January 3

Tonight, I am grateful...

for a new episode of Parenthood
for the fastest two hours of my day, spent engrossed in sight reading and music history, the thrill of new learning and the sublime genius of Bach
for beautiful snow and easy-traveling roads, one of my favorite combinations
for a relaxed morning to ease back into my routine; workout+Kindle and then a quiet morning at school
for a clean and organized desk
for small loads of laundry
for the History Museum and the fact that my children behave so nicely when we GO somewhere
for my sunshine-girl, full of kisses and love even when she's sick
for hot tea and Hershey's kisses
for this wonderful break we've had, even in the knowing that all good things must come to an end...

Saving report:

Made coffee at home instead of stopping at Starbucks-- savings: $2.00

Will do more tomorrow...
