1. My husband: He is SOOO wonderful. We've been married for 10 years and I can honestly say life gets better every day together. We started as friends way back when, then started dating, were engaged 5 months later, waited another 7 months to get married, and now it's been 10 1/2 years. He is my best friend. I'm thankful for him because he really is my partner in every way - he shares the burdens & workload of home and raising our boys. He helps with laundry, cooking, cleaning, grocery shopping, errands, etc.
He thinks of his family first and he loves me even when I am being a brat.
2. My children: All 3 of my boys are super special to me. My oldest is a mini me - we think the same. At 8 years old he is my bookworm. I understand him pretty easily. My middle son is my little helper. Only he isn't so little anymore. He is 6 years old and full of energy ALL THE TIME! He is my little chef and animal lover. My "baby" is now 2 years old and is my little lion. He likes to roar and run. We waited for him to walk and speak for so long - and he is finally now doing both. Lately he has been working on saying, "I Wuv Mama." His daddy has been working on it with him.
3. My family: I am blessed to have parents and a sister that loves me for who I am. I don't have to be anyone that I'm not created to be. I am blessed to have gained another set of parents and siblings when I married my sweetie. Our family is close and likes to spend time together.
4. My friends: They are a wonderful support system. Isn't it nice as you look at your life to see people that met you throughout your journey?
5. My Lord: He is my everything.
6. My class: Yes, I give thanks for them even if they are giving me more gray hair this year than any other year in my teaching career. I am learning how to be even more flexible through them.
7. My coworkers: It's nice to work someplace that you can consider your fellow colleagues as friends.
8. My home: We moved into this house 9 1/2 years ago. We were newlyweds and it was just us. The house used to seem huge. "Used to" are the key words. I'm thankful that it has provided a shelter for my family as we have grown in number and our babies have become larger. Now if only we could get rid of some of the toys...
9. The blogging community: I have learned so much from all of you over the past months. I know I am a better teacher because of it all. Thank you.
10. Pinterest: Yes, I'm going to say it. I'm thankful for Pinterest. I'm thankful for the advice, ideas, crafts, recipes, etc.
I'm also thankful for Farley for hosting Currently every month. :)
I think I have my first cold of the year. At least I've been feeling this way since Thursday morning and I can't figure it out if it's the after effects of Halloween, or if it is kid germs that have infiltrated my body. I had up to 4 kids absent at a time this past week, and 2 boxes of kleenex disappeared in a day at school - so I'm guessing on a cold. Hot tea with honey for my aching throat is a winner in my book. Once my lemon tree starts sharing it's fruit that will also be a welcome addition to the hot brew.
As for my music choice:
