and minus the standard grains photo. Photobucket is messed up today...... Must be cause it's Monday ;)
Yup - I'm behind - sorry - had to work on reading and writing a story with my grumpy son - what can I say - family comes first ;)
What a week it has been!!! I have started to write about 5 different blog entries about advocating for Brady, and a dozen or so other things that have been on my mind - but the words just aren't coming. I'm not sure why? It's been a somewhat difficult week - so I really need to focus on my gratitudes - because hopefully that will help me to appreciate all the small things I've missed and adjust my attitude. I hate when I have something going every night and every day - I don't do well when I am overscheduled and overwhelmed :) Throw in a bit of stress and worry on top of that - and you've got a messed up Momma ;)
This week I'm grateful.....
that my lesson in YW went well :) I so love all the girls in my class - they are darling!!!
that we had a bit of a chance to go over our 2010 goals in Family Home Evening - hopefully we will get to set new ones (or in my case - just write 2011 over 2010) tonight :) J is sure hoping, so we can pull out the non-alcoholic bubbly we've been saving in the fridge for the occasion ;)
that the Iron Chef activity I was in charge of went well :) I am grateful to the four families in our ward that let us use their homes, kitchens, and ingredients to make our creations ;) The girls did a great job, and I hope it was a fun way to end off our month of "cooking" :)
that I got to help in Brady's class for centers this week! Brady was a stinker, but hopefully as he gets used to me being there he will settle in and just work ;) I helped a lot last year and he was good - I think he is just hoping I will take him home LOL
that the hubs and I got our monthly lunch date! For Christmas he gave me a monthly lunch date - and it was so fun to just lunch and hang out with him :) I love him so much, and I am so lucky to have him!
that my meeting with the principal went well. I sooo hate going to the principal's office :) I am really grateful he was open to listening to my concerns and frustrations and willing to make some changes (and had already made some!) to make things better - for Brady and for others. I am eternally grateful for the people in mine and Brady's life who really work hard to make a difference for him - there are so many good people, who really go the extra mile for him, and it means the world to me, and makes all the difference in his life. I cannot express enough gratitude for them - there just aren't words!!!
that the hubs and H had a good time on the winter campout :) They didn't freeze or get lost or starve :) So that is a good thing :) They even cleaned up their stuff right away after coming home - I am really really REALLY grateful for that, and not having to walk around camp stuff in the family all week :)
for good kids. They really are fantastic and I am grateful every day for the good choices they make and for what wonderful kids they are. Of course they have their moments where they drive me totally insane - but overall they are kind, compassionate, accepting, tolerant, hardworking, loving, patient (some more than others), obedient, and just good. I am grateful for them!!!
and lastly and pretty much leastly - it's not important at all - but really - I am grateful for RED BOX ;) Cheap movies make our weekends fun and I am grateful there seems to be one on every corner ;)
What are YOU grateful for this week?
