I am grateful that my U.T.I. is pretty much on the way out. It could have been REALLY bad. Still flushing, Ruth!
And I'm grateful that it's such a beautiful sunny day, and that I don't have to go outside (because it's damned cold out there!).
And I can see all the dust in my living and dining rooms, so I'm going to clean them.
I think i should have come to visit this thread sooner, Just to remind myself i do have a lot to be greatful for.
I'm greatful that the lump i had removed was NOT cancer and that financially i'll be able to spend some quality time with my DD while she really needs me.
I am grateful to have a sweet fiance' who, despite me being sick and grumpy for the past three weeks, and crying all of the time because I'm sick of working so much overtime, has dinner ready for me when I come home from yet another bad day at the office.
I am happy that for the first time in 3 yrs - my DD has brought home a report card of all As and Bs! what a relief! she is so proud - her hard work has paid off!
I am happy that we are on the downside now - sliding into Christmas week and things will slow down so we can catch our breaths and relax a little. Sabrina, I can so relate to the stress of working overtime - the past 3 weeks have been awful as everybody wants THEIR stuff done before they leave on vacation.
I am happy that my dental nightmare is behind me for now.
I am happy that DH is going to buy our Christmas goodies tomorrow. We've been so good around here - eating nothing but veggies and clementines and baked chicken and diet ginger ale
Now we're looking forward to prime rib with homemade horseradish sauce and some good wine! ok and we'll make cookies on Sunday too!
I am again happy to know you all and share our days together.
Sorry to hear about all the coughs and colds and flus and UTIs. Virginia - hope Pam is feeling better.
Sojo - been thinking about you! Hope you're hanging in there.
Terri, I'm so happy for your daughter! You must be great parents. hugs...
Where am I?
Oh, yes... happy and grateful.
We were supposed to all go to a friend's daughter's orchestra this evening, but DS is sick with a cough, so DH and DD went alone. I'm happy that I was able to stay home with my sweet little boy. We snuggled up in my bed and watched Jurassic Park III, and ate Smarties. He's taken his cough medicine and is sleeping soundly. Life is so very good.
Hope DS feels better soon Ellis!!! My younger DS has been home sick too, but I am not sure how much of it is emotional and how much of it is physical!!!
Thanks, Den! Last day of school... I'm keeping him home.
I hope DS #2 is feeling better soon. He's probably not missing much at school at this time of year, right?
He needs a holiday. We all do. Where do you want to go, Den?
Hey, I missed that orchestra, Den! According to DH it was VERY good! He and DD enjoyed it. Although I think we have to expose DD to more classical music. She only recognized one piece. "The Twelve Days of Christmas". And she wanted to know; not who, but WHAT Brahms was. Having a dad with a jazz band is great, but she obviously needs a little more variety.
I am very, very grateful that I finished packing up and addressing the last of my Christmas gifts last night, and once I drop them at the post office this afternoon, I will be officially Done with my Christmas preparations.
(okay, except for that little matter of the tree.)
I am also grateful that I found a post office yesterday that is completely empty around two in the afternoon, so I can mail everything without standing in line for ten years.
I am thankful that escow should close in under 2 weeks and I will be home!!!!!!! I am thankful that I could have a good gift giving season since I did not have to pay bills this month.
Ellis-DS went back to school today and took some of the chocolate treats to his Orchestra teacher (who is a chocoholic!) His teacher was just oohing and aahing, which made DS feel really good. If I could go anywhere.....I'd want to come up to YOUR place and then get snowed in so we couldn't make it back home!! THEN you'd get sick of me REALLY fast though!!! We don't listen to enough classical either. DH turns on the classical station sometimes, but they usually play CRUD!!! Easy listening classical. BLECH!!!
Well I am happy and grateful that yesterday's Hershey squirts have disappeared!
This morning felt like Friday and I completely forgot about decorating the Church. I'm happy and grateful that seven people showed up, just did it and then came in to tell me it's all done!
