1. My husband noticed my current computer is slowly dying the death that all computers must eventually die - so he bought me a new one. I am cautiously excited (I don't enjoy change); however, I am so grateful that my husband was thinking of me & "slaying my dragon". He is good guy.
2. A week of intense reading with my children. We had 2 books that were due at the library today, but still had halfway to go in both of them. So, we did marathon reading every day this week. It is not something we do very often but I really enjoy it. It is easy, comfortable and my preferred way to read a story!
3. We had a lot of rain this week. Since spending time in Arizona and seeing what a dry spring/summer did to the local farmers last summer, I appreciate a good rain. Actually, since I was a little girl living in Bellevue, Washington, I have always loved the rain. I have passed this love on to my children - they frequently go outside to play in the rain. So, mainly I am happy for the rain, but I am also grateful that when our basement flooded due to the rain that it was a small rain & nothing important was damaged. We have a lot of wet carpet - we have small heaters blowing on them, but nothing major damaged. I suppose I will have to worry about mold & mildew, but not sure what to do about it. Any ideas?
4. That I found a truly clever way to motivate my son in the reading area. I don't want to jinx myself because we will be starting this weekend, but Steve is 100% on board, Z is ecstatic to get going and I am happy because it helps put the responsibility squarely on Z's shoulders (where it belongs!).
5. For slowly making changes & improvements to organization of our home. About once a week, I pick an area that needs work - I still get a thrill seeing what I have already accomplished.
