This post is sponsored by the word "grumpy."
This hasn't been my week. It vacillated back-and-forth between physical exhaustion and emotional exhaustion. I've felt a little Jekyll and Hyde, if you want to know the truth.
Jekyll: Over the weekend, I was talking with a friend about her dreams and goals, and she was telling me where God was leading her. As she shared, I was taunted with whispers of "you could never do that,"and "she's more talented," and "you might as well give up on your dreams now."
Hyde: Saturday night, Paxton threw up three times in the car on the way home from dinner. Which kept me home from church on Sunday.
Jekyll: The next day, something happened that really hurt my feelings (because I'm too sensitive), which led to more whispers.
Hyde: Paxton was up from 11 pm -4 am on Monday night. Which kept me home from my plans on Tuesday.
Jekyll: Another something happened that hurt my feelings, which led to even more whispers. (And at this point I'm wondering I'm simply suffering from a good old-fashioned case of PMS.)
Hyde: Greg came home with a cold-turned-sinus infection and fever.
Welcome to my Pity Party. Would you like a slice of cake? We also have a goodie bag for you to take home. It includes Midol, massive amounts of chocolate and a mirror with two faces.
What I'm thankful for this week:
1. Breathe Right Strips. They are so very, very sexy. The perfect accessory to my Paul Frank flannel PJ pants and oversized hooded sweatshirt for bed. However...never, ever, ever have I ever slept as good as I sleep now using these strips. I now sleep like a normal person. And I don't wake up feeling like I licked up sawdust off the floor. And I wake up without a headache. If you know anything about me, you know how much I love sleep. Healthy, proper sleep is icing on the bed.
2. Coffee. Because Paxton was up Monday night. And my Breathe Right strips alone couldn't help me through that.
3. 24 Hours. Because it's at this time tomorrow I'll be in the midst of a long, long, LONG overdue hair appointment. Goodbye Amanda Woodward roots, circa Melrose. It's been real. (Real ugly!)
4. Having a Puppy. Listen. All the people that tell you having a puppy is just like having a baby are DEAD WRONG. I won't even begin to pretend they are close to the same thing, because they are not the same AT ALL. Why? Because after two weeks, my dog sleeps through the night. And I remember quite vividly (and still with some lingering resentment), that it took both my kids about four months to accomplish that feat. And I don't have to change his diapers. And he doesn't cry for no reason. And he feeds himself. And entertains himself. So while there are a separate set of frustrations (and joys!), I'm grateful for just puppy-hood right now.
5. A Happy Progress Report. We had Jaana's parent-teacher meeting yesterday where we reviewed her progress thus far this quarter. Her grades are great, and her behavior is wonderful. Greg, the ever-focused leadership guru, basically interrupted the teacher and one point, and said (in so many words), "Yeah, yeah…she has good grades. That's all well and good. But is she a good leader?!" And he was thrilled to hear that yes, she's a good leader. He walked away a happy daddy.
6. AZUR Jazz. It's a French radio station I listen to on iTunes. And when they do announcements and updates in French, je fonds comme le beurre sur un croissant (translation: I melt like butter on a croissant). (And one of these days, I'll be able to say that without using my translation app.)
7. Open Sunroof. We had some uncharacteristically warm weather this week (to which Jaana and I grumbled since we're dying for enough snow to go sledding). But, it was quite nice to open the sunroof and drive with the music loud and the sun shining on our faces. Yes, it was nice indeed.
8. Small Group. I'm very much enjoying our small group. We meet twice a month, and the group consists of couples from different seasons and walks. But it's fun and we're learning a lot from each other. And growing closer together. It's a pretty special little group.
9. Girl's Weekend. There's this little group of five of us that used to be tight-knit. We'd get together for fun, for prayer, for support. Then one of us moved to Nashville (ahem-Supa C) and then another of us moved to North Carolina (ahem-me), and life interrupted and we haven't seen each other all together in years. But just this week, we finally confirmed a girl's weekend together! It's not until June, but I'm very (VERY) excited about it, and wish it were sooner. I miss them all like crazy, and miss our times together even more.
10. More Writing. I've recently had the opportunity to do more writing, which has been a much-needed outlet for me. It's really pumping my creative juices and helping me resolve things internally. It's so funny how the more you do something, the more you want to do it. Unless it's cleaning or cooking or laundry. You know.
Your turn! Let me know what you're thankful for this week and share the love. Leave a comment below or link up with Candra. It'll ease your PMS symptoms and help you breathe better at night. For shizzle.

Guest Blogging
Last Sunday was the first of a new sermon series by Pastor Gary Hewins at our church. The series is called "Identity Theft," and it's going to be 12 weeks of discovering your identity in Christ, and not letting the enemy steal who we were created to be.
As part of the series, I'm going to be blogging on our church's website about each week's individual sermon. My post on the first sermon, "We Are God's Workmanship,"can be found here.
In case you're interested in checking it out, I'll let you know each week when the post it up on the church site (www.CBChighlands.com). Feel free to browse around the church site - we have sermon downloads and live stream for our services, which I personally think are amazing. (No bias here.) And since we're all new-fangled and such, we even have our own app! Just search "Community Bible Church Highlands" in the App Store and download for free.
I'll let you know each week as the post is up - if you're interested in checking it out. I'm very excited to be a part of this 12-week journey, and am praying that my insecurities will be broken by the end of this.
Thanks for checking it out - and here's to finding our true identity in Christ alone!

Thanksday #49
I might have to officially move Thanksdays from Thursday to Friday. Would y'all be okay with that? I used to spend Thursdays alone at the coffee shop while Paxton was in MMO and Jaana was at school. Which meant I was alone and could just write. Now (gloriously and praise Jesus), Greg and I are spending those mornings together for date time. Not as sexy as a fancy Friday night out, but it's consistent and has been the highlight of my week.
Regardless, by the time our date mornings are over I pick up Paxton. Then get him home for a nap. Then take out Luke, who's been in the crate for a few hours. Then sit down to check on email and take care of a few work things. Then wake up Paxton to go pick up Jaana from school. Then stop at Ingles because I simply can't avoid the grocery store every.single.day. When we get home, we scoop up Luke to take him to The Meadow and run him like crazy since he had been in the crate for another our or so. After that, it's time for homework, dinner, baths, bedtime.
Then I crash on the couch with a cup of tea and try to stay awake for Up All Night, my current, most fabulous, most favorite show. (As a side note, I really want Christina Applegate's character to be my BFF.)
And that, my friends, is more information than you ever cared to know about my Thursdays.
Hopefully you're still there and haven't nodded off on your keyboard. The drool will kill your mother board.
My thankfuls for this week:
1. Date Mornings with Greg.
2. The Meadow. The Meadow is this huge clearing that was specifically designed to be a "backyard" for the neighborhood. It has streams, small ponds, picnic tables and tons of flat lands to run amok in. We've been taking Luke there regularly, and he absolutely loves it. I also bought a Chuckit this week (the doggie tennis ball launcher) and Luke has gone ballistic (pun intended) chasing that thing down. The Meadow is awesome. The kids love it, Luke loves it, I love it. And it'll be a perfect way to spend summer afternoons having lunch and playing in the streams.
3. Daniel Fast. Our church is smack-dab in the middle of a Daniel Fast, and have another week or so to go. At first, I balked: no meat! no dairy! no coffee! no fried foods! no sugar! But I soon made one quick heathenistic adjustment to the diet (guess which one), and now I'm loving the fast. Yes, I miss burgers and fries (I'm narrowing down your guesses here). But I do get to have hummus, which is now its own food group in our house. But really, I feel fantastic. I haven't needed a nap yet (even on Sunday, which is HUGE). I'm sleeping amazing at night. I have energy all day and don't feel bloated and gross after I eat. My skin has a new glow to it (which might be because of my new rejuvenating moisturizer). And I'm actually productive during the day (gasp! shock! awe!) Oh yeah, and the spiritual benefits have been ah-mazing.
4. A Calmer Pup. We finally got smart and realized our Luke needed some real training beyond getting him housebroken. We had (unknowingly) allowed him to be pack leader. To prevent ourselves being on an episode of The Dog Whisperer (you know…the paparazzi), we decided it was time to get serious. On Monday I decided I'd teach him to sit. 10 minutes later, he mastered it. Since then, between Greg and I, he's walking on a leash beautifully, sitting, staying and coming on command. And now that he doesn't have to bear the burden of being pack leader when he really didn't want to be one, he's finally calm and submissive. If we had a DVD of Doggie Einsteins he'd probably play a Beethoven score on command, too. Yes, I'm becoming that person.
5. Visits from Friends. Last weekend, our good friends Schtefanya and The Camera Man (names changed to protect the innocent) came to visit, and it was such a great time. We hung out, we had lunch, we shopped, we played. I hadn't seen them in ages. And since Schtefanya is pregnant, it was a good immersion into the chaos of what having children looks like. Just a little something for them to look forward to. (Maniacal laugh...maniacal laugh.)
6. Speaking of Maniacal Laugh. Did anyone see The Muppets? I never mentioned this, I don't think. But I AH-DORED the movie. In fact, I laughed harder than Jaana. In another fact, I didn't feel the freedom to laugh at first, because two 20 year-old guys that looked like Edward Cullen were sitting next to me, and I didn't want to look the Old Mom Fool. But at their first chuckle, I was free to let loose. (And the fact I hadn't seen a movie in months I'm sure did not factor into my glee one bit.)
7. Focus on the Family App. I have always, always been a big fan of the Focus on the Family daily broadcast. But it's hard to find on the stations up here. I discovered an app for it awhile back, and eagerly each morning play the day's broadcast when driving Jaana to school. I love the encouraging discussions, and it helps lay some godly foundation for Jaana, too.
8. My Precious Little Family. I know I frequently get on these little emotional kicks about my family. But really, I've had quite a few times this week where I'm just so full of joy. I adore my husband, my kids make me laugh every day, and our sweet puppy just makes it all feel so complete. I'm happy.
9. Candles and Flashlights. Our power went out this week during a rainstorm. You never appreciate these things more than if you live in the middle of nowhere, and it's pitch-black at night when the power is out. No streetlights, people. Not a one. (I was also grateful for my book light so I could read while sitting in the dark.)
10. Clearance Items. A cute home store in town had some adorable little ceramic pots on clearance for just $2, so I bought eight of them. They are a perfect fit for the short top shelf of the built-ins, which have needed something but I didn't want too much. Now, let me say…I'm not happy with what I've got going on on the rest of the shelves…I just haven't figured it out yet. And yes, I need to paint the back walls there. But in the meantime, the pots are a perfect fit and add just enough to the shelves. (And if you're dying of curiosity, the show on the TV is Tabitha's Salon Takeover. Luh-uv it.)
Your turn! Let me know what you're thankful for this week and share the love. Leave a comment below or link up with Candra. It'll bring as much pleasure to you as a big ol' burger and fries (with a fried green tomato…and pimento cheese…and applewood smoked bacon). Yep, for sure. It will.

Galatians 6:2 (Update)
First of all, y'all are awesome for your faithfulness to check in every Monday to pray over the very real and very big needs of this blog community. Due to the high volume of requests, and the sometimes urgent need of them, I've decided to created a dedicated page specifically to prayer requests. You can find it here (or see the "Prayer Requests" tab at the top of the page).
The requests on this page will be updated in real time as they come in, so any time of the day or week you want to check on requests and pray for them, just head on over and do your thang.
I pray God bless you all a hundred-fold for your dedication and sincerity in bearing one another's burdens.

Thanksday #48
Santa brought a puppy for Christmas. Did you know that? His name is Luke, and he's precious. He's a puppy…so you know, he's got some energy. But overall he's a pretty mellow, calm and low-key dog. It's more work than I expected -- this puppy-ness stuff -- but fortunately dogs grow and mature at warp speed so it's not like it'll last forever.
So it's been awhile since I've Thanksday'd. I should call this post Bloggy Resurrection. It's not for lack of thankfulness, for sure. It's just been this DOG. I suddenly have so much less free time -- the precious two hours Paxton's napping is now full of feeding the dog lunch, taking him out for a walk, watching he doesn't chew up my rugs or pee in the house…so my computer time has been cut waaaaaay down. Of course, I know this is temporary. But to say it's been an adjustment is like saying I drink a little bit of coffee.
As we've spent these past few weeks adjusting to a new addition to the family, I've got things to be thankful for I hadn't expected. And if a lot of them revolve around the dog, I'm sorry.
(And a lot of them revolve around the dog.)
(So I'm sorry.)
Things I'm thankful for this week and new year:
1. Luke. Honestly, I had my first meltdown of frustration with the dog today. But really, I do love him. I just didn't like him so much this morning. But then I look at this face, and how can I not melt?
2. Tall and Skinny Shadows. I love anything that makes me look tall and skinny. And like I'm wearing bellbottoms. Stayin' alive, people. Stayin' alive.
3. Mandatory Fresh Air and Exercise. The dog, you know. I HAVE to take him out to walk even if it's freezing cold and even if I really, REALLY don't want to. And once I'm out there, I'm so grateful for the sunshine, the fresh air and the activity. Once he gets really leash trained well, I can't wait to take him running.
3. Text Message Conversations That Make Me Cry With Laughter. I have a friend that used to say "high kicks!" and then would high kick with any exciting news or general happiness. And she'd make you do it too. Over the years the high kicks have died down (low kicks, you could say), but recently via text she started leaving smiley face emoticons that have two parentheses -- a Double Chin Grin, it seems.
During a recent text conversation, I asked her about the Double Chin Grin, and she replied that they were "Super Smiles."
To which I retorted, "Is this the high kicks of emoticons?"
And both of us, hours apart and only via text message, were at home on our couches dying laughing with tears streaming down our faces.
Even as I type this now, I'm realizing it's not that funny. But at the moment, I couldn't contain it and even got the hiccups.
Guess you had to be there.
4. Glorious Sunrises. Morning walks have been so calming and peaceful, and a great way to start the day. We have an amazing neighborhood full of natural beauty and tons of places to explore. And some phenomenal views of the sunrise. There's a farm nearby, and on our morning walks I get to hear the birds singing, the donkeys braying, the bull snorting and the llamas llama-ing (what do llamas do?). It's lovely, dah-ling. Just lovely.
5. Jesus. Something reminded me recently of how easy it is to say you believe in God…but how the name of Jesus can be left out of the equation entirely. It made me wonder if that grieves the Father, and if so, how much? And I was convicted that I don't do a good enough job giving praise and honor to the Son, to Christ…and don't proclaim enough that it's all because of Jesus, and for Jesus, and through Jesus, and in Jesus. There's probably a deeper post coming about this. Until then, it's sufficient to say I'm thankful for Him. Without Him, I'd be nothing.
6. The Most Perfect Surprise Christmas Gift that Came Directly from My Favorite Things Post. And most grateful to the thoughtful friend who gave it. Incredible.
7. These Two. They make me laugh so hard. And they adore each other. Only Jaana would climb into a leafless tree and call it a fort, and only Paxton would risk poking his eye out to follow her in there.
8. Snow Days. It's snowing. Right now...as you read! There was a snow day last Tuesday; then it jumped up to 60-degrees. And now it's snowing again. Call me crazy, but if it's mid-January, it should be snowing. And never over 40-degrees. I love it.
9. KPLU. The jazz station from Pacific Lutheran University in Washington State. I adored this station growing up, and just found they have an app. And now I can listen anytime, anywhere. And the traffic and weather updates from home make me happy. The only thing that would be better is finding a WKRP app so I could listen to Venus Flytrap late night.
10. iPhone Reminders. Or as Jaana calls them, "ramadars." Back in my BlackBerry days (BiP, as I call it), I used to always put tasks on my calendar so I could have the alarm pop up to remind me of my things to do. But hello? A cluttered and full calendar freaks me out. It's pure genius that the iPhone has reminders. GEN-IUS.
Your turn! Let me know what you're thankful for this week and share the love. Leave a comment below or link up with Candra. It'll keep you from yelling in frustration when your dog pees in the house.
Not that I have any experience with that.
(Please tell me it doesn't last forever.)
