I am thankful my friend Crystal was able to be flexible and change our playdate until tomorrow. I can't wait until Alaina meets little Mei. I really think they will hit it off. Alaina has been trying to learn some sign so she can talk with her. It has also been nice to have a refresher in sign language.
I am thankful that when I took Alaina to the doctor this morning they confirmed that the rash around her nose is not fungal (Thank goodness!) but bacterial--most likely from a runny nose. I am frustrated that I was given another ointment when she already wipes it off, but I will continue to try to treat it. We are now putting Bandaids over the ointment, but it doesn't last long. UGH! I will be glad when it clears up.
I am thankful for the opportunity to run today--even if it was a lousy run. I loved walking Alaina to school today. Tonight will bring snow again, but this afternoon was wonderful.
I am thankful that even though Talia did not sleep at naptime, she stayed in her bed for the most part. I did give up trying to fill out my grad school application. I have to submit a resume and 1 page essay. UGH! I haven't touched my resume in 8 or 9 years. I am sure it is quite dusty!
I am thankful for good friends old and new. I loved touching base with a good friend in Michigan today. It is neat how you can pick up on relationships from long ago like you just left the other day. I miss many of my old friends and am thankful for technology. I am also getting better at reaching out to others. God has really helped me to open up more and make the time to reach out.
I am thankful the girls and I baked cookies together (gotta love cookies) and made Irish Brown Bread! YUM! It's always fun to bake together. We also practiced some of Alaina's dance together. She gave up after a short time, but I hope if I continue to encourage, she will succeed in learning it. (And if not--the recital will be all the more entertaining! :) )
I am thankful for Million Dollar Spaghetti--no complaints and all had clean plates! YUM! It's a successful meal every time!
I am thankful our paperwork is all complete for applying as Foster Parents. I will send it tomorrow. YEAH! From there we will begin the 3 month process to get licensed. I am excited and a bit nervous, but know that God has big plans for us.
Romans 8:28
For all things work together for good to them that love the Lord and are called according to his purpose.
