Ten Things Wednesday, Yeah WEDNESDAY--I'm thankful & it doesn't matter what day it is that I get around to writing about it.
1. MY BABY WILL BE HOME IN TWO DAYS!!!!!! Sure other stuff can happen to prevent that, *cough/Satan/cough* BUT, I chose to think positive & have faith and BELIEVE God wants it & with our faith, it will be truth.
2. I'm so thankful for air conditioning. And that includes borrowed window units.
It makes me a nicer person too.
3. Some people don't have good bus situations for their school kids, but we've been really lucky to have not good, but GREAT bus people. Some have moved, some have passed on. But we still have good ones here & they always go above & beyond. This time they stepped up letting us borrow a seat belt lock for son#2 this weekend.
4. Thank you God for terrific friends, family & church family. Listening to me whine, stress & flip-out. Always there to talk me off the ledge & help problem solve. And without all of our friends, we would never have made it through this 9 months son#2's been away.
5.I'm thankful for my boys---without them I don't think I'd smile & laugh as much. Sure three kids is more of a handful than one. But I'd rather have more the laughs & memories. They are so hilarious & make me crazy all at the same time. Life's stressful and to have them distracting me & keeping me busy helps keep me up in the happy, rather than down in the dumps.
6. I had a friend who's young 3 yr old daughter was accidently hit in the head with a golf club last week. She had surgery & has recovered amazingly well! A true miracle. It was such a scary situation to hear about & see. I'm truly very thankful that God had His hand on her & the doctors.
7. This summer has been so different already from past summers for me. It is NOT my favorite time of year. I detest it. It depresses me. Seriously.
But this year, there's a little less stress, no summer school so we set our own schedule & we have an extra car so the kids & I aren't home bound all day.
8. I have reason to also give thanks that son#1 is STILL eating homemade grilled cheese & loving it! He is saving me some money & making some other small concessions on yogurt. Baby steps---but the first baby steps since he was about 6yrs old. I'll take it.
9. We've had two elders here in our home congregation that have health scares recently. I'm excited to see them doing better & better with time and prayers. The power of prayer & an earnest heart is so wonderful.
10. Mothers are a strong breed. Mine has great endurance & when we need her, she comes to the rescue.
