I want to...
I want to not always be living in urgent mode. I want to go for a run. I want to get quality time with my kids. I want to have more grace and less frustration. I want to play games and dance and dance. I want to bake bread. I want to take a nap. I want to finish my laundry and whole bunch of other stuff on my to-do list. I want to let everything on my to-do list go. I want to sit in the sun. I want to eat cookies. I want to swim and and swim. I want to get my house clean. I want to remember what is important.

A thankful list just because
I reread a bunch of my posts tonight and found that they inspired me to make a list just because so here it goes.
Thankful for:
1. Being able to do my laundry. Hasn't been that easy for the last 2 years.
2. Silence. Also hasn't been that easy.
3. Grad school. The opportunity to do something I've longed for. I have to remember that.
4. Aidan being so excited about looking on the computer at Legos with Micah.
5. Playing the "balloon game" with the boys. Didn't know you could have so much fun for less than $0.10
6. The boys birthday celebrations and the reminder that they bring of my mom.
7. Getting around safe in the snow.
8. Boots that don't hurt my feet.
9. Coming in the house and having Jeremy rocking it with the boys on his own homework that he makes up for them.
10. Realizing that my attitude towards my students impacts the rest of the hour. Start on a high.
11. Getting through another chapter of Geometry.
12. Not having rose sales be as bad as I thought.
13. Making cheese sandwiches for dinner for lunches for the next day,
14. New jeans that are too big because I've already got in better shape.
15. A treadmill in the house. Seriously rocking.
16. Saying no to good so I have time for great.
17. Quiet time for everybody.
18. Dreaming of summer and not having to make lunches.
19. Micah having me go back out so he can yell surprise when I walk in the door.
20. Continuing to find stories that share who my mom was.
21. IKEA
22. Quiet. Did I mention that?
23. Having the boys in worship with us at church.
24. Life
25. Enjoying teaching today. Really just feeling it.
26. Learning from my mistakes.
27. Micah's snuggly blanket.
28. Slippers. A warm house. I can't imagine how people used to have to work so hard to stay warm.
