I think by now we all know that these thanks giving posts did not go quite as I expected.
I just want you to know that it isn't because I don't have a lot to be thankful for.
Because I have ALOT to be thankful for.
It has more to do with time management and the inability to make a day longer than 24 hours.
Im sure there are a lot of moms out there who know exactly what I mean.
That being said here in all their glory are the last 10 thanks givings.
November 14: I am thankful that my 11 year old has a cell phone. I have to be honest and let you know that I fought Brent on this one. I didn't think she needed a phone yet. I thought a year or two more would be soon enough. However, he won the fight and she got a phone. To tell you the truth she is the only one out of the three that makes me glad they have a phone. She is the queen of sending me totally random text that make me laugh. She shares random moments and I can count on her for a giggle every thursday night at school.
She sent this from a science conference she attended. Along with this one I received a close up of the T-shirts, a picture of her lunch, and a hey mom text. Kind of nice to know I am in her thoughts. I'm needy like that.
November 15: Since we are talking cell phones I have to say that I am thankful for my iPhone. I know materialistic. However, I love my phone and most of all I love the camera. The little camera on the phone has been there to catch some interesting moments.
Including A's first time in four years without glasses.
November 16: I can't make it all the way to the bottom of this list without mentioning my electric blanket. I love being able to climb into a warm bed. Nothing better on a cold night than nice warm sheets.
November 17: Which reminds me how thankful I am for the basics. A roof over our heads, food in the refrigerator, jobs, and health. To often I take the basic for advantage.
November 18: I am thankful for extended family events where you are reminded where you come from and why you are the way you are.
November 19: I am thankful for great friends who help you when your down. I was feeling blue one day and I received an email from a friend from school. She was telling me thank you for all that I have done. She proceeded to tell me how awesome I was. I don't feel awesome and I know I'm not the greatest friend. However, it was nice to hear that I am doing a little good in this world.
November 20: I have kind of lost track of where I am so I hope I haven't mentioned this one. I am thankful for the opportunity that I have to work. I love my job and the kids I work with and I am not looking forward to my last day of work. I know the future is waiting for me but oh man those kids have taught me so much. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
November 21: For school A has to attend one concert a semester where a double bass player performs. The teacher has strongly encouraged they attend concerts at the local universities or the Utah Symphony. I was very grumpy about this requirement. One more thing to do on the long list of things to do. However, we were able to attend a Jazz concert at Weber State and it was fun. The musicians were awesome and it was a great date night for Brent, A., and I. If you get a chance I would recommend you check them out.
November 22: Almost done! I am very thankful for long weekends with my family. There is nothing better than a few extra days to hang out and enjoy each other.
November 23: I am thankful for a husband who loves to cook. I makes Thanksgiving a yummy and relaxing holiday for me. Since we all know I am writing this after thanksgiving I have to mention he rocked the turkey this year and it was delicious.
I did it!! Should I mention that I am thankful that I did it. Really, if it weren't for the fact that I was typing right now I would be dancing.
Just want to say one more time. I am so very thankful for all that I have. Life is pretty dang great when we focus on what we have verses what we want.
Have a great Tuesday everyone.
