Thankful Thursday

Let's here what everyone is thankful for today.

I'm thankful that I have a toddler that mostly entertains himself when I'm trying to not get sick on the couch.

Thankful that I'm taking a personal day tomorrow and get a 3 day birthday weekend

I'm thankful that I haven't yet caught MH's cough/fever (knocks on wood).

I'm also thankful for our BMB. I feel like people are pretty chill here and are good at supporting each other and sharing opinions etc. without being unnecessarily confrontational.

Happy Early Birthday @hullabalou

Happy birthday @hullabalou !!

I am thankful for you guys. I know things started off not so hot but I'm thankful for your forgiveness and I truly love getting to know each and everyone of you and to learn more and more each day. THANK YOU!

I got out of work early today so that I can run errands kids free! I love my babies, but this show runs so much faster when I can just run in and out of places.

Happy birthday @hullabalou!
I'm thankful for Sonic blasts.

Thankful for enough energy to get the kids out to the pool today and it wasn't even crowded, uuuugggghhh we needed that situation today and it was wonderful.

@hullabalou Happy Birthday!~

I'm thankful for my manager for being understanding, and letting me work from home today since I wasn't feeling my greatest.

Soashwifey · August 2017

Thankful that tomorrow is my first ob appointment and ultrasound. Praying for a healthy baby and a good first appointment.

Thankful for my students this year, who - so far- are very chill and pretty much just do what they are told, ask good questions, and seem at least vaguely interested in the things I'm saying. This was truly a gift during this time.

I'm thankful for today's overcast. It's so hot here in AZ, the clouds are a nice reprieve from the blazing sun.

becausescience · August 2017

@DDRRT1982 Kid-free errands are the best. I need to get groceries and am debating on waiting for the weekend so I can go alone.

I'm so thankful for DH. He is picking up major slack while I basically live on the couch.

jeb0927 · August 2017

I am thankful for daycare. Nearly every day for the last 3 years.

Also, my H, who has been really taking the load of parenting and house stuff for me, without me asking.

ShawnnaO · August 2017

@antoto do you work at a year round school? Or are kids back in school already?

Im thankful for my daughter, who started sleeping through the night the day we found out we were pregnant and hasn't stopped since. That's my girl

wisewitch222 · August 2017

I'm thankful for my mom, who makes dinner almost every night while we stay here until the new house is ready, which means I don't have to cook during this period where I hate food.

justkeeptrying · August 2017

I'm thankful for my dad. He dropped all his plans yesterday to come watch DS when I had an unexpected ultrasound scheduled. And then we went to their place for supper. So I'm also thankful to both my parents for making a home cooked meal because they know I've been struggling to feed my family lately due to "morning" sickness.

babybluu · August 2017

Today I'm thankful that I was able to complete and entire work day! I haven't worked in 3 weeks because of how sick I've been, and had to go back today. I was even training a new employee and still made it all the way through the day. I'm so so thankful

[Deleted User] · August 2017

@ShawnnaO Yep I teach at a year round school so while we do get a summer break, it's short. We've been back for three weeks now.

kalawa · August 2017

I'm thankful for my mom. She has been helping me out so much these few weeks. She has even driven 3hrs to come help me. I need to get her some flowers I think...

LiveNLove44 · August 2017

Today I'm thankful for stretchy pants (and side ruching)

ShawnnaO · August 2017

@antoto that's really cool! I've always liked the idea of year round school but I've never gone to one. Do you think it works better than the usual school schedule where there's 3 months off for summer? I imagine students retain information a little better?

I believe that studies broadly have shown that year round schools are better for retention. I don't have anything to really compare it to because it's the only school I've ever taught at!
