How's about a little Grace?

So, while it's not 5 things, it's one really funny thing that made me very very happy to have a special kid.

We ate at a friend's house the other night. They served Rice and Beans as well as pork steak of one part or another of some poor pig's shoulder. After the meal, I asked the lady of the house what kind of beans she used. "Are they just red beans?" "No," she replied, "they're pinto beans, I believe." Middle Mann, sitting quietly across the table piped up and said, "Pinto, huh? I thought they were Porkn!"

Wait! I think that is 5 things!!!

1. Food I didn't have to prepare.

2. Friends with gracious, sharing hearts.

3. Relationship time after a meal with talking in real sentences.

4. My Middle Mann

5. Beans!!!!!!!! Even if they're not pork n beans

More grace

1. Excitement to get back to my workouts

2. T-shirts that don't mind tears and snot

3. Friends that show up completely unexpectedly

4. 12 hour Sudafed and CVS being open late

5. Puppy kisses

Day 3?

I pay no mind to your Julien calendar!! Today is day 3. Love it or leave it. It's my blog and I'll count how ever I want to.

1. Loose buttons
2. Reverse in a manual transmission car
3. Fridays!!!
4. Awesome friends
5. Strong hands that strum my sore muscles

day 2

• Squatting 5 lbs more than my body weight and the endorphins this little activity affords my brain.
• Heat packs and warm water that help to ease my muscles and lubricate my insides.
• Carmex - I'm using it a bit oddly, but it's really doing the trick on my new heel cracks
• Clean boys that bathe themselves
• Nearly normal poop - One day, it'll be 100% normal again and I'll be a happy girl with happy insides.

Grace - 365

The idea here is to post 5 things every day that have graced your life. Hmm...I didn't exactly ROCK NaBloPoMo, but I'm willing to have at least the start of an idea of something to post. I hope that at some point, duplicates are acceptable. Well, I'm the boss of this blog, so for me, they are. I'll try to make sure and put the badge up whenever it's one of these here, qualifying posts.

1. Sleep. Sometimes, it's hard to come by. Sometimes, it's available in abundance. I love it no matter the mechanism required for me to obtain some.

2. The soft snuggly skin on Mini's neck when he's asleep next to me.

3. Getting all my laundry done - washed, dried, folded, and put away - in one unexpected evening.

4. Grammar. 'nuf sed.

5. My son's teachers who encourage me to believe that someday, he just might grow to be a good, albeit sensitive, man.
