Thanks: Days 5-7

Day 5: Fridays! Yes, I am so thankful for this day. I look forward to it every Monday morning when my alarm goes off. Hopefully one day I will be blessed with a job that I enjoy, and am not as focused on making it to Fridays. But for now, Friday at 215 is my release to freedom.

Day 6: (tie) Fightin' Texas Aggie Football & wonderful friends. Yes, for this day I couldn't choose just one. I mean, my boys beat Oklahoma, AND managed to earn a spot in the BCS, AP, and Coaches polls. WHOOP! Now I just hope that I can continue to be thankful for the next 3 weeks. My other is of course friends. I don't know where I would be without them. And while I fight the depression of being away from some friends, I am so greatful for the ones God has put in my life here. Military wives that are in the same boat, or just a crazy group of moms that I was blessed to be introduced to. Nothing relives stress like an evening with friends. (and I am ready to do it again!)

Day 7: Naps. I am pretty sure I thought of something better than this at some point during the day, but after my hour and a half of lying down/ napping, this is all I could think of. Since Logan did not grasp the concept of the ending of Daylight Savings, I was up at 6 (bleh) and could not stay awake the whole day (Joel playing classical music in the car rides didn't help- and I have no clue why he was doing it). But I got to curl up with the cats and take a nice little nap later in the afternoon, and it was very nice. Maybe this Sunday I can actually sleep in
