Saturday, November 7
As you can imagine, I have been somewhat behind on my laundry. OK, so way more than "somewhat." It has gotten out of control. Saturday, I had a decent day and decided to tackle it. Here's how I do laundry (it may sound familiar to you): I sort it, put it in the washer with some detergent and walk away. When it buzzes, I go back and move the laundry to the dryer, add a dryer sheet and walk away again until I hear the buzzer. As I looked at the HUGE piles of laundry, I felt so grateful for my washer and dryer. I am grateful that I didn't have to was it all by hand. It would have taken me half of an eternity. I am blessed!

I LOVE music. I really love it. I was not blessed with any gifts in that area (though I like to pretend!), unless appreciation is a gift. I got that one. I am grateful, too, that my kids love music. Some of them even have more than the appreciation gift.

I am grateful for technology. My parents live far away from all of their grandchildren. Sadness. So, one day, they were at the Apple Store. My dad showed my mom a webcam and told her what it was for. Although she usually discourages his spending money there, she asked him, "Well, what are you just standing there for? Buy them for the kids!" So, we have cell phones and webcams and email and digital cameras. We can talk whenever we want. It is lovely. Last night, we talked to them on the computer for quite a while. My dad and sister did a puppet show for Roxie. My kids have such a great relationship with them. How sad that in days long ago, kids would grow up and move away and their kids may never know their grandparents. I am grateful that my kids know theirs! Here is a photo Roxie took of Aunt Panda and Uncle Choo-Choo while we were visiting via webcam.

Even though we have washers and dryers--saving us SO much time--where is the time we saved?
Web cams... jealous
