Thankful Thursday: Spring Break Version

My spring break is almost over.

I can't really say I am thankful for that...

I mean, I love my job.

But I have loved being home this week.

Yes, and the kids are even here. :)

But I can find some things I AM thankful for this week...

• a husband that takes care of me when I have a toothache
• a patient dog that tolerates a LOT in our house (from our kids...or one in particular)
• boiled chicken. I get two chicken meals and TONS of chicken broth from one boiled chicken
• Pinterest (most of my meal was a Pinterest meal tonight :)
• some maturing we see happening with child 3
• running into one of my former students at the park the other day. She is a junior in high school now.  Where did the time go?
• clean closets and cabinets.  I still have a lot to do but I have gotten a lot done (with the exception of today). If you had told me last year at this time that I would ever get to do any kind of household chore without constant interruption or chaos, I would have laughed. :)
• hot rolls from the oven
• the bonds between my children. I question them at times. And sometimes they seem non-existent. But many times this week I have found that they are there. They just get buried sometimes. :)
• warm weather. Not today but earlier this week.
• a dinner date with my hubby
• having my children take care of me this morning when I felt very ill
• not feeling ill any more. :)
• time with my sister and nephew/nieces
• watching my girls play with their cousin
• watching Child 1 play basketball with his cousin at the park
• Child 1's sense of humor...he is genuinely just a fun kid
• listening to Child 4 read me books
• my heating pad (for the toothache)
• medicine (called in by my dentist until I can get my tooth taken care of :)
• afternoon naps
• my ipod. I love listening to my music (a variety) during my nap
• the blooming trees

I know I could come up with more but even on spring break, I need to get a little rest.

How about you?

What are you thankful for this week?
