Nothing really special to blog about today, I'm currently on a lunch break at work at 0530 in the am, and it seems like I rarely have time to catch up on blogging at home, so.... This works!
We are counting the days till Thanksgiving!!! LITERALLY!! The kids put a big "X" on everyday that gets them closer to when their big brother gets home! : ) So sweet... Ma-lak's prayer before dinner last night went something like, "Lord, I'm glad it's only 6 more days till David comes so he can take us to the arcades!"
It's super cool this year that the kids have the ENTIRE week off next week. How relaxing.... No rushing home from work to get them to school! I have Tuesday and Wednesday off before Thanksgiving and I'm sure I'll spend the majority of that time cleaning and doing all the last minute grocery shopping that I'm putting off doing this weekend.... Looking forward to time at home just BEING..... Loving the growing contentment in doing nothing in particular, as long as I'm with my family. Thanks, Lord!
My mom had surgery yesterday morning to repair a hernia, and everything went without a hitch! She was back home that same afternoon, and my sister was able to be there with her for a few days to help her and dad out. (Miss you guys, wish I was there!) She's of course sore, and having a cold/cough doesn't really help when you've just had abdominal surgery, so please keep her in your prayers!
Hope this finds you all counting each and every blessing as a season of thanksgiving approaches! I'm reminded a million times a day, usually at work, that I'm so fortunate to have my health... Lord, please help me to not forget that or ever take it for granted!
On a fun note, the girls have begged and pleaded that I take them to see the new Disney movie "Entangled" when it opens next week. :) Oh, twist my arm! I love every opportunity for a mommy/daughter day, and it looks like a cute movie! And we'll have to throw in some black Friday shopping too, I'm sure, since I can't keep my children in clothing and shoes faster than they outgrow them! Here's Ya'shar's four-year-old philosophy on hand-me-downs: "Mommy, how come when Ma-lak keeps getting bigger his clothes keep getting smaller and then I have to wear them? I don't like it!" Hilarious!
Blessings to you all!
