Day 15 Thanks

Tonight I am thankful for date nights with girlfriends...more specifically tonight's date with my dear friend, Jess :) It's so nice to chat and catch up on life over laughs and dinner but also so nice to be able to listen, comfort, encourage, and motivate one another to keep on keeping on.  I am thankful for friendships likes these. Thank you Jess!

day 13 thanks-

Today I'm thankful I was able to get up at 5:45am and get a workout in.  Tomorrow I plan to continue this crazy pledge I've made to a friend at work.  I am excited to get back into shape before the holidays instead of waiting until afterwards.  I guess I am thankful for this willpower too!

Day 12 thanks

Today I'm thankful for my amazing friends at work. They aren't "coworkers", they're my friends and I'm thankful I get to spend my days with them, if I have to be away from my family!  I love the 3:16 bar dates, Christmas parties, and other get together a we do throughout the year. They're uplifting when I'm having a rough day and always know how to bring out a laugh in the hallway, teachers lounge, staff meeting etc. they are a blessing:)

Day 11 Thanks

Christmas lights!! I am so thankful for those wonderful, mood lifting Christmas lights this time of year.  Today, my husband and I spent the entire afternoon putting up multi-colored lights around the gutters and shingles.  It's a Christmas of 1st for me (or us, whatever you want to call it).  Our 1sst year doing multi-colored lights (outdoors only) and on the house.  It will also be our 1st year, my 1st EVER to have a real Christmas tree and I am stoked!! Pictures will follow when I get a chance:)

Day 9 & 10 thanks

Yesterday was one of those days and getting on my blog didn't make the list before going to bed. Madelyn threw up shortly after getting into bed which had me doing laundry late and then again at 4am. She's doing better today and hasn't gotten sick again, so I'm thankful for that today:)

I'm also thankful to have my last culminating paper completed and submitted today. I'm still in my final class and will have assignments due for that class for the next 5 weeks but to have that other paper done, is a relief. 5 weeks and I will be a master!!

Day 8 thanks

I'm struggling to feel thankful today. I feel overwhelmed, stressed and tired after a long week. I guess I can be thankful my girls were asleep by 7:30 tonight and I am sitting on my butt at 8:15. Ugh what a day...week. So ready for tomorrow at 3:15. Breathe.....

Day 7 Thanks

Tonight I am thankful for my brother's life. I'm thankful he is alive and still has the opportunity to be happy and healthy.  I'm thankful that he's dug himself a hole so deep that he's down and out with nowhere to go but up. I don't kow what else to say. My heart is Heavy..  I must  let go and allow God to intervene.
