Day 9 - Silence    

Day 9 of Capturing December - Something You're Reading

Today, I'm thankful for ice cream.  I've convinced my body and brain to continue functioning rationally just a little bit longer, and as a reward, as soon as the children are in bed in one hour and 12 minutes, I will be chowing down and indulging in the unnecessary calories and fat and sugar.  It's not Bluebell, but it will do.  ***Oh good grief!  My boy, with his sister whining NONSTOP in the background, climbed up on my chair (while I typed this one handed and shoveled food into my mouth with the other hand) and gave me kiss after sloppy kiss on my neck and cheek with no prompting. Wow. My agitated self really needed that sweetness.*** Ok I'm breathing a little easier now. I can do this! Also, come on 7:30!  What are you thankful for today?

Today, guys and gals, is November 9th.  And you know what that means. Day 9 of Thirty Days of Thankfulness comin' atcha! Today I'm thankful for the other part of my job -- my office job. I work as part of the office staff two days a week, and y'all, I have the privilege of working alongside some really phenomenal men and women.  And, the majority of my time in the office is spent with two of the kindest, funniest, most helpful gals.  We laugh and chat and discuss.  We are silly and serious.  We're friends.  :) This is us at last year's gala.  Aren't they gorgeous?! I was pregnant at the time, and I can definitely tell :) Anyhoo.... Today, I'm thankful for the opportunity to work in the office with some really neat people and especially thankful that I get to work in close proximity with these two sweet gals!
