The good news... my cold is fading. The bad news... BT has my cold. Today was just one of those days that I kept asking myself "is it over yet?" as I kept going through the motions from activity to activity. I recovered from my cold just in time for a jam packed day and just in time to wind down this Harvest Festival stuff.
It's always about this time of the year that I start thinking about Chicken' N Dumplings! (and fudge, and trash, and....) So, I made myself some C&D! Although, I didn't eat them yet b/c they're better when they sit overnight! :) I wanted so bad to take a picture of myself and my shirt and my hands and the flour that just gets HEAD TO TOE - so, I took a pic of my dumplings in progress!
I've decided that Thursdays are going to be my "Thanks on Thursday" day for me. (So, I'm going to list my things I'm thankful for today for Thursday b/c we're going to Dallas tomorrow.)
- Sleep & how it just "revives" you - I used to take it for granted, but I don't anymore... I NEED IT (man, I sound old)
- Our bodies & how they can heal themselves
- Lex's sweet little heart - her teacher stopped me after school today in drive thru & said "she has such a big big heart... she tries to comfort her friends and takes care of them, etc"...
- My husband that took care of me while I wasn't feeling good (although, the tables have turned... ladies, tell me you feel me on this one when your husbands are sick and they are just "so much worse" than you were) hee hee
- Chicken N' Dumplings ( oh, did I say that outloud?)
- GABC - our new church and the doors that have opened
- My Jeff Johnson CD that Mandi made me - I love it (thanks!)
- People that accept me for who I am with my flaws b/c they hope people do the same for them
- Friends that you haven't talked to that you can call & pick up right where you left off!
- Ry and those big blue eyes that look up at me and tell me "bye, love you too" right before he gets out of my car when I drop him off at school
The list could go on.... and on... and on... and on....
