Tag: Spin Cycle

I had to laugh this weekend when someone on Facebook wrote this: For those of you who are annoyed at the daily thankful statuses, just wait until the daily elf statuses start next month! While I haven’t been writing thankful statuses on Facebook (keeping up with my blog is hard enough) I’ve enjoyed reading all the thankful thoughts my friends have.

On Thursday, we’re celebrating Thanksgiving, so this is a week of thankfulness on the Spin Cycle. Link up any post about being thankful this week, and then find out what Gretchen and I are thankful for on Friday. (I may try to write a thankful post every day this week for NaBloPoMo. Stay tuned!) Link up your own thankful posts below!

Usually when I think about temptation, I think about things I want to do but I shouldn’t. For example, eating four peanut butter cups. Or having one more glass of wine. Gossiping just one more time about that friend and her husband. Buying that pair of boots that I really don’t need to add to the three other pairs of boots in the closet.

Last night, however, as I was putting my daughters to bed, I was tempted NOT to write this blog post for so many reasons:

My back hurts.
Teaching 5 mornings a week leaves me less time to write.
I have to fold that pile of laundry. (It’s still sitting there, unfolded, this morning.)
I made dinner, didn’t I?
Writing a post every day for NaBloPoMo is kicking my ass.
Isn’t November over yet?
I’m tired! (I seem to be continually tired. Is it the season?)
I just want to go to bed and read a book!

But then I thought about how much I love the Spin Cycle. And dang it, I had to write something for NaBloPoMo anyway.

So I sat myself down and wrote this post. Then I stumbled up to bed and read my book. I managed one chapter before I gave in and turned out the light.

What are you tempted NOT to do?

Be sure to visit Gretchen at Second Blooming. Her temptation post is probably way better than mine. Link up your own temptation post below!
