Day 77 - #365grateful
I'm in a funk lately and am having a heck of a time being grateful for new things each day, so I apologize for my lameness. But I AM grateful I had some time at work yesterday to go thru a pile of papers that I've had on my desk since October! Those two little piles are NOTHING compared to the mess that was there before!

I'm grateful I've grown up enough to not need to go to the bar on St. Patrick's Day and drink that cheap green beer. Instead I just make corned beef and Irish soda bread at home! :)

Days 62-69 - #365grateful
ACK! I'm so far behind! I'm still taking photos here and there and am grateful, but I've been busy and then I gave up electronic "screens" for Lent, so that kind of messed up this blog. I may have to make this blog an exception to the rule.
Here are the things I've been grateful for over the past week!
Monday, March 3 (Day 62)
Grateful that Kaitlyn and I got to spend some mom & daughter time before her music class on Monday. And she was definitely grateful for the warm brownie!
Tuesday, March 4 (Day 63)
I was so grateful for Kaitlyn's friend's mom. Tuesday, the mom agreed to help us out with childcare on Wednesday. The mom agreed to watch Kaitlyn in the morning before school so we didn't have to pay the school a crazy amount for 20 minutes of care. Photo below is Kaitlyn and the friend.
Wednesday, March 5 (Day 64)
Despite having THE worst view, I'm grateful I have a treadmill so I can get some half-marathon training in even when its bitterly cold outside.
Thursday, March 6 (Day 65)
Kaitlyn had her first orthodontist appointment on Thursday. It was just a consultation to discuss the game plan for her teeth over the next several years. I'm grateful that even though it was Kaitlyn's appointment, Dr. Christine Novak took the time to discuss the crowding I have in my lower teeth. I had braces TWICE on the bottom when I was young - once in 4th grade (with the top as well) and once in high school. I followed orders, wore my headgear and retainers and I still ended up with crowding. After finding out that Dr. Novak is the daughter of MY orthodontist (Dr. Smith of East Lansing), she explained the crowding is NOT my fault and really there isn't anything to do about it. So, I will live the rest of my days with some crowding on the bottom but faith that I did everything I was supposed to and the rest of my mouth looks great!
Friday, March 7 (Day 66)
Tim and I did not feel like cooking on Friday. So we're both grateful for Brody Cafeteria on MSU's campus. We had to hurry and grab our food because it was Spring Break and they were closing early, but we got all we needed, had great variety and didn't have to cook! (PS - if you're in the area and haven't been there before, GO!)
Saturday, March 8 (Day 67)
Sooooo grateful for naps. After my 5 mile run, I was tired!
Sunday, March 9 (Day 68)

I'm grateful for the Praise Team at my church! I really like singing and participating! As long as no one is disturbed by my voice, I may just continue this on forever! :)

Daylight savings stinks. I'm grateful for coffee today.

Day 61 - #365grateful
Today, I am grateful for our dog, Roxie. She was our first baby. She comforts us when we're sad. She protects the girls. She loves to play. She cuddles when I'm sleeping. She climbs in my lap and gives me the eye when I'm mad. She's loyal and loving and our family isnt complete wothout her.
Day 60 - #365grateful
Saturday, I was thankful for the movie Frozen! The girls have loved it and I have too. We now have the digital version and have watched it 4 times at home. The girls are having fun acting out all of the scenes and reciting all of the lines. This photo is Allison lifting my eyelid like Anna does to Elsa to ask "Do you want to build a snowman?"
Day 59 - #365grateful
Friday, I was grateful for fun family evenings together. The Oak Park YCare had a carnival and the kids had funplaying games and running around!
