I may be too tired to be grateful tonight. A certain little girl around here has slept very, very poorly this week. She can't help it that she's sick, but still...
But I will give it a shot.
Today I am grateful for my children, for their sweet hugs and soft skin.
I am grateful for my dog, patient and loving and snuggly warm.
I am grateful for the sunshine on snow.
I am grateful for opportunities to learn from my amazing colleagues, to share ideas and complaints, stories and hopes, laughter and knowledge and commiseration.
I am grateful for my husband, shepherd of this family, taking children to zoos and stores, through naps and playtime, and having dinner on the table when I got home at 6:30.
I am grateful for days that, though long, are smooth, and good.
I am grateful tomorrow is Friday.
Savings today:
Avoided stores again today. Score.
Not so much I can do about needing to fill up my gas tank. If I can locate a GetGo on my route to or from anywhere, I can start working the whole Giant Eagle system to my advantage...
Today, I cashed in the savings bonds given to me at age 4 by my grandmother. While not a life-changing amount, it is a pleasant windfall and I am, as we speak, debating the extent to which I should spend or save it. Kid's college accounts? Personal savings? Vacation Fund? Dyson?
These are the decisions that keep me up at night.
