My head is spinning today with a lot of random thoughts. I think this is normal for most moms...or I'm trying to make myself feel better.
Sept 11th: Yeah, I know, its been a week but I'm a bad blogger friend and haven't blogged lately. I watched something that was just raw video on A&E. I believe it was called something like "Hotel 9-11". OH. MY. GOD. It brought that day back and then some. They showed a video where a guy was standing VERY close when the second plane hit. They showed video of the people jumping. They showed some of the firefighters walking to the WTC and realized that every one of them died that day. *tear* I couldn't help but just sit on the couch and cry. I can't imagine losing my husband or children or anyone like that. I DIDN'T lose anyone that day, but I still feel as a nation we lost a lot of our innocence that day. My heart still breaks for all those people.
Kids: The kids are good. Noah's getting his two year molars and screams like a banshee anytime I try to brush his teeth. He's also in the terrible twos. So far I think they've been fairly mild but the jury's still out on that one. I'm having a Early Intervention meeting tomorrow to have him evaluated for speech. I just don't think he's where he should be for his age. I may just be a crazy mom but I want him evaled either way. Eden's getting her bottom two teeth and has been for awhile now. I was hoping that they would pop through before our trip to Ohio but I'm thinking they're still a ways off. I really hope our trip isn't fully of whiny baby!
Trip: We're leaving Sept 28th for OHIO!! The first week we'll be visiting my parents and David's mom and all our friends. The second week David will be in Chicago and I'll be staying at my moms house just for the extra help. I can not wait to see everyone and get away for a little while. David's moms house is very cluttered so we opted to stay at a hotel for a few days and she's upset with us. We're staying for the most part with my mom and will maybe venture down to my dads if I think the kids will cooperate. I've come to the realization that everyone is going to have to just chill out and understand that we've got two VERY small children that get into everything and are already going to be out of their element. I'd rather not be moving around the two whole weeks we're there.
I've puttered out...maybe more later.

Thankful Thursday...
Its another Thankful Thursday and I've been slacking! I'm back today though...
38. I'm thankful for the cool spell we've had and not having to run the A/C much. This time last year we were in Houston and it was still REALLY warm. Our electric bill averaged about $300.00 a month down there. I'm thankful its been averaging around $180 here!
39. I'm thankful I got to spend time in the wound care center yesterday. I got to see some really bad wounds and it will help me better serve the people I see when I go out into the community. I'm thankful FOR the wound center for those people. Some of the before and after pictures are AMAZING!
40. I'm thankful for my BEAUTIFUL children. I know I've used this before but I'm thankful EVERY day for them. They're healthy and happy and so much fun.
41. I'm thankful for finding the church we found.
42. I'm thankful the church was able to find a building and that this sunday will be the last week we're meeting in the high school.
43. I'm thankful that David was able to switch BACK his trip to chicago so I could stay in Ohio with my family while he's gone. The extra help and company is going to be awesome. I can't wait to see all my friends and family while we're there for 2 WEEKS! :)
44. I'm thankful that I THINK I see the light at the end of the tunnel and I think we'll be getting caught up on bills within the next month or two.
45. I'm thankful that I've started back on WeightWatchers and I've gotten back into the grove of it. This time next year I will be at LEAST 50lbs lighter.
46. I'm thankful that my Uncle Tom will be in Ohio when I am so I can see him. He lives in California and I only get to see him every few years. The last time I saw him was at my uncles funeral in the beginning of 2008.
47. I'm thankful for the house we're renting. It's PLENTY of space and it has a playroom for the kids. They each have their own rooms and they're both pretty big. We've come a long way from where we lived in Northwood. We then lived in a 800 square foot house and when we had Noah it was pretty cramped. We're now living in 2,000 square feet. OVER DOUBLE! It's a bear to clean sometimes but I love that we have room!
Your turn!
