Thankful Thursday

1.  Cool breezes.  The heat has been miserable the past few weeks (months?)  As I was sitting in the back of the car waiting on Audrey to use her portable potty (which is how I spend approximately 50% of my time these days), there was a sudden cool breeze that blew through the cracked doors.  It felt so amazingly refreshing that I literally stopped and praised God.  It lasted a couple of minutes and Audrey thought I was officially nuts because I couldn't stop talking about it and thanking the Lord for a momentary glimpse of Fall.  


2.  Righted wrongs.  To make a looooong story short, we bought a shed online from Home Depot and the shipping company, Saia, thoroughly screwed up getting it to us.  Several days, multiple unanswered calls and questions, and a few major headaches and rearranged schedules later, it arrived.  After attempting to seek compensation for our outrageous shipping costs from Saia, I gave up on them and spent fifteen minutes on the phone with Home Depot politely and professionally pleading my case.  You definitely catch more flies with honey because I managed to get a 100% refund for our shipping costs credited back to us.  Thanks for doing right by us, Home Depot.  As long as I don't have to have anything shipped from Saia again, I'll be a return customer.


3.  Kraft Three Cheese Macaroni.  I'm quite certain this has made the list at least once before, but I'm not ashamed to admit it's one of my favorite meals.  Yes, I do have the taste bud maturity of a six year old.  Every time I eat it, I think of my college days and my sweet roommate Erin.  We did a lot of bonding over those blue boxes.


4.  The toddler bed transition going well.  We converted AJ's crib last Saturday and she hasn't had any issues or gotten out on her own once.  After the ordeal we've had with potty training, I was super nervous about undergoing another big milestone, but she's handled it terrifically.  


5.  This week's summer pick is "Saturday in the Park" by Chicago.

Please say a prayer for Audrey to get over her summer cold and for us to have a good weekend.  It's gonna be a busy one and we all need to be well!
