30 Days of Thankfulness

November 18, 2010
Today I am thankful for quiet mornings.  I enjoy the hour or two I get in the morning when everyone is sleeping.  I get up with my husband, sometimes between 5 and 5:30, make his lunch and than snuggle back in and watch some news until 6:00.  I than have from 6-7:15 to get ready for the day, relax, have my devotions and just enjoy the morning before the little munchkin arrives.  Normally he is still sleeping so than I have until one wakes up, normally around 8:00 to get some things marked off my list.  All that time really helps my day run smoothly and as I sit here this morning enjoying the calmness, I am thankful.  Plain and simple.

30 Days of Thankfulness

Today I an thankful for  . . .my soft bed!  Today was a really long day - not a bad day at all - just long, lots of things going on and we seemed to be going non stop (even no naps for two little boys!).  It was so nice to fall into bed (last night since I forgot to post this I was so tired!), crawl under the covers, snuggle in and drift off to sleep!
