Thankful Thursday

These are a few things I am thankful for today...

1. My sewing maching- sounds so lame, but I just finished my favorite apron I have ever made. I like doing this... I guess it is my creative outlet and a fun gift to give! If I really knew how to sew it would be even better...but until I do I will just bumble and stumble my way through the process.

2. Good Friends- Our friends, Steve & Kamari Kemp, came up this weekend... Steve went home early and Kamari and her kids stayed a few extra days. We had such a great time... we cooked, and made aprons, and laughed, and shopped a little. Great time had by me at least...thanks for staying, Kam!

3. Group Weed Pull Session- Yeah! Kamari and her kids all joined in the fun and helped us pull weeds. I hate to pull weeds and I was so happy that they were such great little helpers. Isn't it fun to come to my house and stay. Maybe next time we can clean out the garage or inventory foodstorage...(well that wouldn't take too long)

4. My last few days of school- A busy week, but I am kindof hoarding as much time as possiblbefore school is out. I went to lunch with some friends yesterday and we all laughed that it was our "last lunch". IT will be nice to have a little relaxation going on... but sometimes it is great when the kiddos are in school and not fighting over important things like who ate the last of the "favorite" cold cereal and what show to watch... Gotta love summer!

5. School Being out- The last item sounded pretty harsh...but it will be great not to have to study spelling words or worry about projects. We will have a lot of fun!

6. My kids- I wasn't going to start getting cheezy again...but the events of the last few weeks have really made me think about how much I love my kids. They are kids and sometimes make me crazy...but I would be really crazy without them.

Thankful Thursday...

It is that time of the week again... so here it goes!THis is what I am thankful for:1. Tasha and Luke- I was so overcome with gratitude for them last week that I forgot to mention how thankful I am for my great babysitters. Luke and Tasha and their little baby, Ruby tended my kids and house while Caylor and I were in Mexico. The kids had so much fun... movies, bowling, a constant party! They took good care of them, and it was so great to come home because my house was SPOTLESS! Thanks! You guys are the BEST!

2. Funny Things... I love to laugh! I am thankful for funny things in my life that take the boring out of each day. That is a reason I think I love blogging... people write funny things. I am very Thankful my dear friend Mindi is so dang funny and posts such hilarious things.

3. Brock- I know I get a little sentimental often...just bare with me for a minute. I am thanksful for my little brother- he and his darling wife came up for a Dr. appt. and they stayed over night. My friends were all meeting for lunch and he ended up coming with... 11 girls and him. Cracks me up. He charmed them all... he is one of the funniest guys ever.

4. Diet Pepsi- It is my own little bit of heaven- the necter of the gods! I am fully addicted and totally devoted to getting my daily fix from the Chevron Drive Thru.

5. I am a yellow- I am so thankful that I am a fun-loving yellow! It is a personality color thing... I love to have fun! Life is a party and I am hosting... so it says. Sometimes it gets me in a little bit of trouble because there is an element of flakiness, but it will all come toget her in the end. Oh... that reminds me I need to get off this stupid computer and get my crap ready... I am hosting a bridal shower in just 9 hours that I am not really ready for. YIKES! I'll report tomorrow ( I know you 6 people that read this are not going to be able to sleep in anticipation, but try)

Thankful Thursday

Here are a few of the things I am thankful for this week:

1. Public School- This week I have had a vacation hangover as well as sick kids. Today is the day all three of my kids go to school for the whole time. I am actually going to unpack my suitcases and start some laundry. Sounds like a lot of fun...but the time has come.

2. My Cousin, Teisha- Yesterday I had the best phone chat with my crazy cousin, Teisha. At one time we were joined at the hip and then life took us different ways...but no matter how long it has been I can still laugh my butt of when I talk to her. She has the most wicked sense of humor and I laughed until my stomach hurt. It was the best little lift in my day!

3. My Nail Babe, Chal- Today I get to be entertained and solve all the problems of the world! I have a nail appointment. I drive to the ends of the Earth ( not so good for Earth Day week), but it is much cheaper than therapy. Chal is a rockstar nail tech, but more importantly she is such a great friend. She cracks me up! She'll be happy because I don't have any broken either...what a good day!

4. A week of vacation with my man- We had such a great time. I have such a fun time when we go anywhere...let alone to a sunny, tropical paradise. It was a fabulous week to just be together...sounds cheezy, but I think it is important to just be together. He is so funny, and charming and just a great time. I was sad when he had to go back to work... I missed him, but daddy's got to bring home the bacon!

5. Fake eyelashes- I know I sound like Shallow Hal, but I love wearing fake eyelashes. Most of the time I just wear the MAC ones, but when I go on vacay and want to look glamorous even in the pool I get the eyelash extensions and they rock. I love not having to wear any other make-up. Who knows maybe I will become a granola...yeah right, like that is going to happen! I love glitter, and glam, and fake too much for that!
