Thankful

So, I've been a big slacker. I don't know how long it's been since I posted. So, I am thankful for going to the temple. I was able to go with Jake to a session last night, and it's been way to long. There's such a peace that you feel there that you don't feel any where else! I long to be at the temple, but I don't know when we can get a babysitter again and go to the temple. I have a hard time paying a babysitter when we go to the temple.

A catch up

So, I will try to catch up, but unfortunately I'm not sure what I was thankful for some days. I really need to remember to do this every day.
January 16 through 18 - I'm very grateful for 4 day weekends. With the Martin Luther King Day holiday both my husband had Monday off and my son had Monday off from school. We were able to enjoy each others company and see Planet 51.
January 19 - I'm grateful for the mutual program for our youth in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I have the opportunity every other Tuesday to attend, and I get to know the girls I teach better.
January 20 - I'm grateful for Parker's dance class. This day Parker and I were clashing pretty big. Timmy and I dropped him off at his dance class and did some errands particulary going to Chick-fil-A and getting a milkshake which I was grateful for.
January 21 - I don't know what I was thankful for this day. Probably my baby Timmy's smile!
January 22 - Parker brought home his 2nd report card and he is doing wonderfully. So, I'm thankful that he is starting to do better in the classroom setting, and that he enjoys school!
January 23 - I'm grateful that Parker has a good friend that he could go to Chuck-E-Cheese with. He had a great time there, and he was able to go without my husband or I. Also, I am thankful for waxing. I have the worst time keeping my eyebrows and mustache under control, and so I went and had them waxed.
January 24- I'm grateful for the sacrifices that my parents made while I was growing up for my family and I to have a good life. That was the lesson material today in Young Women's and my friend taught such a great lesson!

Thankful

January 15 - I'm thankful for Bunco! I was able to go to Bunco with some of my friends from the spouses group I am a part of. It was so much fun, a lot of great food, and a lot of laughter! I loved it!

January 16 - I'm thankful for basketball! I love basketball and have always loved basketball. Today was Parker's first day of basketball, and he had so much fun! There are parts that I need to work on with him, especially shooting and dribbling.

January 17 - I'm thankful for my husband taking the boys on a walk! I have been fighting a headache lately, and he took the boys on a walk.

Late again with Thankfulness

So, I'm late again for my thankfulness. Where to start!

January 12- I guess I should be grateful for great friends who are doctors. This day I took Timmy in for his hearing test, and yet again he has fluid in his ears. The audiologist is one of our good friends and I am his wife's Visiting Teacher. We are lucky to have great friends who do such things. He was so nice to Timmy and involved Timmy in everything. He referred Timmy to the ENT, which he has an appt on Feb 4. I'm sure that he will need tubes in his ears, but good thing for modern day medicine!

January 13 - I am grateful for modern day allergy medicine! This day I took Parker to see another one of our doctor friends, an allergist. Parker has been suffering with really bad allergies, and we wanted to get him tested so that we would know what was causing it. He is allergic to Mountain Cedar which is in full pollination right now. No wonder he's miserable. Our doctor friend has him on Allegra, Flonase, and a prescription eye drop. We are very blessed. I don't know how our Pioneer ancestors did it on the plains if they had allergies.

January 14- I am grateful that I know how to play the piano. I go to that as a solice sometimes when my boys are just out of control. It's very soothing to me!

January 11

I am behind by 3 posts. So here it goes.

January 8 - I am thankful that we are able to enjoy a sit down dinner and not have to make it or clean up. We went to a Chinese restaurant for dinner and it was pretty good.

January 9 - I am grateful for DS's dance teacher, Ms. Megan. DS has been in tap dance for the past fall, and he loves it. He was the only boy in his class, but it was fun to see what his part was in the dance. Very cute and very fun!

January 10- I am grateful for Stake Conference. Although I really didn't want to fight with the boys to be good, it was really good. The main message was Rescuing the one. I hope that I can help in that effort especially with one of my Mia Maids that doesn't come regularly.

January 11- I am grateful for friends that will cover for me when I'm not feeling up to going to music class. This morning I woke up with a headache, and actually I still have the headache. Timmy was also still pretty tired when he woke up this morning so we both took a nap this morning while Parker was at school.

January 7

Today I am thankful for my dear husband. Last night lovely Aunt Flo decided to come for the monthly visit at 2am. I was up for about 2 hours trying to fight off the pain. I even ended up in the bath for an hour it was that bad. I asked my DH at about 3:30 if he wouldn't mind helping me in the morning getting our son to school, and luckily his job allows for him to do that. He didn't go in until 11:15 or so. It was so nice to be able to sleep for longer and feel a little bit better, although I'm not feeling better right now.

My Calling

In my church, I have the wonderful opportunity to work with the Young Women. It is so fun to see what their personalities are and how they have so much fun! Tonight the leaders (8 of us) discussed the needs and the schedule that is coming up for the next 3 months, and we what we are doing. The leaders are such a fun group and it is great that all of our heads can come together as one and accomplish a lot. I'm grateful for my calling and that I get to teach the girls the gospel. It's such a testimony builder, even though I don't like to teach.
