I'M GRATEFUL FOR ........Rainy Day's at the Lake~

I'm grateful for this rainy morning....... I'm grateful for my coffee and all the caffeine and creamer I have in it....pumpkin spice creamer.....yummmmmmmmmmm.

And.....I'm grateful for this photo coming out half decent since I was taking it with one hand and holding my coffee cup in the other.....

I'm grateful for the beauty I get to see where we live........ sometimes it feels like a little slice of heaven....... when the laundry is done and the kids aren't fighting....so at least twice a year I feel this way... sighhhhhhhhh

I'm grateful for the deer..........grateful they know how to swim so I don't have to jump in and try to save them like a crazy person...

*confession time- when we first moved here and I saw a deer cross the lake I all but alerted the media.....I didn't know they could swim..... I know your mind is going back to my confession of trying to keep a bobcat as a pet ( http://mommassoapbox.blogspot.com/2009/10/organized-tank-house-im-so-tank-ful.html ) . .. at least I am honest..... maybe not always country girl savvy.....but honest....

I'm grateful for the most wonderful neighbors anyone could ask for.....I'm also grateful to them for taking these photos of deer crossing the lake......

I'm grateful for the rain to wash my patio clean and water my plants and tree's for me...... is that lazy of me? ............Don't answer......

That was one of those "Does my butt look big in this?" questions, one we already know the answer to and just don't want to hear it..... so we want you to lie in an attempt to make us feel better about ourselves....... I don't want to ask you to lie, not this early........not a great way to start the day.......so lets just move on.......

I'm so grateful for......The rain dripping off of my the eve of the Barn-house....

Well, maybe I'm not so grateful for the no existent gutters that we still need to have installed to keep the rain from dripping off of the eve of the Barn-house.....

But I'm not pointing that out because I'm just in a grateful mood this morning... (I would never try to point this out to my Hunk, I would never remind him over and over that something needs to be done..)...

Doing that would be nagging him.... I don't nag..... a wife should never nag.....so I don't.......I don't ever nag....I whine.... just kidding.....kind of...

I'm grateful for the way the water sounds when it is dripping off of the trees and the way it smells after a first mornings rain........

I'm grateful for the water that dripped on my camera lens and ruined this photo for me....... again.....I'm just kidding....kind of

I'm grateful for the rain.....I'm grateful that the lake will fill back up soon........ Seriously if can fill up over night........ it is bizarre........but awesome all at the same time.....

I'm grateful to have friends and family to share my life with.............

I'm grateful for YOU....... so "coffee cheers" to a great day friends!!

Ciao Bellas~
