Some of my favorite things.
1. Electricity. Something we take for granted...but yes..when I got the call we had it back...it was like hitting the lottery. So it is my up most favorite thing this past week.
2. Fancy Cakes by little Debbie. We ate 3 boxes this week. Snowed in can do this.
3. Coffee. I was unsure I would even get a cup on Day 1 of all of this. But Scott's Grandma had little coffee bags like tea bags and we boiled water and viola....this girl got a hot cup of coffee.
4. Quilts. They not only kept us warm...Scott's grandma gave us 3 she made and her mother made. This meant alot to us.
5. Little House on the Prairie books and DVD's. We read several of them and watched the first season when we got power at grandma's. Madison loved them so much.
Although the last week has taught me we all take simple things in life for granted...I will begin to appreciate these things and include them in daily prayer to thank God for them.
I cleaned all day yesterday. And have several errands to run today. Life is getting back to normal. Madison and Miller go to school on Monday. Miller starts pre school. One day a week.
My parents left this morning for a month in Florida. So life will be challenging for me. Scott is still working 12 hours days. But I'm thankful he has a job.
I have great friends who check on me and love me and I'm thankful for them as well.
This week God showed me it was okay to let go and be real. He showed me how to be a little patient when the time was right. And he taught me that life is not on my clock but on his. And I'm okay with that.
Enjoy your weekend. Scott is off on Sunday finally. So we will have some much needed family time.

I'm glad you're getting your regular life back again.
A day without coffee? I think I would have cried. ;v)
Hope you guys have a great Friday and a wonderful weekend. :)
LOVE Little Debbies -- and coffee -- an quilts (though I don't have any homemade ones -- so glad you do!) -- and Little House, both the books and DVDs
My family loves Little House also. They just don't make 'em like that anymore.
Have a great weekend!
I also really like what you said about being on the Lord's time....good thoughts....
I love quilts and have three that my grandmas made me. So glad you got some, too!
Enjoy your family time on Sunday. You guys have earned it!
