Day 4 & 5: 30 Days of Thankfulness

Day 4:
I am thankful for my church family!  It is so wonderful to be surrounded by such a group of believers.  A pastor who preaches the Word.  The whole Word!  The good, the bad and that which makes you reflect on the ugly in your life.  I love our pastors wife, who also teaches God's Word.  I am grateful for the instruction, the reproof and the correction.  The support and encouragement.  Guidance.  I am tankful for the friends that I have made through church.  For the ministries within the church that we have been able to be part of.  I could go on and on....I am truly thankful for our church.


Day 5:
I am thankful for my "Laundry Monster"!  Laundry is actually one of the household chores that I really don't mind doing.  I don't like folding the clothes so much - which is why there are mounds of clean clothes in my bedroom at times.  But, I enjoy hanging clothes on the line when the weather is nice.  I love the smell of fresh clothes.  I love the warmth from a load of towels or blankets coming out of the dryer.  I love sliding in between clean sheets and a warm blanket on top, especially on a chilly night.  More than that though, my "Laundry Monster", as large as it gets sometimes, reminds me that we are well provided for.  Each of us has the clothing, towels, blankets, etc. that we need...actually probably more than we need.  Along with my laundry I am grateful for my washing machine.  It being down for just a couple days last week made me crazy!  I don't think that I would enjoy doing the laundry so much if I had a washtub, washboard and ringer.

The Countdown Begins...

It has been a very hectic past few months. My oldest is now 6 and my middle child is 3, oh me, time is going by way too quickly! All followed up by my youngest turning 1 in October. eek! So the countdown started yesterday. I gave notice and my last day working outside of my home will be June 30th. Yes a long notice...but I felt like it was necessary. Even more necessary is for me to take on my God given role to raise up my children in the way they should go. I am excited and yet nervous. I am coming home to be a worker in my home - to the most important job that I could ever do! I definitely don't want to mess it up. So not only is the long notice for my current boss, but also so that I can prepare myself for all that awaits me. Things will definitely be changing in our household, but I am sure that they will all be for the better so long as we keep our gaze on Him.

Tuckered Toddler

Webb and I got home one night from a night out alone (few and far between these days) and little Sam had fallen asleep on Cat's bed. Just too cute not to snap a photo.

I want to be a loser

I hate to admit how complacent I have gotten with being healthy.  I know what I need to do which makes it much worse than just being ignorant.  I know how to count calories (or points).  It's a simple equation more output than input.  Add in chaos and the need of convenience and it no longer seems quite as simple.  In addition to the chaos I have a huge weakness for sugar!  Preferably the chocolate variety.  But really any sort of 'sweet' will do.   My hubby and I came to a so called agreement right after Christmas.  I will give up sweets and he will give up soda (his weakness).  "Give up" is so very harsh.  Neither of us has been perfect with it.  He of course has done much better than I.  Unfortunately for him I am weak and when I have given into my sweet tooth I have tended to bring him a Coke.  Oh only upon typing that out did I realize how horrible I have been.  Did it take anyone else back to Genesis?...
