Lots Of Things To Be Grateful For

Diana who gives me a hug every now and then and tells me she loves me and loves working with me, calm and compliant students which makes everyone else calm and everything work, tins of tuna in my drawer for when I forget my lunch, the postal worker who realised how irate and psycho I would get if he hadn't passed my passport application because of my Maltese birth certificate which by the way had absolutely nothing wrong, the tiler who is tiling our house who worked Sunday and today to finish the tiling, and lastly but not least, Dave for sorting the misunderstanding with Zoe's teacher in regards to Zoe's role in the play at her drama club because if I had called her it wouldn't have sounded as polite and not ended as well. Lots of things to be grateful for today.

Home

Home is what I am grateful for, as I would rather be at home with my family than anywhere else.

Surprised Faces

Headache tablets, because I had a headache, veggie burgers and onion rings because we were hungry so we stopped at Hungry Jacks, petrol stations because we were low on fuel, ice creams because Zoe fancied one, and surprised faces because that is what I did, surprise mum with a visit so I could take her to the hospital for her tests today. These are what I am grateful for.

Healthy Heart

The day went well today at work as the kids were fantastic which was great up until around 2.15 when I thought I was having some type of heart attack. A trip to the hospital and a few tests told me otherwise. Turns out I may have had my worst anxiety attack yet. Not a nice feeling and a little scary. So today I have to be grateful that I have a healthy heart.

Could This Day Have Gotten Any Worse

Today, would have been the worst day I have had at work in quite a while. I can't go into details about why, but it was mad, mad, mad, quite stressful, made me feel very tense, I had no recess break, half my lunch break and missed out on most of my planning time. But, I remained positive, which I am grateful.

More Things To Be Grateful For

I am grateful when there is no frost on my car windscreen in the mornings, as if there was I would have to run back to the house and get a bucket of water to tip over my windscreen to defrost it, which then in turn would make me a little bit later than I already am. I am grateful when one of the other staff members at work turn the heating on in my classroom, because it is nice and warm when I get in. I am grateful for the water fountain  at work which gives me nice, cool, clear and fresh water, because I love drinking water, and other than wine, that is all I drink. I am grateful for Julie at work because she noticed me looking a little sad and asked me if everything was alright. I am grateful for the PD about Mathletics that I went to this afternoon because it will enable me to help my students to learn better. I am grateful for the sandwich press, which I purchased for a mere $15 from Kmart, as it toasted my Pane De Casa bread with cheese, feta and spinach perfectly. I am grateful for leftovers from yesterday because it meant that we could eat them tonight. And lastly, I am grateful for my electric blanket because I know that when I retire into my bed for the night, it is going to be nice and warm.

So Many Things To Be Grateful For

Oh what to be grateful for?????? A nicely cooked home made pizza, last night at friends? A warm bed to curl up into when it's cold at night? Food in the pantry to eat when we are hungry? Plastic boxes to pack our clothes into? The telephone, so we can keep in touch with family and friends? Refreshing water out of the tap? Warm and loving hugs from Zoe? Internet, to keep us amused and updated? Or the gas heater in the lounge room that is keeping me warm at the moment?

So many things to be grateful that I am unable to pinpoint just one for today!
