Today I am grateful for my dear friend Adriane. She came over this morning to help me clean my house, and what a fantastic job she did! When she first offered to help me, I was hesitant to accept because, as most of you know, I'm a bit of a control freak and I like things done my way. But today taught me that I don't always do things the right or best way and that it was as much of a gift to Adriane to be able to help me as it was to me for accepting the offer. So we worked together for a couple of hours to get my house more spic-&-span than it's been in a while. My husband is eternally grateful, too, because he doesn't have to clean the shower or sweep & mop this weekend. So now my house is lovely and I can enjoy the next two days without worrying about it. Adriane is such a special friend, and I am blessed to have her in my life.

What a special gift to you! I know you'll enjoy it this weekend as you can rest before the little babe gets here. I can't wait to here about him/her.
Ok, and you can count on me to give you a good laugh before he/she gets here. I cannot believe I just typed "here" instead of "hear." Just a glimpse at the mind of a mother of two.
Too funny! No one else will pay attention - just us ol' English teachers! We'll let you know the news next week.
Just to let you know I've read the latest blog and how grateful I am to Adriene for her love and kindness to you. Often in life we find one or two really true friends and I know you consider her one of those. I'm praying for you and I'll be anxious to hear from you tomorrow. Nana
