1. for the yummy indulgence of Costco’s falafel balls…. which I scattered around my 4-hour roast chicken… and soaked up all that yummy seasoning and fat. LOL. I’m pretty sure they weren’t created to be that sinful.
2. kids who are obedient… most of the time. funny… most of the time. helpful… most of the time. “Most of the time” works for me 🙂
3. Aisa’s new glasses and coursebooks that came today in the mail!
4. DH coming home early so we can go to Adoration early!
5. faithful people who surround us. They are SOOOO inspiring, uplifting, encouraging. Makes me so thankful to be a Catholic in these tense, hard times.

and one whine…
on the healthcare bill that continues to polarize and confuse Americans everywhere. I almost want to wish that we could split up the US and the ones who want it go live on one side — we’ll live on the other. Is that un-American? Maybe. But how un-American is this health care bill anyway? More than I can explain in this here post.
