Things I am Thankful Thursday (on a Wednesday) #15


Alright, since I won't be around tomorrow night, due to a much needed girls weekend, I figured I would go ahead and do this tonight!

1) I am thankful that I have 2 weekends in a row to look forward to! This weekend is a girls weekend with some of the girls I work with, and the next weekend is the hubby's weekend off so I will get to see him! :) I cannot wait for either weekend!

2) I am soooo thankful that next week is my last week of classes, then the week after is finals! So close I can taste it! Of course, that's just til summer, but I'll take it!!!

3) I am thankful that I got an A on the latest paper we turned in for English! I wrote it very last minute (yes, I am a procrastinator) and used my cell phone for some of my sources for the paper. So, I am thankful that it turned out so well!

4) I am thankful that next month, a friend of mine will be here for a few days! Will be nice to catch up with her in person! :)

5) And, again, as usual, I am so thankful for my mother-in-law! She is watching my dogs for me this weekend so that I can go on this girls weekend! Of course, she lives where we are headed, which makes a difference, but if she couldn't have watched them, I'd be sol on this trip...

Things I am Thankful Thursday (on a Friday again) #14


Sigh, rough night tonight. Last night I went to bed early cause I had an early day today, and my blog just happened to slip my mind. Here goes!

1) I am thankful the my hubby enjoys this new job of his! It's always nice to have a better paying job, but it's great when you actually like it too! He has long hours, but as long as he likes it, and it's paying bills, we'll take it!!

2) I am thankful, once again, that I do NOT have children. I LOVE kids. I do, but with school, and work, I just don't know how well I would handle it! I know it's possible, but I'm glad that I don't have to deal with that...

3) I am thankful that (hopefully) after this semester, in order to get my Associates at least, all I'll need is 3 more science classes! That's what I was told, as long as I pass my Chem this semester... So that's why the hopefully is in there... :)

4) I am thankful for all the girls I work with! I'm pretty sure I've said that before, but they are just all so great! Can't wait til next weekend to be taking a weekend trip with them!

5) I am, as usual, and quite often, thankful for my awesome husband! I have had a rough week all the way around, hadn't gotten to talk to him in a couple of days, so close to the end of school I can taste it, yet it's still far enough away I'm frustrated. I'm getting sick again. It's just been rough! So when I finally got to talk to him, I chewed him out. But instead of him being an ass back to me (which I fully deserved) he was nice about it and told me he'd call me later cause he was still busy. First thing I did was apologize. I did feel bad. And I knew I shouldn't have taken out my day/week on him. But I'm lucky enough to have someone like him who was understanding and just let me vent and bitch it out...

And that's all I've got!! Sorry so late this week!!!

Things I am Thankful for Thursday #13


1) I am soooo thankful that I love this job so much, and the girls I work with!! Especially since some of us will be spending a whole weekend together at the end of the month!! :) Which I am also thankful for! It'll be nice to have a whole weekend off, having a girls weekend, getting to know them all better, relaxing, and having fun! Just a week before finals too!

2) I know I said this a couple of weeks ago, but I am again thankful that today I got to go to lunch with my father-in-law again. He lives 4 hours away, but he had a Dr appt here in town where I live. So we went and had lunch again today. I miss CA like crazy, but I do like the fact that I am closer to my parents and my in-laws.

3) Speaking of in-laws, I know I've said this many times before, but I am thankful for my mother-in-law. She is going to watch my dogs while I am on the girls weekend with the girls from work. We are going to the town where I am originally from, and that's where she lives. So I am going to drop them off with her for the weekend so she can spoil them :)

4) I am thankful that most of my finals are NOT cumulative! Which means that they won't be over EVERYTHING we've covered all semester. They'll just be over the last few sections/chapters we are going to go over. Thank goodness!!

5) I am thankful that a friend of mine is gonna be coming though here and staying with me a few days next month! Woo hoo!! :) Party time! LOL not really. But it'll be nice to have the company and be able to go do a few fun things

Things I am Thankful for Thursday #12


Here goes!!!

1) I am thankful that I AM a survivor. As many of you know (from knowing me personally, or from reading my very first blog) that I was a victim of sexual abuse. However, I have made the choice to be a survivor! I'm so grateful that I have moved on from the victim, to survivor. It's a hard, long, tedious process. But it can be done. And I have done so.

2) I am thankful that my grandfathers surgery yesterday went well. He had surgery to remove plaque from his arteries. He stayed in the CCU overnight last night, and his BP was a little high today, so they are keeping him overnight again. But, I am so glad that everything went well and that he is still alive and kicking.

3) I am thankful that I have Monday off of school AND work!! I'm soooooo excited, and can't wait to sleep in!! :) Haven't had a day off since last Friday, and Monday is my next one. But, that is also my fault. I picked up some hours here and there. Which I am also thankful for those hours. But boy am I ready for Monday!!

4) I am thankful that my friends that live in the Dallas area are safe, and that none of their apts, or belongings were damaged in the tornadoes a couple of days ago.

5) I am thankful that it is almost summer time! Summer is my favorite season!! I'm not looking forward to the heat here in TX, but I am soooo ready for no classes, summer eats/treats, and activities! Soooo much fun to be had in the summer! :)
