blessings

This weekend I have received so many blessings that I feel humbled.

Friday afternoon I went to Joann's in Raleigh to look for some sewing supplies for Tonya. (One of those things I have to do before the "hands-on, touch everything, whiny 'Me no shop. Home, Momma, home" boys arrive. When I went to check out, the lady in front of me turned around and asked,"Do you have any regular-priced items?" I was surprised, but not nodded yes. She handed me a coupon for 40% of a regular-priced item. It was expiring that day, and everything she was getting was already on sale. I was so excited!

I had reserved Sat afternoon to get things done around the house, but we ended up going to a funeral. I did manage to get some things done last night, but when we got to church today, I was reminded that we didn't have church tonight! I felt like God had handed me back all those hours I lost yesterday! I'm starting to feel as if just maybe I might have the most important things done before we leave Tues AM to get them.

Do you want a dinner brought to you for Tuesday night? If your morning is insane trying to get the kids settled, call me- I LOVE to cook!

:O/ We won't get home till 9pm or later; their flight arrives in Charlotte about 3:30, and they told us to allow 2 hours for them to clear customs (though I don't expect it to be that long... our three usually show up with 3 backpacks and one bag!)Bobby's eating supper with his Mom that night.

Wait...it's almost March?!?

 10 more months 'til Christmas. This last month has been an absolute blur. Cleaning at Mrs. Bryan's house, cleaning at our house, lo...
