Busy but Thankful...

We are busy around here. We are suppose to close on our house December 1st. So that means we have 7 more days of living in our house (since we go back to Dallas for Thanksgiving). So, there is packing to be done. It was my week to make dessert for Community Group Wednesday. We had a play date yesterday, which I will tell you more about later. I made (with the help of my mom) & decorated a centerpiece for a table at our church's Christmas Gathering that took place last night and tonight. We have to repair some wood rot this weekend so the buyers can have it inspected again. We have a lot of family coming in for Abbie's baby dedication on Sunday!! And, I found out yesterday that the appraiser that came out on about 30 minutes notice Sunday to appraise my house has yet to turn the appraisal in. Good news...bad news...laziness...I don't know. So I am very worried that 1. the house didn't appraise 2. He won't get it turned in, in enough time for the loan to be processed before closing! It's stressing me out! A lot! But here are a few things that I am thankful for this week!

Wednesday:

Abbie decided that she was only going to take a 30 minute nap Wednesday afternoon. A 30 minute nap is not out of the ordinary buy normally after a little crying she goes back to sleep. No not Wednesday. The day she had to go to childcare at church that night because of community group. I always feel bad dropping her off anyway because I feel like she is the child that require all the attention & crys a lot, even though they tell me she does pretty well & plays a lot. I don't believe them. I have been in those rooms & no one wants to be the one to tell a parent "your child cried the whole time". But with hardly a nap that afternoon I thought for sure I was handing over a bear. But wen we picked her up they informed us she was awesome! She never cried & she played the whole time! And I quote "she was the best she has ever been"!! So I am thankful for that.

Thursday:

Ahhh....Eric got his new computer!! It came early Thursday morning! It is beautiful! If you don't know, his work computer crashed. To be more specific, the mother board (whatever that is) fried up. So, his computer that caused him much stress because the power cord didn't charge it so if it died good luck getting it back on! It crashed at any given moment loosing hours of work (because no one ever taught hubby to save as you go along)! It is a beautiful silver computer with all of the latest technology. As Eric was informed by the tech people at his headquarters..."your computer is ancient". It was 4 years old. But I guess that is "ancient" in computer times. So, we are back...operating on 2 computers again! I asked him to leave the new one when he went to work this morning...he laughed & said no. I said "but it works sooo good"!!!

We had a bad night of sleep last night so give me a little bit longer today to find something to be thankful for!
