Thankful Thursday

For Today:

Outside My Window: The sun has just popped through the clouds. It's gonna be a beautful day!!!

I am thinking: Well, lets see...I'm about as sick of Halloween costumes as a girl can get, haha. I'm glad I can go back to my jeans for a while!! God is awesome!! He answered a prayer in a way only He could!!!!

I am thankful for: The couple of days I got to spend with Rob at the River. None of our neighbors were there this weekend. It was kind of spooky, deserted, but it was GREAT!!!
The fact that I got all but 2 of my costumes listed to eBay. I'll wait and do those after I see if I find more at yardsales this weekend.

From the Kitchen: Hamburgers on the grill, Homemade French Fries, Macaroni Salad

I am hoping: I can get a LOT of jeans listed in the next week. Time for back to school shopping on eBay. I wanna be ready!!!!!

Sarah doesn't wake up until I can get over to the store and buy some Pepsis. Two Pepsiholics and no Diet Pepsi in the house spells MURDER......

I am reading: I finished reading Lisa Welchel's Book "Taking Care of the Me in Mommy" at the river this week. It was great. She's reminds me so much of myself! She even follows FlyLady.net and OrganizedHome.com. She has a notebook filled with lists just like me. She doesn't keep up with it half the time, JUST LIKE ME!!!! I've started another book there but can't remember the name of it. Something about being a joyful wife!!!

I am creating: A happy (but cluttered) home!!

I am praying: Ok, this is good! I have to tell you how great God is! I was fasting and praying for God to show me if this eBay business was what he wanted me to do. I LOVE doing it, but I HATE the fact that inventory takes up my whole house. Well, yesterday I went to my favorite Goodwill store as usual, but on this day, there were SO MANY awesome brands of jeans that I had never seen in the year I've been doing this! I've done lots of research on brands that sell well, and I found 4 different brands there that they have NEVER had before!!! And the Brand New jeans with tags still on them, oh, it was just like Christmas!!

I bought a ton of jeans, came home to do a little more research, then went back to the store. As I was driving back, I prayed, not really seriously, "Lord, if this is really what you want me to do, let me find a parking space in the VERY front. And guess what? Yep, there it was! I was laughing and almost crying at the same time. God answers even our smallest prayers!!!!

I am hearing: The clock chiming 8 times! Oh I've got to get busy!

One of my favorite things: Well, it would HAVE to be the beautiful flowers Rob brought me and Sarah yesterday!! He said he brought us "Make Your day Bouquets"!!!! They sure did!

Mine!!

Sarah's

Around the house: Total silence now that the clock has stopped. Oh wait, I hear a choo choo in the distant background!

A few plans for the rest of the week: Yardsales, eBay

Marriage Enrichment idea: What encouraging, uplifting words can you speak to your spouse today?
Thank you, Father, for prompting me to speak words that honor my spouse!


Here is the picture I am sharing:

He looks so peaceful doesn't he? In all reality, the bugs were biting us so bad we couldn't stay there long!!
