sooooo thankful it's thursday!!!

  • the way eli says "electrical blanket"
  • my boat sillyband
  • finally getting eli's lego contraptions set in the mail
  • making a machine out of legos (a car that goes!!)
  • good smelling hand sanitizer
  • the fact that sandwiches made by someone else always taste better
  • quick moving clouds
  • the UGA "G" that went on caroline's face so easily
  • watching my kids enjoy the UGA v AU ladies basketball game
  • good & safe travels to texas
  • sleeping all the way through alabama (no offense to alabama...it was just good sleep!!)
  • 2 mercy ships mugs full o' candy
  • not having caffeine/soda all week and being perfectly ok with that
  • fresh fruit
  • fabulous snack breaks!
  • my TA year end donation total and amanda's donation total pretty much match (and i do believe i know the key to making them match perfectly)!!!
  • the transition of my kids from aunt amy to mary (with some molly time in the middle) went well from what i can tell from 550+ miles away
  • christian fiction books (read 1/2 of one last night...excited to read the rest tonite!)
  • the time to read so much of a book in one sitting without staying up 1/2 the nite!
  • knowing that so many people are praying for us (all the texts and emails have been wonderful!!!! thank you!!)
  • knowing that God has a plan...and answers...and provision....
  • a salad bar at lunch and dinner every day - cucumbers, tomatoes, crutons, olives, italian dressing...so good!
  • missing my kids (i'm not thankful that i miss them...i'm thankful that i don't not miss them...the amount/intensity that i've missed them has been quite surprising)
  • we get to come home tomorrow (i'm thankful it's thursday) - most likely i'll get to see our kids before friday turns into saturday (granted, they will be sleeping...but we'll be in the same time zone and zip code and house)!
