Today.... I am taking my girls swimming at a church member's house. We are SO looking forward to the fun and the fellowship. They with the other kids and me with other moms! And since the temp. here is going to be almost 100 degrees - it is the best way to try and "beat the heat".
Today....I am proud to announce that our youngest has FINALLY given up her passy. This was difficult for her. She loved her passy and spends her time waffling between being a "bid gul" (big girl) and "I not a bid gul" when she wants her passy. But, we have successfully made it through 4 nights and 3 naps WITHOUT the passy! I'm so proud of her -- now if we can just get the potty training with such ease!
Today....I am thankful to my Lord for the day ahead of me. For the opportunity to live it for HIM and be His light in this world. I pray that I remain mindful of this as the day continues.
Today.....I am thankful for the 4 beds that need new sheets because Tuesday's are our "bed stripping day" as my girls call it. Thankful because it is a reminder that I have been blessed with a husband and 3 sweet children who are all gifts from above. Hopefully I can remember that with I am struggling with the sheets and comforters on my girls beds that are against the wall. And I guess that I am going to try and be thankful the the two bathrooms that need to be cleaned and the floors that need to be mopped for the same reason......right?
Today...I am looking forward to the prospect of my first ever yoga class tonight. I've heard this is good for anxiety and I am hoping to get to go tonight.
Today...I am thankful for you all out there who are praying for my "fear" issues.....you don't know how much I appreciate your prayers!
Anyway - I hope you girls have a good Tuesday! I am now thinking this post is rather like Thankful Thursday a little early.....but I NEED to be thankful everyday so here it is anyway.
well done on the passy, she is such a big girl. love you always me
ReplyDeleteWay to go on the passy! But, potty training? I'm not so anxious to even begin that.
ReplyDeleteHave a good day at the pool, Mindy. And, yes, this is a Thankful TUESDAY post, but it never hurts to stop and give God praise.
I hope you guys are having a wonderful day at the pool!...and your right! everyday is a great day to be thankful!
ReplyDeleteYou are right! It sounded like Thankful Thursday, but you are right again...we all need to "think" thankful everyday! So proud of your big gul! That is quite an accomplishment. I remember what a difficult time we had with our youngest daughter....the thumb. Kind of hard to do away with the thumb!
ReplyDeleteI love that though.
Enjoyed reading your sweet thoughts of today!
Be blessed !!!!
Hi Mindy! What a lovely blog you have. I noticed in your bio that you love Chili's Chips and Salsa. I am an addict! Sometimes I try doing without them when I go to Chili's, but it's really hard...to me, the chips and salsa are a major part of the Chili's experience, even if I eat so much of them that I can't finish my entree. Sometimes I just CRAVE that salsa!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed visiting your blog!
