1. I just wrote about five of the 13 items and somehow it got erased. UGH.
2. Izzy started school yesterday! She went to kindergarten but only for about 45 minutes because the other Isabelle in her class was being busy and the teacher was loud on her headset. She spent the remainder of the day doing vision stuff with a lightboard. She did well I was told.
3. I got my closet clean. In one hour! I thought it would take all day.
4. Emelia’s room is still perfectly clean since her room redo. It’s amazing! I think the no food in your room policy has greatly helped.

7. And the medicine cabinet.
8. I’m taking Amanda to get her books for college this afternoon while Izzy is in school.

12. Nancy gave me an award today too! Thanks Nancy. This one goes to five bloggers… I pass this to Susan, Susanne, Julie, Amanda, Hope and Jessica. Okay so I gave it to six… truth be told I could give it to about 26!
13. Since it’s Thursday… and I’m thankful for so many things I want to add a few of those things. I’m thankful for Izzy’s teachers, and therapists. I’m thankful for my kids, they are truly the best. I’m thankful for blogging, and my friends here on the www. I heart you.

• I have so… much work to do today. I have about 50 CADS that are being requested asap meaning NOW! I worked until bedtime last night and again this morning until time to feed Isabelle her breakfast. I’m taking a minute to post and then back to work for the day. I’m thankful to have the work to do and the quiet house today to get it done.
• The kids (Bailey & Emelia) are still at camp. I haven’t heard a word from them, which usually means it’s going well. No news is good news. Thursday is historically cry day at camp so I wouldn’t be surprised to receive a call or text sometime today. I’m hoping they are having a wonderful time and thankful that they are able to go to camp!
• Amanda is at work all day today. She’ll be gone until after dinner. I’m so thankful this job came along, she loves it. It is so much more fun to her than a job at a fast food place or clothing store.
• It’s Father’s Day this weekend. I’m sure thankful for my daddy. He’s the BEST!

I’m so thankful this thursday that we are all healthy, happy, blessed and highly favored by God. God has so richly blessed and cared for us. I see His hand in all areas of my life and I am amazed at His works.

I’m also thankful that I finished updating izzy’s blog template. It’s not perfect, but neither am I or my skills so I’m thankful to have it done (sort of :o).

I’m thankful for my bloggy friends!

I’m thankful for the opportunities to make cash while blogging and snuggling little izzy. It is yet another blessing.

There are so many things to be thankful for today!

(funny how a funeral puts life into a whole new perspective… every time)

1. I’m so thankful that I am getting good reports from Izzy’s teachers and therapists every day! In the past I have geared myself up to hear negative and found myself repeating 2 Cor. 5:7 when going into those doors… but this year it has been so positive and still I walk by faith, not by sight. The biggest joy is knowing that she is enjoying school and happy. That is a blessing!
2. Coming home after a long day. Home is just the best place of all. I love taking off all my jewelry, then changing into comfy clothes! Love it.
3. I’m thankful for my blogging friends. You guys are the best. I love popping in to read what you have to say and love all your sweet comments.
4. FALL! Isn’t the cooler weather heavenly? I love the crisp mornings and the cool evenings. The nice breeze. Beautiful.
5. Quiet mornings, just me & Izzy! (I was basking in one of those, but matt just popped in and told me he is off for the rest of the day!)
6. I’m thankful for my cell phone! How did mothers survive without them before? I know the answer to that questions, but what a blessing to always be a literal phone call away!
