Happiness is......(& a Get it Done post)

The girls (Ana & one of her friends who spent the night) woke me up yesterday morning at 5:56AM & brought me breakfast in bed!  So very sweet of them! Omlette, fruit, yogurt, & a whey protein drink.  Then they made me coffee!

What makes it even funnier (because what parent LOVES being awakened before 6 am for b-fast on a Saturday) is that I have been up almost all night w/a coughing Ruthie.

Back to my "Get it Done" posts today.  Ruthie is still sick, so we stayed home from church.

Here's what I hope to accomplish today (Sunday).

Well, My Day Hasn't Gone the Way I Expected it to.....

Sprained ankle (?) for Ana.....throws all my plans out the window....

We are waiting on the x-ray results right now.

I needed this devotional I read this am:

When we are puzzled by delays and detours, let us think about the great purpose of life: to glorify God. The lessons He wants to teach us "in the wilderness" are priceless means of providing us with a song we could not otherwise have sung: "In Thy constant love Thou hast led the people!" (Ex 15:13).  ~Elizabeth Elliot

Get it Done......

I am a listmaker......

(Obviously, or this post wouldn't even be happening, lol!)

But, today, I realized I am turning my children into listmakers, too,

when I asked Ruthie to write something down for me!!!

She sounded it out,

& this was the result:

I think what she wrote was pretty clear, wasn't it?
