Today I'm thankful for finally feeling like my life is falling into place. I feel like I'm on the right track in every area and am continuously working towards various goals I have. It's such a good feeling to know that my prayers have been heard and answered. That I'm on this path because I took the time to really seek God and listen when He answers me.
"Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying." (Romans 12:12 NLT)

Another Day
I had one of those days you feel like a failure as a parent. The kids wouldn't listen, I did a lot of disciplining, and we could all have been in happier moods. I'm thankful that tomorrow is a new day and we can make it a better one.
I know my kids love me and they know I love them. Days like today are just hard.
I'm looking forward to tomorrow and our week ahead. I think I need to start spending one on one time with the kids again. Special times for just us. Those times are special to me and I know they each love having my full, undivided attention. Time to start planning some mom/son and mom/daughter dates. :)
Changing topics now...my parents went away this weekend, to Lincoln City, OR. They are celebrating 35 users of marriage tomorrow. They enjoyed walking on the beach, shopping, good food and ocean views. I'm so happy they got to spend time with each other without all the everyday stuff in the way. They got home today and the kids were jumping up and down on the front porch as they pulled in the driveway. They clearly missed their Nana and Papa. My parents brought back all kinds of gifts for the kids and a cozy new hoodie for me. The hit of the trip was the pirate gear the kids got. :)

Fun
Tonight I am thankful for the fun I get to have with my kids. We have had movie nights the past few evenings and it's been really fun. They have seen four new movies and loved them all. We even had a pizza picnic in the living room tonight while we watched The Lion King. It was great!

TGIF
Today I'm thankful it's the weekend! My voice is still not right and I'm ready to relax and enjoy some down time. :)
Before the down time can begin I have to get my monthly shopping trip out of the way. I'm glad it's suppose to be great weather all weekend!

Voice
The head cold I have been battling all week got the best of me today. I woke up without my voice. It made for an interesting day at home and at work. It's starting to come back some tonight though. Needless to say, I'm thankful for my voice. :)

Colds
Colds suck. Me and both kiddos have a head cold. It's nothing serious just annoying! This week is a busy week for us but I'm thankful for the downtime and the rest I have been getting. I'm ready for some slower paced days...only about 5 weeks left of school now!
Tonight we had our end of the year Awana Award ceremony at church and it was a fun celebration. I'm so proud of all the kids we had this year. They all did such an awesome job memorizing books and verses and participating in games. I'm so proud of Zane, he finished his book and got several awards for attendance in Sunday School, uniform, etc. he worked so hard this year and it showed! And my little Claire, she got a certificate for participating. Next year she will understand better about memorizing scripture verses and such. I'm do thankful we live in a community that offers the Awana program. I loved it when I was younger and I love that my kids enjoy it and can't wait to go. It's such a good foundation for them and I'm excited to see what the coming years hold for us all. It was fun to help out this year, I really enjoyed working with the first graders and can't wait for another year with them!
