Thankful Thursday

It is tough to start this post today. Not for any big reason, but I'm kind of in a whiney mood. Myka has been really hard to put to bed lately, and she gets ups really early...I haven't slept until my alarm in days! I also have really stuffed sinuses for some reason and it made It hard to sleep last night...and then I woke up with a headache. 

I know. Whiney. And I'm sorry for that, but I also know that I still have so much to be thankful for despite these "little messes" life throws at me :)

This week I am thankful:

1. That the fall weather has held on this long. It makes so many things so much easier!

2. For a gravelled driveway. Three cheers  for no more mud! And an awesome husband who did all the work!

3. Impromptu trips to GP with Daniel and no kids.

4. While the occasional kid free trip is nice, I'm also thankful for the time I've been able to spend with just myka and Danica this year. Myka is really excited about kindergarten next year, so he's been wanting to work on writing her alphabet almost every day. It's so cool watching them learn :)

5. I took steps this week towards opening Little Lily Bamboo again, and I'm very excited and thankful for the opportunity to continue with it.

6. A few days ago Daniel took the girls to town with him for a couple hours and I napped the entire time! It was pretty awesome :)

7. That we caught and treated the pink eye before it spread full blown through the family. It was going around the school, so we knew to expect it, and were prepared, thankfully!

8. For what God has taught me about forgiveness this week...and he taught it to me using my girls :) maybe I'll have to do a separate blog post on that this week!

9. For my dishwasher and two girls who are old enough to to the dishes now :)

10. Peaceful mornings.

I feel better now :) enjoy the last bit of fall everyone!
