Friends and Family

Friends who you can call in a pickle and they figure it out for you. Friends who will keep a secret and come hang out for a birthday party. Family who will drop everything even if they don't have a bed set up to sleep in that night to come celebrate. Friends and Family who will spend their time making food and setting up a Suprise party for Jon.

My Job

I love my job. I love what I do and the people I work with. I really love how flexible it is. If my kids are sick I don't have to go in. Or I can go in later or come home earlier. Whenever Jon's schedule changes I can arrange mine to work with his. I am grateful for my job.

Gentlemen

I went to fill up my flat tire this morning and an older gentlemen was there filling up his tires. When he finished he filled up mine. He checked and filled all of them. That was very sweet of him.

FALL LEAVES

Particularly the fall leaves over main street right now. Drive down it around 5:15pm in the next few days. Hurry or they will all be gone. It is so pretty!

To Do lists

I really do like me a good to do list. It gives me a sense of purpose and meaning. I've recently gotten sick of having every room in my house dirty. So I have assigned 1 room each day
Monday-bedroom
Tues-Laundry room
Wed Bathroom
Thurs-Living/Dining room
Fri/sat Kitchen.
On these days I will concentrate only on these rooms. Vacuum, Moulding, mirrors etc. Granted this is on top of the dishwasher loading, laundry doin and cleaning a pathway to walk on throughout the rest of the house. Then I will have one clean room a day. I am grateful for a home to clean and my things in it that make it dirty.

Good Health and a Good night sleep

It would be nice if I could be grateful for something when I have it and not in the absence of it. Maybe this blog will help with that.

I think My family and I are pretty healthy but I've had a cough for the past week. It is really annoying. I've also not been able to sleep for the past month. This is very weird for me cause I'm the queen of sleep. The pinched nerve in my back makes it painful to cough breath and sleep and those are all things i hold high on my list of priority's when I am sick. So the things I am grateful for are they safe peaceful nights sleep that I am so used to. Breathing in without shooting pain rolling down my back and going a few hours without coughing.

When I picked up Coen from the babysitters today she told me a Coen funny.

Kassie-"Coen here is your popcorn ball"
Coen- "I don't like those they have to many calories"
