again don't hear him, so I suppose I could have kept painting for a little while.  Oh well!  I ordered a duvet cover from Target.com on Friday and it's supposed to come sometime this week.  I'm really hoping I like it in our room, or it's back to the drawing board. But I love the colors!

    I also resumed working out this week.  It's been so sporadic this winter with first Christmas, then me sick, then Lucas sick, then me sick again...and then the habit had been broken.  So I told Mitch I was just going to cancel my membership, but I think I changed my mind.  It really does make a difference in how I feel, even if I just go 2 or 3 times a week.

    Hm, what else?  We had a fun weekend, with friends who came over Saturday night for supper and then Leah & her foster brother stayed the night. The weekend weather was so gorgeous, so much of the time, we just enjoyed doing outdoor fun things! 

    Now it's rainy, but anything is better than snow at this point! I'm not saying there isn't a possibility that might still come, which I don't mind...as long as it goes away quickly! Oh, now I do hear Lucas for real...so it's time to get going to work!

    Have a blessed day...
