Me and Tommy and Alex --- right before bed... I am lying down looking at them at my feet. They are jumping on the bed and laughing. Alex grabs the ukilele and starts to play and sing.. and Tommy begins to dance. Total Bliss.

I got caught up today in garage sales....I have been trying very hard to de-clutter instead of get more stuff. So, I was with my brother and baby T, and we found one sale where there was a box of toys free... you know the box, full of all the little toys and nic nacs... but down at the bottom of the box was a whole bunch of different kinds of trains... including a Thomas the train. And seeing little T loves trains it was a gift....

How about you? What are you thankful for?

Wow, what a day...

I am thankful for my husband for not forcing me to go to the Church corn roast (and not only is it a church corn roast, but a chilliwack wide corn fest, I just happened to find out this week). I had a nice sleep followed by a mcmini pesto sandwich from McDonalds---I love pesto! And I love McDonalds...as you know. : )

and for T, my 2 year old, who always comes and sleeps beside me no matter what---thank goodness he loves me cuz the other boys are counting the days for school to start... I am going to miss them. I cringe when people make comments about school starting and they can't wait to get rid of their kids....not me.... I am so thankful for every minute I spend with them... and I wish school was not starting.

And for my oldest son J, who is extremly talented and creative. I am blown away by his thoughts and the way he writes his blog... love you J!

Well, I am thankful for this whole summer... usually I work the kids hard because of my teaching skills and make the do TONS of reading, math, etc. But this summer we just did one thing..

It was wonderful!

Today is my bf's birthday, Terri... I am so thankful for her friendship. Without her I don't know how much I would have learned in grad school....

scrambled eggs and tomatoes from my garden...

love from little boys ... and explainations for things I think are gross when we watch movies..."Don't worry mom, that is just jello..."

Another day to live and breathe and love....

that we are making an offer on our dream home... by the ocean with enough room for all of us...

I am holding my breath and I am so thankful we can do it....

And for Tommy who just was playing with a red felt pen trying his hand at drawing... and who is now sitting beside me leaning on my arm....

For a few more days of summer with the boys... I really do not want them to go back to school...

For Alex, who yesterday, when the boys ran up ahead of me, came back, took my hand and said, "I'll walk with you Mama, and I don't want to lose you ya know."

I had another interview...I am grateful now that I have had so many interviews that this last one I started my shower 20 minutes before I had to be there, and I still made it on time...I am grateful I feel that comfortable because interview #one I was there 2 hours before and studied for it the whole time...and now at #upteen million and one ...I am okay with me and interviews and realize the less uptight during the interview i am, the better it'll be...

Just wish that one place I really want to work would give me a call. I can put that out there, but in the meantime...

I am grateful for my little ones who make me laugh and smile...

and for our loan officer who actually made it happen for us in the US...

and for a few options....I have been praying they will work out...

and for good friends...I have been feeling really lonely lately... so thank you for the few good friends i have...

and for summer... I wish it would never end...

and for living 2 hours away from the ocean.
