The week came and went in a hurry. Vacation hangover is always a bit of a challenge. Poor Grant had his schedule upside down for a while, but I think we've got that managed again. The little dude would fall irreparably asleep anytime we got in the car. Then he would go to bed late making him more tired the next day... I think we are all caught up and I'm looking forward to Monday. This week I am grateful for:
- The Olympics and that they are ending tonight. We LOVE watching- can't get enough, but it will be nice/necessary to reclaim our evenings starting tomorrow night. Not to mention the fact that between the competition, the personal stories, and the commercials I am always on the verge of tears. I need a break.
- My calling in Sunday School. I love teaching the High School kids. And I'm especially grateful for the direction and propulsion lesson preparation gives my scripture study through the week. I've never been much of an Old Testament buff. I've been conversant with the major stories and now I feel like there is a greater foundation of context and understanding growing as I study this year. The kids in my class ask thoughtful questions, though sometimes tangental. But I find that as I prayerfully prepare, I learn so much and usually have answers. We always have good discussion.
- The deep clean of our house that has begun. Though I don't like doing it, I'm glad it is getting underway. Cori cleaned out the garage yesterday, and I went through multiple boxes of Mr. Clean Magic Erasers scrubbing cabinets, kick plates, trim work, and doors on the main floor. The list is long, but we're off the starting line.
- Cori and his endless patience and helpfulness where I am concerned.

I too am grateful that I had the olympics to watch but that they are ending. I was up late every night. Do you have a list of the things you "deep clean"? I wouldn't even know where to start :) Your sunday school class sounds stellar! The teacher always sets the tone. Way to go!
Darcy- No list. It is usually just all the things that other housewives probably do on a more regular basis that I only do once a year, or when it is time to move. Cleaning the oven- washing windows- scrubbing walls and cabinets...
