Eleven Things I'm Grateful for Today

Sophie is an excellent dancer.

Eleven things I'm grateful for today:

1. WE SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT!!! I felt so horrible that I went to bed at 8:00. I don't think I've done that since I was seven years old. And we didn't wake up at all!
2. The blackberry stain cleaned up in an astonishing way! I tried carpet cleaner and diluted dish soap, but baking soda and white vinegar is truly a miracle.
3. Ben has thrown up three times today, but THEY WERE ALL IN THE TRASH CAN!!! This is huge people.
4. Ben being sick makes him unusually cuddly. He has not been this way in years (normally way too busy). Not that I am taking advantage of the situation or anything.
5. My mom is the most helpful, servant-hearted person in the world and has kept this train from going off the rails at so many moments when I was just about done. Thank you Mom! Love you!
6. In my latest Wal-Mart run I found a huge box of Starbucks Cafe Verona k-cups that was way cheaper than they usually are. It was just sitting all by itself, like it was waiting for me. I love when God does that!
7. We FINALLY managed to work in a haircut for Sophie. She looks adorable and you can see her eyes again (sorry Soph).
8. Bethel Music on YouTube. An instant mood lift.
9. Odd Squad on PBSKids for providing Ben with some edutainment this week (although now he wants his friends to form their own Odd Squad, with multiple walkie talkies and for Mom to replicate the outfits).
10. It's supposed to be in the 60s next week! Come on, spring!!!
11. Friends who pray for us and who are there when we need it. Thank you all!
