so i'm still working on getting everything together for my thankful journal. i'm going to have these printed out as 6x4 prints and place them in here by american crafts:
these are not in order (of course) but the number corresponds to the dates in november.
i used these digi papers and a template from my friend Liz had as a freebie a couple of years ago on her blog.
hope all my US friends had a wonderful thanksgiving!
1. one kid is home from school due to strep.
2. one kid forgot to take her violin to school only after i reminded her 15 minutes before she headed out to school.
3. one completely unnecessary trip to the school.
4. one dentist visit.
5. one doctor's visit (see #1)
6. two trips to the grocery because one store doesn't carry apricot preserves.
7. two emails to teacher.
8. two facebook status updates (rare for me)
9. one kid dropped off at preschool and then picked up three hours later
10. one photo album loaded onto site and only 2 more to go...
11. one babysitter confirmed to come tonight so i can have a date with husband.
12. one happy mama.
so, how's your wednesday going so far?
so it begins..
the start of the santa threats. charlie was being so disagreeable this morning that i had to tell him that i was going to email santa to let him know what he had done. of course that instantly struck fear into his eyes. something i don't see very often these days. so on our way to his preschool, he asked why i had to tell santa everything he had done. and i responded with, if you would just behave and be a good listener, i wouldn't have to tell santa anything.
that pretty much shut him up for the rest of the short ride to preschool.
:)
oh, and i didn't even have to bribe him to take these pictures. he just asked to have his picture taken today. i do love this boy so.
so i'm seeing all these posts on facebook about what people are thankful for and i thought to myself, oh i am SO not doing that.
:P
i know. there are times when i even think that i'm not right in the head. like, how can someone be such a negative nelly, a debbie downer about everything when there is SO much in my life to really be thankful for? so i decided while i was in the shower that i'm going to start one. i'm only 4 days behind, pretty typical of me but i'm going to keep it simple. simple and easy and non-stressful.
as i stepped out of the shower and dried myself off, i lifted the lid to the toilet and noticed that it was FLUSHED (because i can't brush my teeth in a bathroom with a dirty toilet; weird, i know) and thought to myself, thankful journal entry #4.
it's the little things, people...and because normal people on facebook posted all the most ADORABLE pictures of their little ones on halloween and i posted this:
:)
