Hello 2014

A new year, a new start, a new beginning.

We got to spend the day together, which was nice. No plans, no agenda, just good, football, cleaning, and naps (all in big-kid beds!). Charley "helped" me with dinner, as she does most days, and while I have to admit it makes things take longer (especially when she repeatedly touches raw chicken), I really do enjoy it.

Today was a very good start to what I hope will be a great year.

Day 28

Today I am thankful for our little family. The three (and a half!) of us are a little unit, and while it can be hard to be far from family, and it can be hard when Daddy has to work on a holiday, I know that right now we're where we're meant to be, because we are together.

Day 27

Today (again) I am thankful that I have the job I do. I got to take Charley in to work to help decorate the office, then take her to daycare so she could have fun at her Thanksgiving party, and then we got sent home because of snow. So now I get to wrap presents and do crafts.

Best. Day. Ever. Wait, lies. It would be better if Keith weren't working.

Day 26

Today I am thankful for a weather delay! I got to spend an extra 40 minutes with my favorite little girl (who was redic cute today BTW) and it was great. The only thing that would have made it better was if I made waffles. 

Day 25

I am thankful of the means I have. I can get a note that says Charley needs wipes and run to Target (in my warm coat, with my gloves in, in my car) and just buy them without having to think about it, or budget for it, or plan around it. 

Day 24

Today I am thankful we figured out a way to get all our Christmas stuff up. We don't have a tin if space right now, but we moved stuff around and made it work, and it's gorgeous. Plus, Charley loves it, which makes it that much better!

Day 23

Today I am redicilously thankful I don't work retail. The holiday traffic is picking up, and when I mentioned it being busy at Michael's today the poor girl said sorry. Then I felt terrible, because I didn't mean it in a bad way at all, I was just honestly surprised that it had already started and I hadn't realized it. But then I remembered what it was like to be out there and having to deal with the crazies and the people looking for deals and stressing out, and I am so happy I don't have to deal with it anymore!
