I'm Grateful...

The election is over, talk of Christmas has begun. But let's take some time for November's thankfulness. Add yours in the comments!

I am grateful...

for a sun rise I was not responsible for making sure happened

for a husband who got up early to spend time with me and instead listened to my frustrations

for tiny fingers, tiny toes, and a tiny voice saying mama

for Proverbs

for someone's wisdom to rework an intersection on my commute and how much safer it is now

for lower gas prices, a fuel efficient car, and an automatic transmission

for a student who always says, "Not until you ask with a smile, Mrs. G"

for principals who appreciate my dilligence, idealism, and wild notions, but also tease me about the differences between my melt downs and hissy fits

for other working moms who know the frustrations and encourage me

for people who remind me my family is my priority and I shouldn't feel guilty when the thank you's are late, the dishes pile up, and I haven't returned emails

for 1/2 and 1/2 in my coffee

for getting to talk to Kelley Marie when I called my mom...for the laugh it gave us all when I hung up in confusion and had to call back

for the cry that will end this post
