30 Days of Gratitude #8, 9, 10, 11, 12
Jeez I suck at this! I keep getting further and further behind!!!
Oh well, on Friday 11/8 I was grateful for the end of the week. Last week was a real stinker. I hated everything. I was in a rotten mood. And I was sick of myself. Also- I was grateful that Alexa's friend called and asked if she could spend the night. That meant I could go to Senior Night at the Varsity Football game without Alexa. She would have been utterly MISERABLE. It was sooooo cold. I was bundled up and had hand warmers and I was still freezing. I was also grateful my rice bag, which is basically a piece of fabric sewn into a tube that is filled with rice. I heat it up and put it on my feet in the winter time. It keeps my feet so toasty warm.
Saturday 11/9 I took my kids shopping. I hate shopping (this is sounding super grateful). I hate crowds. Andrew hates shopping. He's a HUGE pill . . . normally. But I was pleasantly surprised and grateful for a positive shopping experience. Andrew found pants he was willing to wear and it didn't take forever and he wasn't a massive pill. In fact- he was enjoyable. And . . . my kids got along with one another!!!
Sunday 11/10 I am super thankful for such a productive cleaning day. I cleaned the HECK out of my house! I mean- ceiling fans, baseboards, vacuumed under all the furniture, mopped, cleaned behind the oven, refrigerator, and washing machine and dryer. That is some crazy cleaning. Cray-zy cleaning. Looking on Instagram at all the Instagrammers decorating for Christmas is making me crazy! I am forcing myself to wait until the weekend before Thanksgiving. To prepare, I cleaned the heck out of my house.
Monday 11/11- This one is easy- but I am thankful for the Veterans and the sacrifices they've made. The holidays and big life moments they missed. The nights sleeping in super uncomfortable locations. The discomfort in being hot and sandy in the desert, sleeping in a tin can with a mile of ocean water surrounding you, or cold and dark in mountains. Eating gross food for weeks. Being out of contact from their family or social media. The endless trainings. Thank you. Because of the Veterans- I don't have to do those things.
Tuesday 11/12- I'm grateful for getting a walk in. Finally. I've been needing it for days. Thinking I should do it. But tonight I finally did it. Finally. Thankfully. The cold air on my face and the fresh air felt great.
