November 5

Today the dog spilled the cereal bowl of milk (he grabs it off the table himself), it was cooler than usual outside, the van sliding door stopped working right, breakfast was at 10, the two year old fell asleep in the van at noon, dealt some more with the "service plan" for the school system, Vision seemed to drag on forever, enjoyed the company of grumpy non-nappers who were disappointed we weren't going to grandma's house, and attempted to deal with final preperations for a birthday party.

And I would love to say I did so gracefully, and never lost a beat. However, it once again just proves that I am not perfect and that I, like everyone else, am very much in need of a savior. For that I am thankful.

In all those things I listed above, there is potiential to wear down one's soul.... but there is also the amazing blessings in each of them too.... I mean, I have a happy healthy dog that spills the milk, I have a jacket to wear while outside, I have a door on the van that can stop working right, breakfast was served.... and that God gave me a beautiful girl five years ago tomorrow for which I get the privledge to plan a party for.
