Thankful Thursday!!

February 17, 2011 By JulieK

So, I probably shouldn’t start my “Thankful Thursday” post with “What’s so Thankful about it??” Right? It’s only Thursday, and I feel like I’ve been hit by a truck!! BUT in all honesty, if this crazy week is “bad” then I have a LOT to be thankful for… it’s all in perspective, right? If I look around, then I really see how very lucky I am…

In this crazy week… with book reports, dentist appointments, doctor appointments, classes, work, more classes, meetings, and a miserable winter bug visiting the house… eh, we’ve got it pretty good :)

So… I’m thankful that we live so close to friends and family that we can rely on to help out when our schedules don’t match up and both adults need to be in different places at the same time…

I’m VERY thankful that my “issues” this week seem to be the effects of a virus and not the med that is making my migraines managable… I was so afraid that I’d have to come off the new med, and honestly, my migraines have been so much better (fewer, and when I get them, I can make them go away pretty quickly… AND they don’t come back)…

Today and Tomorrow it’s supposed to be 50+ degrees… Yes indeed, something to be thankful for this snow-filled winter!!!

I’m teaching a class tonight at Ink About It (in Westford) and on Sunday, I’m teaching a class at The Crop Shop’s Winter Wonderland weekend event… I’m so excited, the ladies in the classes are always so much fun!!! I can’t wait!!!

The kiddos have been especially cute the last couple days, even though neither has been feeling great… Sean and I have been working on his big book report, and Kathryn has been making lots of little crafty projects…

I know there’s more… but I better get sorting for tonight’s class :)

Thankful Thursdays

February 10, 2011 By JulieK

Welcome to the first installment of “Thankful Thursdays!” One of my new year’s resolutions was my word of the year… Blessings…  I want to stop and be reminded daily of just how darn lucky I am, and how blessed every single day… Not an easy task when you’re tired and cranky!!! So, what better way to be reminded than to sit down at least once a week and really think about what I’m thankful for…  Most likely won’t be anything remotely prophetic :) BUT here it goes…

This week, I’m thankful for…

1. No-No school days this week!!! We actually have (so far at least, and no snow in the forecast for tomorrow) a 5 day work week!! Yeah!!! Maybe we won’t be in school ’til August!! It’s so hard to get anything finished with so many days off…

2. Forgiveness… I was able to go to 2 of the 4 “parish retreat” events this week… Fr. Michael was very inspirational and I’m very glad that I went to Sunday and Monday evening’s discussions.

3. Random things that make you laugh… Like, the Ozzy/Bieber commercial… OmGosh, cracks me up every time!!! 

4. Kathryn’s stomach bug only lasted one day… poor little monkey was feeling pretty lousy, but it went by quick…

5. Shhh… this one’s a secret… I’m afraid to jinx anything… but I have to say that the new medicine to stave off migraines is actually helping… BUT don’t tell my head that, I don’t want it to hear… I went from having 10-12 days of migraine a month (like, throwing up, multiple needs of Imitrex migraines)… to January’s 3 day’s of migraine… you read that right… THREE!!! AND each of the days, I was able to take one single Imitrex and it went away and didn’t come back!!!  Horray!!! AND… It’s February 10th and not a single migraine yet this month… shhhhhhhh don’t jinx it…

That’s about all I have at the moment… I’m having a crabby day today… See, maybe thinking of good things will help chase the crankies away!
