It's a New Day!

Praise God...His mercies are new every morning!

It sure was fun getting 60 friendly comments the other day. Even better than that is to get 9 encouraging comments from the best blogging buddies in the blogosphere! You ladies are fabulous! :)

My evening got worse

• burning bacon
• filling the house with smoke
• setting off all the smoke alarms
• forgetting to call my sister on her 30th b-day
• spilling milk all over myself & my couch

Before it got better

• getting the refrigerator cleaned out
• discovering that it was really Vanilla Caramel and not Hazelnut that had spilled, which made me so happy because Hazelnut is my favorite, and I was afraid I would never enjoy it again since the smell made me so sick!
• the girls finally finished cleaning their room!!!!
• letting them stay up late to watch Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? and Don't Forget the Lyrics
• having them put away the folded laundry with NO COMPLAINING!!!!
• hearing the girls say their bedtime prayers
• getting a reminder phone call from my other sister to call my b-day sister (in South Dakota)
• getting the girls out of bed and singing Happy Birthday on speaker phone
• putting the girls back to bed with NO COMPLAINING
• eating Oreos (only 3, not the whole bag!) while staying up past 1am watching a chick flick
• staying up until 2am on the computer reading some posts (here & here) that I really needed to read
• sleeping in until 11:30am this morning! :)

It's about to get even better, because Jill is on her way (with her 4 kids), and we get to have a big sleepover tonight! :)

I pray you all have a great weekend! Thanks again for your encouragement!

I love you much!

Grace and Peace,

Angel
