I’ve got thirty minutes before I have to get serious about getting to work today. My schedule changed again so I worked yesterday morning and didn’t get a chance to post my Thankful Thursday.
Today, I’m working this morning, taking an extended break, and returning for the afternoon. Always something.
Just mostly photos (still from the Arkansas trip, phone photos, hopefully, no duplicates to what I already posted. No promises though) and a list today.
- Having a chance to getaway in October and spend time in a beautiful place with good friends.
- Great weather for the trip.
- All the time spent in nature
- And a chance to be near the water so much. Something about being near water is just soothing to my soul. I think this little creature liked the water as well.
- That are kids are of the age where we could leave them and not worry (at least not too much)
- Getting everything (finally) straightened out with J’s school. Mostly. They tell me I have to fill out forms.
- Super caring and understanding band director who is leaving a spot open for my son when he returns next semester.
- Wearing pajamas to work today. Hello, pajama day!
- The way the preschool kids at work make me laugh every single day I’m there. I do love those kids. (Love my own older boys here as well, of course)
- That J wanted to go practice driving yesterday and that we have a big empty parking lot nearby where he could do that.
- That the hibiscus survived when G put it outside to make room in the living room for a small friend gathering while we were away. Waiting to see about Lucinda the Lemon tree…she’s not looking so good.
- Also thankful G cleaned the house before and after their get-together. They’re all good kids so I wasn’t worried.
- Have I mentioned how thankful I am that we avoided the temptation to eat out and I actually cooked dinner every night this week? I do think I’ll pass on the corndogs and just do leftovers tonight.
- I’m also thankful that they’ve not found my Halloween candy stash and more importantly, that I’ve managed to stay out of it (mostly, ahem)
- And that I was inspired to pick my camera up again during our trip.
Okay, I had time for 15 things in 30 minutes but now I must get going if I’m to be on time for work. What things are you thankful for today?
Love this Jean! And the pics from your trip are sooo beautiful!! I’m thankful for too many things to count. But especially for the beauty of this unseasonably nice day. For the time I was able to give up at the hospice house today – my time there always makes me extra grateful for my health and the gifts all around me. And for my kiddos as they’re both here (my son moved back in with my for now) and I love the precious extra time I get because they choose to live here. (just visit their dad sometimes).
Thanks for sharing. 💗
Thank you! I’m so sorry to be late in replying, weekend ended up busy. Glad you have your son home with you again for a bit. I bet you are enjoying that. Hope you had a great weekend! See you in a bit for HHM.
