For the last 4 nights I've been unable to go to sleep until after midnight (and only one of those was due to a crying 3-year-old). It's as if when I put my head on the pillow someone throws a handful of bouncy balls inside my brain, and they bounce around for hours, until I take a couple of Tylenol and they finally slow down. So last night I lay there thinking of additions to my "
happy list," which I suppose was my way of counting my blessings:
22. Playing in the rain
23. Flowers from my husband or kids--hand picked or store bought
24. Lightning bugs
25. New crayons, sharp yellow pencils, and smooth ball point pens
26. The deep, even breathing of my husband right before he starts to snore
27. Being remembered
28. Picking blackberries with my family, then making jelly with my Mom.
29. Ladies' Bible studies
30. Answered prayer (like our house renting!)
31. A good night's sleep

Hi Kecia,
John has been gone since Sunday (will be home this afternoon) and I've hardly slept all week. I just don't sleep well when he's gone. So I'm feelin' the lack of sleep right along with ya.
I'm so glad you found renters, and a house to buy in Magnolia. What did you decide about homeschooling??
Maybe you can squeeze in a nap today. I know I'm certainly going to try.
I love your happy list. I especially love the pictures of the jars of jelly.
I miss you. I am so looking forward to talking face to face next year!!!
I will try and post a picture of the Hello Kitty cake. I wrote you a LONG email last night and then I hit delete, twice, because I was so stinkin tired. Grrrr. Oh well....I'll write again soon.
Praying!
