Small Successes and Thankful Thursday!

Well, it's another sleepy Thursday morning. What a week! We've been battling the "ickies" over here, so I feel behind in a lot of areas, especially extra rest - but some things have gotten done! I'll have to jot them fast so we can get on with our day!! :)




1. I completed my 30 day Challenge this past Monday!!!!!! I worked out (with scheduled rest days) boot camp style the last month and loved it. It was very empowering to start something, and finish it, without getting bored. I credit that to the Wii Active which switches things up, so it never got repetitive. I'll start another challenge next week. I'm doing some walking/resting up as I battle what feels like a head cold coming on.

2. I've really enjoyed cooking this week. I've been trying new foods including meatless meals, tofu noodles, homemade sauces, etc. I strive to be the cook that my friends are!!! You know who you are...and you ain't CRANKY to me!!

3. I've functioned this week. With 2 sick kids, little sleep at night, and the feeling of a head cold coming on for me...I've been fighting back and little else has gotten done. I got a quick escape Tuesday visiting our friends (and that felt good - makeup and real clothes?? REALLY?) but otherwise we've been in the trenches, and it feels good to see things have gotten better in a faster amount of time then normal.

How's your week been?

Thankful Thursday
This week I'm thankful for....

1. feeling connected again.
2. the returning health of my family.
3. friends who remind me what an honor it is to be the one the kids want at 1, 2,3, and 4am - even as I feel I'll lose it. Cause, it is. Really.
4. being able to be at home with my kids everyday.
5. my parents.
6. my marriage and incredible husband!
7. my precious girls.
8. hidden blessings, unanswered prayers, small miracles.

Many warm thoughts, blessings, and love to your day!!!
