Thankful Part 2

Part 2 of Thankful November is here!!

We thought you weren't coming back.

Common misconception, you need to have more faith in my return....apparently we are still in the "trust vs. mistrust" stage - lets work on that.

Seriously, an Erickson reference, at 10:30 at night, on a Tuesday?

Yeah, get over yourself...now a bunch of people have to Google "Erickson, trust vs mistrust".

November 5 - I am thankful for my job. While it is not always super fun it is a great job with great co-workers, administrators, students and parents. I can not think of a better place to teach at right now. The support from this community has been fantastic, it makes me feel like teaching was the best choice I could have made with my college degree.

November 6 - I am thankful for my dad (Happy Birthday DAD!) You are super funny and always know random stuff that makes me smile, and sometimes helps me win knowledge bets.

November 7 - I am thankful for friends who understand my obsession with books and at times get my jokes, like when I use the reference "shouty capitals" and my co-worker almost spits milk out her nose during lunch. You know it's a good day when there is almost a nose spew.

November 8 - I am thankful for my sister. Carly has an amazing aunt whom she calls "Kee Kaw" we have no idea why. She loves Kee Kaw and gets really excited when she calls, Caitlin is one of the few people Carly actually talks to on the phone. Talk - read: says one or two word phrases like "lunch, eat it, pizza,  more bites, Baggie house, some" which translates to "We had lunch, I ate some, it was pizza. Maggie is in the house, I threw a fit at the end of lunch and when mom told me to take more bites I gave some to Maggie instead." Somehow my sister gets the translation - this is why she  is getting a degree in early childhood education, because she is totes awesome.

November 9 - I am thankful for my step mom (Happy Birthday KIM!) I am glad you are part of our family. You keep my dad in line and give a healthy dose of sarcasm to everything we do. You also write a mean newspaper - OH COME ON DAD....we all know who really runs the show, you are just the writer (hee hee)

November 10 - I am thankful for Saturdays and sleeping in and also cuddling with my daughter until 7:30 in the morning, even with the crazy time change just a week ago, she still slept past 6:00! Winner, winner, chicken dinner!

November 11 - I am thankful that my husband is home safely - he went to South Dakota for a hunting trip and came home much more relaxed and happier - he needed a mancation. Plus he brought home some delicious phesant.

November 12 - I am thankful for Mondays. I dislike them, but am thankful for them because one day it won't matter that it is Monday and the beginning of the work week. I could be retired or unemployed. But for now there are Mondays and Mondays are good because that means I have a job and we have a solid income we can depend on, we might squeak by but we are squeaking still!

November 13 - I am thankful for job interviews. My husband had one today and while he might not get the job. Knowing that someone liked him enough to give him a job interview is pretty exciting. We will know if he got the job on Friday - until then, my 15 followers,  send a little prayer for us - espeically for my wonderful husband who really really wants this job.
