the way this morning has been going
has put me in real need of doing a grateful friday post...
a friday-i-love...
a friday-remind-me-of-all-that-is-good
because this morning has been so bad.

first.
a quick vent of the bad:
8's getting in trouble at school for not
staying in the same place
in lineup for the bathroom
and apparently he had already rec'd two pushpins
(their "warning" system) which no one saw fit to let
us know about...i have no problem with discipline
but i would like to know about it before it reaches
detention...it annoys me when people preach parent
interaction but then don't hold up their end.

then, the small things:
pms-cranky, still cluttered house, cold feet, bills,
missing nail clippers, no milk, slight headache AGAIN,
8 missing his hat and gloves, 12 forgetting to wear her
boots home and having to walk to school in her indoors,
husband's computer just stopped working.

and now...
my friday i love...friday i'm grateful.

- pink tinged clouds this morning
- it's friday
- the car is full of gas
- bought a new journal in anticipation of doing this
(which maybe, i will get at on the weekend)
- tomato juice, ice cold with a smattering of salt and pepper
- no shovelling...yet anyway...
- the thought that even on a rotten morning...things could
be so much worse...to remind myself of that.

happy friday to you...
