TGIF

The month of November is dedicated to "thankful thoughts" on facebook, but I don't often get into it on there so here are my "Thankful Friday" thoughts...
* catching mice
* a cozy warm house
* a great though stressful at times, secure job
* clean slates
* upcoming holiday food and family gathering
* Uncle J's arrival
* sun shiny days
* a jump start to holiday shopping
* friends celebrating special anniversaries
* a special friend becoming a surrogate
* fountain soda Friday with a friend
* wonderful and hard working students
* upcoming vacations
* family trips to SYR
* finding time to read on my kindle cozied up under the covers
* watching my kids play make believe together
* we are so proud of our little elfette
* Seth brought his new holiday music home to practice for his concert and it ROCKS
* people who help us when we can't do it all ourselves
* Seth and Leah's patient teachers
* family near and far
* hugs and smiles on tough days
* unexpected kind texts
* online holiday shopping
* fabulous family pictures
* playing hair salon with Leah (priceless)
* Movie night with the hubs tonight
* a dear high school friend coming into town next week
* holiday decorating approaching
* kick butt true friends who love to have fun

I could probably go on forever, but you would get pretty bored so here are a few for this week. Have a great weekend everyone.
