Thankful thursday
Well, i'm having a horrible few weeks with work lately, so i'm not in such a great mood --- im just trying to be thankful to have a job. but no matter how much i tell myself that lately, its not enough.
I'd be thankful if we won the lottery...then i could find something that was more fun/less stressful, even if it meant less pay.
I'm thankful for ziggy dealing with my crazy b*tchiness because of my job lately, and for my wonderful mom.
I'm thankful that my sister, BIL and niece will be home in under a week!!!!

Re: Thankful thursday
I too am in a bad mood. Chris and I fought this morning....a carry-over from last night. So that's always a fun way to start off the day.
I suppose I'm thankful that we're moving in 3 days....though we still haven't packed a single thing at MIL's yet. I will yet again be skipping spin class tonight so that I can pack.
Ugh. Can you tell I'm in a bad mood?!
I'm thankful that this stupid summer class will be over in a week + a day. I am so over it.
I am thankful the fetal echo showed no problems with baby's heart. While it doesn't rule out every single kind of heart defect, it does rule out the major, life-threatening ones. I know that even if baby DOES have a heart problem like me, it won't be something we can't handle.
I hope your days get better Kim and Lauren!
I am thankful that today is my last real day of work for the summer! We have one more day with kids tomorrow, but it will only be a few and a pd day on Monday then summer begins!!! Oh and DH and I booked a last min trip to Cancun
I wish the nest had a "like" button! That is great news!! One of my nieces was born with coarctation of the aorta, and 2 fairly sizable holes. However, that was a thousand times better than what they & all the docs thought it was going to be (hypoplastic left heart syndrome). And she's now a completely fearless and crazy 11 year old
I am thankful that it is sunny today (even though I am sitting in an office without windows now). I am thankful that in a few short weeks (or maybe a couple of months) we will be moving into a new building and I WILL have windows in my office.
That's so fun!!! I'm jealous!! When do you guys leave and for how long?
I'm thankful for my good memory. Just got a call for a teaching interview. If I didn't have my good memory, then I wouldn't have recognized the principal's name- this is the same principal I interviewed with in 2009 who was very rude and he left the interview to take calls from his wife. That was after telling me that I would be a minority in this school and that he didn't think I could handle some of the kids who as eigth graders may be taller/bigger than me. I turned this interview down, but hope that I will get some calls from other schools.
I'm thankful that my husband works as hard as he does so that I was able to substitute last year and may be just subbing again this year. He is also supportive of me signing up to get my library science endorsement (on a very part time basis).
I'm thankful that we are going on a free vacation in two weeks. (Though I may have to remind myself to be thankful while we're on the vaca!) We'll be spending a week with the ILs as we are driving to DC and sharing a house with them. It will be a very itinerary based trip (which H and I are not really fans of having an itinerary). But it's a trip away, and with me not having a full time job lined up for fall, I really am thankful.
We leave on the 28th and are going for a week! I can't wait.
I'm a little late, but I'm thankful that DH and I are doing laundry and changing the sheets today. Normally I'm a huge stickler for this and do it on a regular basis, but with everything going on the last few weeks it's really been let go. I hated going to bed every night on those dirty sheets. blech.
I am also thankful that I got the interview that I did on Wednesday. Even if I don't get the job, the interview was great practice. Also, that's more than a lot of people in my class have gotten.
my read shelf:
Aw, thanks
I was born with a VSD & valve leaks, so any baby I have has a 10% chance of having the same or a similar congenital heart defect (most healthy people it's like <1%). I had to have surgery at 18 months and go to the cardiologist my whole life, and we were praying very hard that this baby would have a better, healthier life than Mommy. While I am completely "normal" now, it doesn't keep docs from freaking out when they read my records. I was just hoping so hard that this kid would have it easier than me, whcih we are 95% certain it will.
And I am glad your niece is so healthy after all that! Next time you see her, give her extra hugs from a fellow heart surgery kid. (I am sure they had to go in close up the holes, yes? She probably has a smaller scar than me though, technology being what it is now.)
She had surgery when she was a week old to correct her aorta and close up the holes. She had a second surgery a week later b/c the clips they used to tie the ribs back to the sternum broke. Her scar is decent size (at least 6 inches? maybe 10). She will probably need a valve replacement in 5-10 years, but, other than that, everything is fine!
