I’m thankful for my family and friends today. They’ve been so helpful as we try to sort out going to my grandmothers funeral out of state. My sister is letting us borrow her car so we can leave at 5am tomorrow instead of today with my parents, my bff and her husband are watching our dog since we had to cancel her vet appointment for the funeral and she’s due for shots so we can’t board her. A good friend of ours is babysitting DS tonight so we can still celebrate our wedding anniversary since my sister and her husband can’t anymore because of the funeral, my mechanic towed our car 1.5 hrs from where it broke down free of charge so she could fix it instead of someone else far away.
Today I’m thankful for Super Simple Songs videos and Netflix so I can set my kids in front of the iPad and get an extra hour of sleep. Now if I could just figure out a way for them to get their breakfast without destroying my kitchen...
So thankful for my mom. She is the best and has been so helpful and supportive without me even having to ask or anything. I would definitely be having a harder time without her.
Thankful for the results of my MFM appt earlier this week. Went in to check out the gigantic tennis ball sized cyst on my ovary because it's been growing at each ultrasound. My OB was getting concerned that it might be a tumor. Turns out, I just have Endometriosis and never knew it! I've never been so happy to have a condition like that!
Thankful for a decent night’s worth of sleep. I feel human again.
Also thankful I could afford to take yesterday off. I napped and cleaned and napped and cleaned. There is still a lot of cleaning and organizing left, but, other then my bathroom, I am back in my house. (I even made dinner last night! So what if it came out of a box...)
The plumber should have the sink done today, and once I clean the bathtub, I’ll be back in my bathroom too!
Also- thankful for my contractor’s help in moving furniture yesterday. He came over to try to get the sink fixed to accommodate the drain, and ended up helping me get me dining room and living room put back together.
I'm so exited for my mom. She's been wanting to be a principal for years. She had an interview yesterday for the principal of her old elementary school. She's out of town at my sister's ice skating competition and the allowed her to do it via phone. She found out today she's made it to round 2 and has an interview with the super a week from Monday. They only took the top 3 out of 14, so I know she's got a great shot. She will make an amazing elementary principal.
Thankful for my loooooong weekend. I get three days off every weekend, but they're starting renovations this weekend and it runs into next week. That plus the holiday equals 6 days off! My boss called me and asked if I wanted to work at other locations Monday and Tuesday, but I told her I scheduled appts as soon as I learned we'd be closed. I didn't tell her it was for a mani/pedi. So I'm off until next Thursday and then I get my regular three day weekend after one day at work.
Thankful to be almost done house sitting! As much as I'm enjoying the time with DH I cant wait to not be responsible for other peoples pets. The old dog were watching us Not doing well and if she gets through the next 24 hours they'll be home and can give her all the attention she probably wants from them.
Thankful it's Thurs, boss is out of town, and for my work. They're having a 'new parent orientation' at 2 today to walk us through all of the ins and outs, and I'm beyond grateful they're taking the time to do this for us. I seriously love how supported I feel as a future parent here. Events like this remind me why I work here and why I want to work hard for them. Also optimistically thankful for news of hopeful bonus in the next day or two after our earnings call? I'm so nervous. Fingers crossed!!!
@chopchop25 maybe I’ll take a look at any jobs that are posted there during my maternity leave... as I told DH a couple weeks ago when we were talking about my current job, I doubt anyone would want to hire me now at 5 months pregnant!
