Yes, it is indeed Friday. So, of course, my first Thankful Thursday item is the TGIF. Thank God it’s Friday!
As often happens in the life of a substitute, my fairly easy week became a super busy one. My half-days all turned into full days with 3 days of topsy-turvy schedules. Today was a straight-forward although tiring day. Never let anyone tell you changes in weather patterns or the moon cycles don’t impact young children. That said, especially, this week, I’m thankful I love my job and that I get to work with such amazing teachers.
On The Way To Work
Thankful for enjoyable radio stations and a nice drive through a park. Happy to see the waterfalls in the park turned back on for the season. Last week a pair of geese in the road about made me late for work. This week I was almost late as I waited for a couple to take a selfie in front of the waterfall. I didn’t have to wait as they weren’t in my way but I thought they probably wanted the waterfall and not my car as the backdrop.
After Work
One station has been playing this song quite a bit:
And I was thankful that tonight I finally had a chance to sit down and re-watch The Greatest Showman (Disney+ and it’s a great movie if by chance you’ve never seen it).
Rest of My Thankful List In Very Random Order
Take-out for dinner tonight. A husband who cooked dinner another night. And prepped it on one other.
Another good gas discount at the grocery store. Toffee Nut Latte from Starbucks. Coffee in general.
Hugs and conversations from different students throughout the week. Conversations with my big children at home.
Remembering to bring Lucinda the lemon tree inside because once again on Thursday, spitting snow. And cold. Hard freeze warning for tonight. However, I’m super thankful for the anticipated quick warm up that is supposed to hold. 
Our crazy weather had us coat free on Tuesday and Wednesday, in jackets on Thursday, and wearing full winter coats and gloves today! It did make for some beautiful moody skies, however. Thankful I was able to enjoy them (and wish I’d had time to take photos for you to enjoy them as well)
And Finally
I know my list is not quite as long tonight. Battling the computer and it’s winning. Reminds me of an extra item. I’m super thankful the ants that were invading our bathroom seem to be retreating.
However, I’m stopping my post here as I’m tired and ready to throw on my warm pajamas, get under the covers, and dive into my new library book. Always thankful when a book I’ve had on hold pops up just as I need a new one to read.
What things are you thankful for this week?

Jean recently posted…Thankful Thursday, TGIF
Hello! I did the exact same thing last night! I put on my jammies, hopped into bed, and had every intention of reading, but I could not keep my eyes open! And…I thought I was being smart switching out our sheets to fresh spring ones, but boy! Did we miss the flannels!!! Have a cozy weekend! And thanks for the reminder about that movie!
My eyes didn’t stay open on Friday night. However, I made up for it by staying up way too late reading my book on Saturday. Been paying the price all day. Thankfully, we had warmer spring temps for our weekend but who knows what season(s) we’ll get in the week ahead. Happy new week!
Just trying to comment again. Hi Jean x
Hooray! Glad the commenting is working for you again. Not sure what the issue was but I’m glad it’s resolved. Happy New Week!
