Happy Fall Ya'll

Happy Thursday Everybody!!! Today is Thankful Thursday I know, but since I didn't do a blog on Monday, I'm combining the two again!!

I am soooo Thankful that I finally feel better. That was one LONG aggravating illness. Hopefully I'm good for the rest of the year, cause I don't want to go through that again!!

I hear that my Dee Dee is gonna be a Gramy again!!! PJ and Sophie are expecting. How exciting!!!

I'm thankful for all the Fall colors that are starting to show up! I love it!!!

I'm sure there's lots more I'm forgetting to say, but I saved the first of this blog for last, and Mom and Bobby are sitting here with me now, so I'm a little distracted. I'll just say I'm thankful that God has blessed us in so many ways we don't don't deserve, and I love Him with all my heart!!!!!

For Today:

Outside My Window: It's 6:00, and Bobby is outside with Katybug already. Something about needing his GPS. All I know is it's strange to see him up this early!!

I am thinking: What was I thinking? I went to Goodwill this week while they had everything 75% off. I bought 8 HUGE bags of stuff for eBay, (and 3 things for us, lol). My receipt said I bought 96 items, and my total was $154. Not bad at all!!! My estimated conservative profit: a little over $1,100.
The 2 ladies who checked me out said I had the biggest load they'd ever rang up. Not the largest sale, since it was so cheap, but the most items. No, I'm not proud of that! The other customers were laughing cause I couldn't see over my basket, and telling me they hoped they didn't get in line behind me!!!

I am thankful for: The ability to do what I love. The love and support of my wonderful husband. My awesome Chillins!!

From the Kitchen: Well, yesterday my Savory Beef Sandwiches (new recipe) was such a hit, especially with Sarah, don't know if I can top it!! I think I'll make Chicken, Stuffing, Cranberry Sauce and Potato Salad today. I've got onions and celery left over from Chicken Salad that I need to use up, and that comes to mind.

I am hoping: That Sarah's temp will stay down. It was up again last night to 101. She needs a break!!!!

I am reading: Well, I finished "Becoming the Woman of His Dreams", and passed the test, HAHAHAHA! Well, I'm trying anyway! Now I'm reading "Living a Life that says WELCOME", and "Simple Abundance", as well as Through the Bible in a Year and Nightline Devotionals for Couples.

I am creating: Some space in this house, but that's gonna take a while. I managed to separate all the Goodwill stuff into Summer, Winter, Jeans, Dresses, etc. and into buckets. Now, what to do with the buckets? Right now there are 14 buckets and 2 suitcases in the living room and dining room. I cleaned it out last month, but piled it back up again already, ugh!!!!!!!!

I am praying: For complete healing for Sarah, and that my boys stay well!!!

I am hearing: My Mommy is alseep behind me on the couch. She left the TV on last night, so I'm hearing the news. I'm also hearing Bobby in his bedroom. He stayed up after Kate left, and I fixed him coffee (haven't done that since he left his Great Dane job!!) Awe, we just had nice little early morning chat!! He's the greatest :-)

One of my favorite things: My new super clean and leakless roof, thanks to my Super Hardworking Hubby, who looked awesome against the clouds while he worked!!!!!

Around the house: Too much noise! I don't like the TV on, but if I turn it off, Mommy will wake up.

A few plans for the rest of the week: Never sure about plans lately. If Sarah gets better, we'll go to the River Saturday. But right now, that's not looking promising. If we stay home, we'll try to go to the Harvest Festival at Church.

Marriage Enrichment idea: I think we all understand the benefits of treating your spouse with love and respect. I think I'll branch out into other areas for a while after this!! Do something nice and unexpected for your spouse. Let them know you're doing it because you appreciate all they do for you and your family. It's amazing what a little act of kindness toward your spouse will accomplish in bringing you closer together!!!

Here is the picture I am sharing:

Baby Alex and Nanny!!

My baby came home this weekend, and I didn't get to see her because of all the sickness :-(
