It's the weekend and I've been lazy, so I'll give you 10 tonight...

1. I am thankful for the beautiful weather we have had this weekend. I've enjoyed the sun and the warmth. The kids and I enjoyed dinner outside Friday and Saturday and it was lovely.
2. I'm thankful for my Fast Sunday experience. It's been a while and I actually took time to prepare and ponder. I didn't feel hungry like I often do and made it until dinner. I feel recharged and strengthened.
3. I'm grateful for my husband for taking the kids to his parents tonight while I stayed home...alone. I sat on the couch for about 3 hours, ate ice cream, and enjoyed some alone time. It was a much needed little break.
4. I'm grateful for the two littles' hugs and kisses. Lately, they've both been snotty kisses, but I still love them. They make me feel special and like I'm the best in the world, when most often I probably am not.
5. I'm thankful for a rare morning nap I took with Ben. We snuggled while Lana slept and Erich built a city out of blocks. The fan was on low and the sheets were cool and it was perfect...until a text message woke me up.
6. I am SO thankful for the words of President Monson. Today in YW we read and discussed a talk called "Believe, Obey, and Endure." The message was mostly for young girls, but so many of it can be applied to my life.
7. I'm grateful that tomorrow my students begin taking the last part of the end of year SAGE test. It means two things 1)The school year is wrapping up and 2)I can do something different and fun after and enjoy the last few weeks with students, most of whom I really have enjoyed this year.
8. I'm thankful for grocery shopping as a family. I hate grocery shopping. But when Ben goes with me, it's not so bad. And for some reason, the kids actually stay in the car cart for him.
9. I'm grateful for Dr. Pepper 10. I've got this really bad addiction to Dr. Pepper. I've tried keeping it to only one glass or can a day and sometime that is the only thing that gets me through.
10. I'm thankful for my YW presidency...their love, support, and service. I love each of them and am glad that I don't have to do it alone!

Happy new week!
