Thankful Post #3

Day 15: I am thankful for cameras. Love that I can capture moments anytime.

Day 16: I am thankful for sweaters on a cold day. (Yes, it gets cold in California.)

Day 17: I am thankful for James's love of being at church. I hope he never grows out of it.

Day 18: I am thankful for Family Home Evening. I'll admit we're not too good at doing one and when we do it usually just involves a fun family activity. I enjoy spending time as a family, just the 3 of us.

Day 19: I am thankful for my job. Being a stay at home mom isn't always fun, but I definitely wouldn't want to trade places with Tracy. What he does (grading papers, doing presentations, writing papers, etc.), doesn't look nearly as much fun.

Day 20: I am thankful for inspiration, divine intervention, epiphanies or whatever you want to call it. I'll call it answers to prayers that I never actually said out loud.

Day 21: I am thankful for rainy days. I love rain, James loves rain. Makes for a great day.

Thankful Post #2

Here's the second week worth of Thankful post.

Day 8: I am thankful for Fridays and 3 day weekends. Fridays are the best since it means a weekend with Tracy. Well, sometimes he is away on various camping trips for school or scouts. A 3 day weekend means one extra day of family fun. Hooray for Veteran's Day.

Day 9: I am thankful for living close to a great shopping center. It is pretty much our home away from home. James just loves the splash pad, fish pond and all the other water features.

Day 10: I am thankful to be teach the Sunbeams. Some Sundays I feel like pulling my hair out, but other Sundays it is a blast. Love the 3 little boys in my class. They did a great job on the program today too.

Day 11: I am thankful for all veterans and any one currently serving in the military. Glad that they sacrifice their lives to keep our country free.

Day 12: I am thankful for pillow fights and just being silly. Sometimes when I'm frustrated with a little someone it is nice to have some fun to forget about being angry.

Day 13: I am thankful for the ability to buy good food. Sometimes I feel like I spend too much on groceries, but I'm glad it is money we have earned and not have to use food stamps like we did a few years ago.

Day 14: I am thankful for dollar stores and all the amazing cheap arts and craft supplies.

Thankful Post #1

I did this last year and I think I'll do it again. A lot of people post on Facebook what they are thankful for during the month of November. I like to do my list here and post it weekly, that way I am more than likely to go back and read it and it doesn't get lost in the Facebook cloud.

Day 1: I am thankful for technology to be able to Skype with Tracy when he's away and stay connected with family.

Day 2: I am thankful for my health. I don't get sick often and when I do it usually isn't too bad. However, this is not one of those time. I feel awful...

Day 3: I am thankful for my peaceful Sunday mornings. I'm usually the first one awake and can get ready with out a little boy begging for attention.

Day 4: I am thankful for little boy cuddles. They seem to be better when you feel awful.

Day 5: I am thankful for naps. It is amazing what taking a nap can do when you are sick.

Day 6: I am thankful for the warm climate we live it. I love that it is still reaching 80 degrees outside in November.

Day 7: I am thankful for little friends for James. It is so fun to go play with friends or have friends come over to play, even though James still prefers having me play with him when friends are around.
