As I sit here listening to some Crabb Family ol’ time music, I can’t help but reflect on the ‘worldly’ and spiritual things that I am utterly thankful.

1. My wonderful husband who graciously took his ‘time off’ this morning to adorn our living room with a spectacular ceiling fan. It is so comfortable in here sans A/C.
2. My adorable daughter who never ceases to amaze me with her giggles, smiles and ‘mummmms’.
3. My spunky dog who drives me bonkers and smells like a foot at this moment. Oh yes, I might add her footness is now on my couch.
4. Pantene Smooth shampoo– first time I splurged on a 5 dollar bottle of shampoo in years and my hair and self-image love it!
5. Pampers hotline– We purchased a large -144- case of diapers which were very defective. The left tab pulled from the baby stretch part. The kind woman is sending me coupons for my troubles.
6. Hubby’s iPod– I can totally ‘lounge around’ while running the vacuum and listen to my guilty pleasure– southern gospel.
7. The baby birds– It may sound silly but I enjoy watching a nest of baby birds who have called our awning home. After the death of the mama bird’s first set of babies, she laid a new set of eggs and is cautiously caring for her new hatchlings. It was utterly upsetting when I discovered her three little ones on the porch a month or so ago. It is a much more cheerful situation out there now!
8. Beautiful flowers– Since spring has arrived and is slowly waning, I am in love with the beautiful captivating flowers. Kyla and I walk around home and at grandma’s and take in the pinks, reds, and other colors and squeal in delight– okay, so maybe that’s Kyla!

Komet has adjusted so well to our house. She is completely housebroken, can sleep downstairs sans crate, and has not a touch of separation anxiety when we leave. God has been very good to our family with Komet and other little things that have been happening. I’ll go into more detail with that in a later post.

Kyla and I went grocery shopping today and the grand total was 40 dollars– that is all of the weekly/biweekly staples and 5 lb. of ground beef. Fresh Express and Dole ready-made salad mix is 2/$5.00 and F.E. has a coupon for $1.00 off 2 bags. Great deal! There weren’t any manager special salads though! Shucks.

Ah… I am totally frustrated with this huge ball of yarn mess that I have. I was crocheting a blanket doubly strand and it was too think. I don’t know the right way to unravel an afghan with double threads except to yank it out. So, yanking done, it’s a mess. I’ll figure it out. There’s no way I’m wasting 8 dollars worth of yarn! It’ll be finished by July! Now I’m on to another project to work on for November.

We welcome Miss Comet Komet to our family. She is a sweet 2.5 yo Beagle with a great disposition. She is actually upstairs now napping on my bed. She is very nice with Kyla and loves on me.  I am sure she’ll be just great with Kris. He misses her already since he had to work shortly after we picked her up.
