Day 29 & 30

Today I am thankful for:

• Long planning periods. I got an hour and 40 minutes yesterday and today to do basically nothing. I'm caught up for the next who knows how long so now my planning periods consist of relaxing and looking up recipes. Oh and doing budgets for Rich and I. Oh the life of a teacher! It is not this laid back in the fall though.
• Getting to take a long bath today.
• A healthy, easy dinner. I made grilled chicken salad. The chicken was left over from the other night when we grilled, and I just came home and cut it up, added some fresh bacon, egg, and homemade ranch and voila... dinner is served!
• Getting to go to church tonight. I had to miss last Wednesday, but got to go tonight.
• Keeping up with this blog for 30 days now. I have missed some days, but I have made it average out to 7 things that I am thankful for everyday! There is a good feeling you get when you keep a committment to yourself.
• Catching up on some shows after work. I only got to watch a few, but I'm glad that I got to lower our DVR percentage.
• DVR-I am so spoiled by it.
• Getting to watch American Idol yesterday and today and none of my favorites getting voted off. I seriously look forward to American Idol all day long. I know that is sick!
• Getting to see my dad yesterday and hanging out with him for a while.
• Splurges at Las Maracas. I broke my diet last night and ate some Mexican! It was wonderful and worth every bite. I grew up eating Mexican with my dad about once a week and sometimes twice. I had not had Mexican in two weeks. I was CRAVING it.
• The excitement of maybe not having school tomorrow or at least getting out early. We may not get anything, but there is still a wonderful excitement anytime they even forcast anything related to snow for us teachers!
• My hearing. My ears have been clogged up from being so sick and I'm so thankful that usually I can hear everything. I take it forgranted that I am able to listen to the people on TV or my husband talking to me.
• Going for a long walk with Rich and Bentley last night.
• A healthy baby!
