This week, I am thankful:
1. For Daylight Savings Time. Certainly not because we lost an hour this time around, but definitely because the days are now an hour longer - for a little while.
2. for friends. Thanks to our sweet friend, D, who braved the crazy crowds at Kalahari this week for her kids, and who thought to include Connor on their vacation. He had a great time, with his sleepover Monday and their trip Tuesday and Wednesday.
3. for my inlaws. Thanks for taking our little princess for the week, despite the tremendous battle that they've been fighting. I certainly hope that she behaved herself and wasn't too demanding.
4. for date night. With both kids gone, it was nice to go out for dinner and not have to fight for a moment of quiet conversation. To not have to constantly keep our little one within eyesight (she's a wanderer). To not have to police the bickering. To go out and enjoy HOT food and each other's company.
5. that I am ALMOST finished up our accounting records for 2010! Woo hoo! That means tax returns are right around the corner... :s
6. for memories. Last Sunday, my parents would have celebrated their 56th wedding anniversary. Thanks to cancer, my mom lost the battle just 80 days before their 50th. I'm thankful that despite the years that pass all too quickly, we have photos and memories to remind us of her.
7. for opportunity knocking when we need it. This week, my associate/owner at work offered me a job at his second store. While I will have to learn to be even more productive in my free time, the extra income is always welcome!
What are YOU thankful for this week?
I am thankful for sweet people like you who remind me to be thankful. xox
