gee thanks...

Oh, mylanta. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. The best part about that?

Three words.

Four. Day. Weekend.

I get a breather from my usual daily grind to catch up on life in general. And my other jobs.

I am thankful for the many sources of income for my family. Really. I am. I promise I'm not trying to convince myself. There's just a lot I have to do to keep up with the part-time jobs I have.

On tap for this weekend:
  • family time all day tomorrow followed by a tryptophan coma
  • decorating the homestead for Christmas
  • going to the gym to run through the new BODYCOMBAT and BODYATTACK releases I received in the mail last week (Les Mills Christmas 4 times a year! squee!)
  • catching up on Bible reading for the 6 weeks I slacked off
  • grading student pre-tests for PSY 101
  • teaching at the gym
  • Christmas shopping!
  • plenty of naps (it is a four-day weekend after all)

But through it all, I give thanks. Thanks for the wonderful people I have in my life. Thanks for the amazing opportunities I have to grow personally and professionally. Thanks for shelter, freedom, love, and the ability to be a crazy, type-A person who has a bit of a scheduling handicap. I wouldn't have it any other way.
