Thankful Thursday!!!

Today was a lovely, albeit crazybusy, day.  Eighth grade graduation, 6th and 7th grade awards ceremony, packing, packing, and more packing.  My morning was a whirlwind of nonstop activity.  I didn't sit down (for real) until almost noon.  I was sitting during the graduation, but I had to sit on stage so that doesn't really count. ;)

I am thankful for the BEAUTIFUL weather today.  When I was leaving school this afternoon I noticed that it was 81 degrees!  My kind of weather!

I am thankful that the graduation went well.  I was a little worried (I always am) but it was for naught.  Everything went well and the parents seemed happy.  And the 8th graders are G-O-N-E, baby, gone!

Tomorrow is the last day of school for 6th and 7th grade.  Tomorrow is also a half day.

I got more stuff packed today.  I gave myself permission to not do everything that I had planned yesterday and I am ok with that.  Mostly.  I did start packing up stuff in my room and that makes me feel a wee bit better.  Mostly.

I have really good friends that assured me I don't have to have EVERYTHING done before Saturday.  That is a good thing because I kind of really felt like I needed to have EVERYTHING packed up before Saturday.  I really thought I could get it all done and I think that is why I was freaking out yesterday.  Don't get me wrong.  I still have A LOT to do but I am not freaking out as much as I was yesterday.  Um.  Mostly.

What are you thankful for?? :)

Thankful Thursday

Soooooo. What am I thankful for? Let's see....

Tomorrow is Friday! Whoo-hoo!!!!!!! :) I double {heart} Friday! Not only is tomorrow Friday but it is payday Friday and I get to have lunch with one of my most favorite people. I am thankful for that.

I am thankful for another semi-peaceful week at work. I say semi-peaceful only because there is ALWAYS drama at work. Three kids in the last three days have been suspended. One for dropping the f-bomb. I am not thankful for that.

I was really, really hoping for a snow day tomorrow but doesn't look like that is going to happen. I am also not thankful for that.

Wait. This is supposed to be what I AM thankful for. Sorry.

Dark chocolate. Love that! Coffee. Yum! Chocolate covered raisins. Om nom nom nom! I'm also thankful for a warm bed and indoor plumbing. Hot showers and microwaves. My roommate who made dinner tonight--BBQ chicken. Target, Game Stop, and Hobby Lobby. My brother, who is one of a very small handful of people who can make me really laugh without even trying. My BFF who understands me like no one else does.

Oh--and miss raven, who loves me unconditionally:

Tomorrow is Open-Mic Friday for those of you who care to participate. Ask me anything and I will answer it. Only two rules: You must post your question in my comments and you can't ask my middle name. Well, you can ask but I won't tell. ;)
