i'd be a horrible leader. in any sense of the term.
here i challenged YOU, my faithful blog readers to a challenge and i skipped out.
let me just make THIS very clear, i'm thankful.
i've been thankful for something EVERY day since i posted on the third. i've just been too lazy to write about it.
let me recap. (minus the pictures)
the 4th. thursday.
thankful for an unexpected coffee date. i 'quick' ran into kathy's, my bff, to answer a question. about 2 hours & a big-ol-mug of java later, home. love u kathy sue. thank you for a wonderful break from my everyday 'norm'.
the 5th. friday.
today i was thankful for pizza lunch. although i'm 'in charge' (kath http://www.wubbenworld.blogspot.com/ & amy http://www.vandalenclan.blogspot.com/ are EQUALLY partnered with me!!), i still LOVE a day that i don't have to make lunches!!
the 6th. saturday.
a PERFECT stay-in-all-day-have-nothing-planned-day. i'm so thankful for a hub that lets me sleep in, makes breakfast to keep the whipper snappers quiet, THEN makes me coffee! ahhhh. yup, i'm thankful.
the 7th. sunday.
i am SO incredibly thankful to belong to a small group at church that helps to direct parents in the right direction. i wish i could sum up all the amazing things i learned in this class this morning but don't know where to begin. in a nutshell, we are learning how to teach our children (and ourselves) to center their/our lives around scripture. we are learning MUCH.
the 8th. monday.
i'm thankful for the opportunity to spent most of the day shopping with a 'new' friend. we are kindred spirits in the shopping/decorating world. thanks to miss A for a GREAT day out!! check out her crafty little blog over at http://www.vintagedutchgirl.blogspot.com/ . she's inspires me!
the 9th. tuesday.
thankful that i have a home in which to wash toilets. a weird thing to be thankful for, but it's true. if i didn't have a home, i wouldn't have toilets to clean.
as the day wore on, i started feeling crappy. went to bed at 8. spent the next 10 1/2 hours sleeping. awww. thankful again for a hub that can handle things on the home front while this mama is down.
the 10th. today.
today i am thankful that i am feeling a little better. missed small group this morning. sadness. pulled myself together to make it to my meeting at school. had a good afternoon with fellow 6th grade mom's watching our kiddos practice for their upcoming musical. come check it out on Thursday afternoon or Friday night. (next week). it'll be worth your time!
there you have it.
i'm current.
yeah for my fellow bloggers who are also doing the Thankful Challenge. a shout out to Emily http://www.2boys2girls2ofakind.blogspot.com/ and Emily http://www.ghettobarbiegab.blogspot.com/
way to go girls!!!

Hey--love the thankful list. Love the look into your life. What are you doing with your small group? Video? Book? I think I'm looking for something to do with a group.
i'm actually in 3 small groups right now. (this mama needs all the insight i can get!)
my girls group is doing 'Crazy Love' by Frances Chan. awesome.
our couples group is doing a Les and Leslie Parrot study. a marriage one.the name of it has escaped my mind right now. i'll let you know and then steer you clear. a tad boring.
our sunday morning parenting class is actually 6 couples from our church that have MUCH insight into raising Godly kids. i wish they had video taped it. i leave there every week, close to tears, so thankful for wise council. now if only we could 'enforce' every bit of wisdom!
are you looking for a womans group, couples or parenting study?
Praying that you feel better...I have been down for 6 days now with that awful cold/cough and finally feeling better...just in time to head to meet the birthmother...I am loving your thankful series!!

Love your list...love you too!!
I had such a great time shopping too! Not to mention the constant chatter going on :)
I'm pretty thankful for you!

Are you planning to do this project right away??? I'm in if it's after Christmas, but right now I'm doing 2 rooms, painting the entry, putting in new flooring in 2 bathrooms, new trim in 5 rooms and all before the 2 parties in early December!!! (Did I say I?? I mean mostly hubby and I!!)
