Thursday's Thankful Things

Over the weekend we developed a very bad leak in one of our tires. On Monday evening I had to fill the tire immediately before leaving for a soccer game, and then pump it up again with a portable compressor after the game before heading home, and then stop at a gas station to fill it up when we were halfway home. That shows you how quickly the air was leaking out. Yesterday I filled the tire up and drove directly to the tire shop, where it was nearly flat by the time I got there. Because my incredibly handsome and smart and forward thinking (and did I already say handsome?) husband bought tire insurance for all 4 tires last summer, even though we only actually purchased one brand new one, we were able to get a new tire for FREE!! Thank you, Lord.

Our home equity line of credit was able to be successfully transferred to a traditional loan before its maturity date this month. Since we were not in a position to pay it off at maturity, we could have potentially lost our home over this. Thank you, Lord.

We had a really good day of school yesterday, despite doing writing at the tire store, and reading in the copy room at church where I was making copies of things for REAL moms. Thank you, Lord.

Soccer season is almost over!! Thank you, Lord.

Our 10 and 9 year old boys have really LOVED soccer this fall and it has helped them in ways that I did not expect. Thank you, Lord.

We have been staying nice and warm even without a furnace. Thank you, Lord.

Our 13 year old minivan is still running. Thank you, Lord.

My husband has a job. Thank you, Lord.

We also did school this month in a tire store. I'm the flat tire queen.
