On the "Family Front": Speaking of being thankful...my guys ROCKED in welcoming (officially) their little sister to the fold. Since DS 1 is living here, it's been fun to see them interact. DS 2 made two trips this week for the festivities! DS 3 helped LG put together the music playlist for her party...a very fun mix of tunes! And DS 4 helped immensely on the entertainment front...with our giant Wii set up at the party!
My Educational Journey: So thankful that week five is done! Three more weeks of this class and it's history! I am enjoying it, but boy is it tough to juggle it all!
My Running Notes: Speaking of juggling. Ran twice last week. It's my goal to get back into THAT swing this week. It is progress...just slower than I wanted. Carving out time is absolutely a challenge. I just don't have much to give. Or, like after the party when I COULD have run, I was EXHAUSTED and my feet hurt. Excuses, I know. Still very real for me.
What I'm Reading: Nothing except school books right now. UGH!
On my Mind: I am absolutely a control freak. I know it. Yesterday for LG's party, I found myself stressing (my family says it's my MO) in the prep portion. I was stressing over some of the guests. I was stressing about the tables being just so. I was stressing over the decor. Yet it all came out fine. Although I know things always work out...there are those moments of tension just before that happen for me. Here's my question: If we didn't preplan...and if someone wasn't trying to think of all the little things...would it all still be fine? Or is that a chicken and egg consideration? Either way, I know I need to calm down and know that all will be fine when we do these things!
Speaking of that...look how Sandy's daughter's wedding decor lit up the place:
Inspirational Quote or Thought for Today:
Love this quote I saw on LG's teacher's Facebook tonight: Be like a duck. Calm on the surface, but always paddling like the dickens underneath." (Caine)
Hmm...maybe I can apply that to my "On my Mind" stuff! And regardless how stirred up I get, I'm thankful that SHE'S OURS!

Congratulations to the family! How wonderful!
The event was perfect...and the stress didn't show as much as you might have thought...unless the "sweat" was the giveaway! :-)
We are so blessed to have AAN and "her" family as ours!! LY Guys! (Grandma) Carolyn
