1001-1009

1001. friends to remind me to be thankful
1002. i'm gonna say it again, not because i'm being braggy, but because i really am thankful to have a warm, crackling fire to look at right now while i type
1003. a mommy daughter date with hayleigh today. the best part....she held my hand the whole time we walked around the mall. i'll savor these years forever. 
1004. a mutual love for reading and books with hayleigh. the joy that comes with starting a new book. the smell of the pages. the hours of imagination. the satisfaction of finishing a good book.
1005. coaching hayleigh's basketball team. i actually signed us up 2 days late becuase i kept going back and forth on if we should do the winter season or not. finally i signed up. today we played (it was our 9th game). and for the FIRST time ever....we won!! it felt amazing. we do not stress that winning is important to the girls, but it sure does feel good to win once and a while! and hayleigh scored 8 of our 14 points. so i'm a pretty proud mom!
1006. (taken from facebook from a couple days ago) wake up today with a really sore throat. don't feel like I can get up. decide the kids will just have to be late to school. go back to sleep. wake up a couple hours later and my sister has come over, gotten my kids ready, and taken them to school. she has Leena with her and she left me home alone to sleep. love her!
1007. when i seek God He satifsfies my soul.
1008. thursday morning MAC. 
1009. taking the kids to Big Hero 6 at the theater. the excitement and popcorn.
