that Gary did GREAT on his GMAT!!!
that I decided to turn off the laptop all day long... makes for being present for my boys much easier!
that Joshua and Grant both had great naps today.
that I have great teammates to call & make sure we survived the day :)
for Chizito kisses.
that the boys have school tomorrow!
for the opportunity to share with others!
for infant Tylenol for teething babies!
the possibility of a nap tomorrow!
that we are on the downhill slope of daddy's three weeks away!

Thankful... day 10
Tonight I'm thankful...
that we've almost hit the halfway mark!
that I can usually tickle Grant out of any screaming tantrum he's throwing :)
for canned tuna.
the promise of Brazil.
for the quiet mornings while boys are in school.
that I finished my study in time to lead Bible study tonight (even though no one showed)
for the visit time I got with Katie and Liz when no one showed ;)
that I got to chat with Jen.
that the day is over!

Thankful... day 9
Tonight I'm thankful...
that the boys had another great day at school.
that I didn't kill one of my children today despite the fact that Grant and Joshua didn't nap and lost it (totally lost it) at the same time, crying at me for an hour b/c I couldn't hold them on my lap at the same time...
for red painted toe nails, trimmed cuticles and tweezed eyebrows.
for finishing the week 5 study of our Beth Moore bible study (especially since I'm facilitating the study tomorrow night)
for Nathan's little fingers interwined with mine as I went back in after putting Joshua to bed (for the second time) to say I was sorry for being so grumpy today.
for forgiveness from my children.

Thankful... day 8
Tonight I'm thankful for...
our permanent visas (after taking some newbies to start their one-year visa process I was reminded just how thankful I am that we're through with the process)
spaghetti sauce out of a jar.
a great day at their new school for the boys!
naked booties running down the hall for bathtime :)
Grant deciding that rather than talking today he'd just growl all day long :)
the threat of the spank spoon, that apparently was scary enough yesterday that we didn't actually have to use it today!
strawberry peach frozens (like a frozen fresh fruit smoothie)
the promise of an hour to myself tomorrow for a manicure/pedicure!

Thankful... day 7
Tonight I'm thankful for...
the fact that I got myself, Nathan, Grant and Joshua, bathed, dressed, fed and to church before singing began (and without househelp thank you very much)!
Bolivian sisters at church who took care of Joshua all through service so I could tend to the older two hooligans.
hearing Nathan and Grant giggling with each other as I headed up the hall after putting Joshua to sleep.
the spank spoon.
long hugs and talks after the spank spoon.
a fresh pitcher of Kool-aid.
Joshua enjoying sitting in his Bumbo and playing (b/c at least one kid's going to get their money's worth out of it).
a nap (yeah you read that right!)
nickjr.com that allowed me to have said nap (while Nathan played and his brothers napped).
the end of my first day without househelp since Gary left.
the boys first day of school tomorrow!
