*Jim being home this evening. He has been so busy with the electrical work at the house and is rushing to get it done.
*antibiotics--Gracie has strep for the third time this year.
*that the doctor is only a short distance away and not 45 minutes like when we lived in Sahuarita
*books on CD
*the library
*the smell of pies baking in the oven
*a day at home with the girls (except for the part when I was at the doctor with Gracie)
*that we have freedom to homeschool in our country (even if we aren't currently doing it)
*the girls' bedtime
*that I am considering homeschooling again next year (and EpiKardia and how much I love their book lists)
*booklists
*footed pajamas in grown-up sizes
*siding being put on our house
*Jimmy Fallon. He makes me laugh.
*that Jim is trying out "Love" as a nickname for me instead of his usual nicknames (you don't want to know, but if you know Jim, you can imagine)
*Wienie Wednesday (in lieu of Madelyn's idea of Frankie Friday, her clever name for when we have hotdogs for supper, the Angus kind with no nitrates because it makes me feel better)
*starbursts
*m&m's (and that Aubrey calls them dimmy-dims)
*Sanctus Real
*Gilmore Girls
*God and Jesus and the hope of Heaven
*my crockpot
*our church and pastor and his teaching
*that Jim introduced me to R.C. Sproul
*that Gracie repents quicker and is logical and no longer throws massive fits (but Madelyn and Aubrey have taken her place)
*a friend who understands and is real (not real as in the opposite of imaginary, but real as in doesn't pretend to be something other than who she really is)
*pictures of my girls (even if most of them are on my phone these days)
*the way my girls inspire me
*my egg-shaped chapstick
