10 Things I'm Thankful For Today, 11/23/05

I'm going to make a list, everyday from now on, of 10 things I'm thankful for. This task was inspired by an incredible sermon I heard last Sunday. You can listen to this sermon by going to www.marinerschurch.org and clicking on "the weekend message". That way you can be inspired to make a daily list too.
Don't feel like you have to check this everyday, I'm doing it more as a structured place to write for myself more than anything. Feel free to read the list anytime, though, I think it's important to share what I'm thankful for and you just may come across your name sometime. Ok, here I go...
Oh, one more thing, the list will be in no particular order and will be things/people I'm thankful for each individual day. I think it's 100% possible to find 10 DIFFERENT things to be thankful for everyday for the rest of my life, and that's what I'm hoping to do.

1. A loving God
2. marriage to Mark
3. Ben
4. Tina the cleaning lady
5. Ben not getting the flu from his buddy JT
6. My car, even though it's a van, it's really nice
7. My neighbors who look out for me
8. Mark's TWO jobs and that he excels in both (does that count as 2?)
9. Lunch with sweet friends, Kelly and Lauren
10. MOPS (group of moms that get together every thursday)

I'm pretty excited because I'm not crafty, at all, but when I saw this idea on my new favorite crafty blog I got all giddy because I thought, "I can do that!" and so I did. And since my kids ARE crafty, go figure, I had all the stuff to make them on hand - yippee! All I had to do was buy the goodies that make the wings, which only cost me a dollar (thank you Dollar Tree!). I put them in the kid's little Easter buckets. I hope they like them as much I do. :-)

In a Nut Shell...

Saturday afternoon, 2pm, got home from Costco and thought I might be going into labor. Troy woke up from his nap at 3:30, sensed what was going on and was not too happy about it at all. Thinking it was pretty early, but not want wanting to take any chances, we left for the hospital a bit before 4 o'clock Yep, too early. Walked the halls for an hour which produced more of these... Which felt like this... And at 8:42pm they led to this... We are so thrilled to add a precious baby girl to our family We love you Mia Joy! (7lbs 2oz, 18.5" long)

I know that people come from good places and the intentions behind their comments are never bad, and sometimes they're actually funny, but sometimes I just want to say, um, really? Is that the BEST thing you can think of to say? Here are some of my faves from last week... "I'm going to un-friend you on facebook because you do not look like you just had a baby a week ago." - sorry? "What's her name? ... Oh I know SO MANY Mia's. Like, SO many." - great. "Are you guys finished yet? Is there some literature out there I can get for you (to teach you about prevention)?" (This one is my favorite) - "I'm the oldest of three and I am SO glad my parent's didn't have a fourth." - um... okay. This is the one I hear from almost everyone, it's not necessarily a bad thing to say, I just get it A LOT, "Two boys and two girls? Oh, the perfect family." Does that mean before Mia we had an imperfect family? I also hear endle
