Thankful - top ten today

My friend Jeri Dawn posted a little game and invited me to play along right here on my blog. I don't always play, but today I'm inclined. What ten things are you thankful for today? Feel free to play along.

Today I am thankful for:
  1. Multi-colored Duck Tape. (yep, that's the brand, Duck Tape) One color for each room. Reconstitute the old diaper boxes and others with the color that coordinates with the room it will go to. Thus making easier the unloading. Target, by the way, not Home Depot or Office Depot or Staples.
  2. Great big giant server boxes that fit 1/3 of the closet. And I've got 8 of them. Thanks honey.
  3. My mom visited. Yay! and she bought the girls 2 new movies. Yay for packing time. And she did some packing for us and also bought us lots of presents. We'd have been happy just to have her, and then she went and did nice stuff, too.
  4. My brand new super big truck of a mini van. (ok it's a 2002. That is brand new.)
  5. Elders Quorum movers.
  6. Did I mention the townhouse we're moving to? Ah, the space, the solitude, the all-ours-ness of it.
  7. My darling little snuggly growing beautiful girls.
  8. A good husband who makes it all possible and who makes it all fun.
  9. Otter Pops.
  10. My friends. One good friend is coming to help finish off the packing, at her request, while I take Lizzy to a doctor appointment. Yeah, without me. I mean, really? And another friend is coming on Saturday morning at 8:00 to pick up the girls, go play with them for the day, and then bring them back. Pickup and delivery with your babysitting, anyone?
There you go. top ten. These would be like the today ones... not the deep, life-enabling, purpose-of-existence, self-defining things I'm grateful for, by the way. That's a whole nother topic.

You are a genius to use coordinating tape for your packing. I want to be you someday.

Nice list. You rock.

I was going to say what Shelly said. Pooh on her for going first. I should-a raised my hand faster. So I will add...I love the "today" clarification. My point exactly. Love you too...thanks for playing with me. I haven't played a good game with my high school buddies in a while.

I might just do this on my blog, but maybe I should save it for a hard day when I really need to remember what I'm thankful for.

KC is on his way over right now! Good luck!
