Today I'm going to list a few things I'm especially thankful for. There will be many, many things left off the list, because I need to get home to my crock pot dinner I'm dreaming of...
1. How S crawls into bed with me in the mornings and says, "Mommy, you're warmie," and falls back to sleep.
2. D's endless 'good days' and how I have the privilege of walking over to pick her up each day from school.
3. H's patience and seeming to telepathically know when an already-produced meal or drawn bath will be needed when I get home.
4. My 25 bright, shiny faces and little minds to mold.
5. Unexpected emails from friends with exciting and juicy info.
6. Champagne breakfast on New Year's Day - and every single thing on that buffet (ahhhh...the prime rib.)
7. Trees. I just love trees.
8. Low-fat cheese sticks with marinara sauce.
9. Christmas Break
10. Second Chances
11. Chart paper and colored sharpies
12. Country music songs that tell stories like, "I love this bar" or "John Deere Green".
13. Leftovers for lunch.
14. The gift of teaching American History & getting kids excited about it.
15. Scrapbooking stores (and gift certificates to those stores ; ) )
16. That the liquor law was lifted and our town will get some REAL restaurants now.
17. Christmas decorations and how they add magic to the house. (Yesterday S gasped with horror when I said, "We probably need to take down the tree." He thought it was a permanent fixture, I guess).
18. Email.
19. Heated seats.
20. Loving family and friends.
Like I said, this list could continue until next June (ahhh...June. warmie.) So I'll go check out the progress on the house from today. Another thing to be grateful for.
