No, I'm not French, but it's Thursday! Yippee.. One more day closer to Friday.. Hurrah!
I've been waking up a little too late in the mornings. I hate being in a rush. I am lucky if I can manage to have time to brush my hair in a pony tail before I head out of the door for work lately. I don't know why it's such a chore to get out of bed. It must be the birds.. Yeah, that's why. I'll blame it on those pesky, chirpy, squacky birds! We suspect that there is a humming bird nest in our orange tree now, as well as another bird's nest in a tree right above our bedroom window. The humming birds don't bother me, but it's weird to see one being territorial with another bird. I've never seen that before. Anyways, I'm happy to report there are no new blood stains or bird feathers appearing anywhere. This is good.
It's Thankful Thursday once more. I cannot believe that tomorrow will be the first day of June. Half the year is gone! Unbelievable. My son Andrew has 10 more days of school left, and yes, he is feeling very content as of lately. He will also be celebrating his birthday in June too--the big 13. It seems like yesterday he was the age of my youngest. The years are just slipping away...sigh.
Today I'm leaving early so I can attend my niece's graduation. She goes to a Catholic private school, and there will be church mass. First off, we (me, mom and my two boys) are headed to the mall to shop for a present. It promises to be a fun event. Not really...but nothing that a Happy Meal at the mall can't fix!
Heres a few things I'm thankful for:
1. I'm thankful for the life I lead today versus the one I had lived 10 years ago.
2. I'm thankful I have a nice house. It fits the people that make it a home.
3. I'm thankful for the friends and family that make me smile and laugh.
4. I'm thankful for my health.
5. I'm thankful that I will soon have my lunch hour back once school is out.
6. I'm thankful for the nice weather outside.
7. I'm thankful that the slimy, talkative, scary man that used to work at the gas station at the corner doesn't work there anymore. I'm no longer afraid to get my coffee in the mornings.
8. I'm thankful for Yoplait yogurt. It's the only yogurt in my opinion that tastes good.
9. I'm thankful that our cat hasn't left any new "kill" at my front doorstep. It's gross and it scares the mailman I'm sure.
10. I'm thankful that I'm leaving early today. Even though it involves what might be a long shopping trip with mother. I need to buy socks!

I hope you enjoyed that graduation..did the mass make it take a long time?

Thankful Thursday, now that's a wonderful idea to find things and people to be thankful for even just one day out of the week.
I'll have to do this too.
Gem :-)
