Well, I’m on day 4 of my four day weekend. This is it.
Big sigh.
It’s okay, though. Because this time next week, I’ll be on Thanksgiving vacation. So it’s all gravy. Literally.
I’m joining Lyndsey over at A Year of Many Firsts to take a quick moment to say all that I’m thankful for. Well, I won’t say every.single.thing or we’ll be here all day so I’ll try to just hit the bullet points. I’ll try really hard.
1.
First, I’m thankful for the hubby. He is a big, giant Teddy Bear that tries to act tough, but he’s not. Not really. I mean, don’t mess with me, just to be on the safe side, because he’s very protective of me, but deep down, he is a Teddy Bear. Sometimes, the guys at work call him Grumpy Bear. Also, Care Bear. As you can see, Bear is a theme here. My family has this huge Teddy Bear joke with him — I won’t go into it here, but trust me. It’s DYING LAUGHING HILARIOUS. SNORTING DYING LAUGHING CRYING HILARIOUS.
The hubs watches chick flicks with me. He cooks because I don’t want to know how. He sews my buttons because I don’t want to know how. He fills my car up with gas because I don’t want to know how.
We both enjoy movie marathon days. And we both love love love dogs. And we both enjoy food. And going to the movies. And wine. And traveling when we can.
That about sums up our similarities.
Yep. I’ll say that does it because I don’t like the History Channel. Or jogging. Or video games. Or snowboarding. Or snoring.
2.
My church. That picture is actually taken at church a month or two ago. The mister and I help out with the Baptism ministry once a month. I love my church.
3.
Well, obviously, I am thankful for my family. My mom, dad, brother, older sister, twin, two nieces, and three nephews. We really have a good time together. Lots of laughter. See Teddy Bear reference.
My family is comfort to me. Hugs and relaxing. Food. Games. Laughing.
I’m thankful my parents are still together. And in love.
4.
My school. I love my job. I am so blessed to have a classroom of my own on the grade level that I love, at a wonderful school in an amazing location.
Mostly, I am thankful for my girls at school. I would die without my girls. They let me be myself. Our lunches and get togethers and chit chats save me. I am super super super thankful for Laurie, Heather, Stephanie, Kristy, Alicia, Natalie, Meghan, and Nicole.
5.
Sydney. Awwwww. I am just so thankful that she is still going strong and is still here with us 16 months after we lost Foster. She makes me so happy. She can also be very naughty and that can drive me crazy, but still. I wuv her. Even when she waits until I’ve sat down on the couch, gotten comfy under a blanket, and sighed a big sigh . . . Only to slam the back door blinds against the window in a big ole temper trantum because I should have known she needed to go outside. Oh, and did I mention she has a doggy door? Turns out, my niece and I are the only ones using it.

Blogging. TpT. Hadar at Miss Kindergarten. Love this girl and our newfound friendship.
There.
I’m thankful. ๐

Hi there! Love your blog! I am also a teeny tiny teacher so it is nice to have someone to relate to. I pin all those short people problems on pinterest just so I know I am not alone in my shortness. Sydney is so cute! Love the pic! My blog is going to have a 100 follower giveaway and I was hoping you would be willing to donate an item. I love your blog and it would rock my world to have you be a part of our giveaway. Thanks for all your fun to read posts!

Hello Kristin-Dear:
I am sure I will only be one out of three-hundred-seven-or-so that mentions my thankfulness for you–but it will still be true. Thanks for bringing laughter into the Blog-O-Sphere. Thanks for not noticing the preponderance of hyphens in this comment. Thanks for being my sweet BlogBuddy!

With all of the stress in teaching and all of the things/people that frustrate us, we are all thankful for your humor. Thank you for making us laugh and for reading our minds and saying what we are all feeling and thinking. You may be teeny, tiny but you are a HUGE blessing to us all.
I hope one day to meet you when you come to Texas. =)
Hugs,
