My week started out pretty good.  Call me crazy, but I actually like Mondays because I feel like they're a fresh start, a reboot, if you will....

So, yeah...I think I'll keep this short and sweet.  Suffice it to say (per the post title), we had some ups and downs this week.  But I'm going to end it with some Gratitude!

I am grateful for...
  • Teachers who want to help your child succeed.
  • The parenting team that is me and Mark.
  • A good deal on yummy steaks.
  • TV shows that make me LOL.
  • My aptitude for administrative tasks.
  • People who turn an off-handed remark into a kind gesture (Mark mentioned in passing to a co-worker that he needed to pick up cat food. The co-worker gave him some.)
  • A sale on shoes when I need to buy some.
  • A change in the middle school bus schedule which means Cami gets home sooner.
  • Finding boots to wear to a wedding tomorrow (that I can continue to wear through the winter).
  • AJ's little neighborhood friend who helped him clean up his room.

"I feel a very unusual sensation - if it is not indigestion,
I think it must be gratitude."

So how was your week? What GOOD things occurred?
Link up and make me smile!


Linking up with The Fence, honestly, so maybe more people can know about the wonders of TGIF!

  2. Way to not let some bad news bring your whole week down!

    Oh and perhaps you should post a picture of said boots because I am in need of some new ones and I am also in need of some inspiration.

  9. Having a friend helping you clean your room is great. I always wanted to have that as a kid, but it never worked out. ;-) Maybe my room was too messy? Sigh.

  10. Cool idea! I also want to see the boots...I have only owned one pair that I liked and they eventually died a horrible death. ;-)
