January 20

I am grateful for Fridays, and grateful for friends.  Grateful that our routine includes comfortable gatherings and playing, dancing children and easy companionship. Grateful for tambourines and Fat Boy Slim and the enthusiasm of our little ones.
I am grateful for a quiet bedtime and a quiet hour to make the house calm and and just a bit less cluttered.  Grateful for tea and computer time snuggled with a spaniel.  Grateful that she still loves me even if she hasn't been for a walk all week.
I am grateful for the "almost a 3 day weekend" feel that a records day on Monday gives.
I am grateful for healthy new babies joining our Orchard School family.
I am grateful for my children's little toes.

Savings today:

Bought several items on sale at Giant Eagle for our cooking adventure at school.  Savings: $3.50
Packed my lunch-- savings: $5.00
Ate our dinner swap for supper instead of ordering pizza or going out.  Savings: $20
Also, moved some money into the kids' college accounts.

Not a bad day. 

Happy Friday, all!  Stay warm.
