So much for blogging a thanks each and every day! Good thing there aren't too many weekends left before Christmas Eve to distract me :-)
December 11: Naps.
I took my first nap in MONTHS on Saturday! I "slept in" about 30 minutes later than I get up during the work week, made some coffee and started in on a grant report...Justin got home later that morning from a side job and I helped him make a lunch of Fried Chicken, jalapeno potatoes and fried eggs. After cleaning up the kitchen, we started in on other parts of the house & then it was time for the K-State/Loyola game. Within minutes, Justin was asleep in his "thrown" and I curled up on the couch under a blanket...a few minutes after the second half started I could feel my eyes getting heavy! I really didn't do anything that would wear me out but I still dozed off for about 20 minutes :-) Nothing like the 2-3 hour naps I prefer but a nap is a nap...I will never complain!
December 12: Patience.
This is something that I don't have much of...just ask Justin ;-) There are days when I can roll with the punches...but then there are days when everyone is wasting time and moving like snails. This latter scenario is what usually tests my patience and I'm glad I have learned to realize that. But I am thankful for what little patience I do have because there's nothing worse than losing your cool over absolutely nothing :-)
December 13: Caffeine
Yes, I realize that may seem inappropriate to some...but caffeine has become my best friend! On a side note, I learned NEVER to say that in front of my 6th Graders because they LOVE pointing out that caffeine can be bad for a person ;-) Anyhow, back to the subject at hand--there's times I can't get through the day without it and today was one of those days. Last night, I was still wide awake at 11:30pm for no reason at all. I must say, the morning wasn't as bad as I thought it would be but it wasn't easy either. Things went pretty well until my coffee wore off around 12pm and I hit rock bottom...but guess I'll just have to go to bed early tonight to make up for everything!

I, too, am extremely thankful for caffeine, patience, and naps (or at least the thought of naps) - in that order. :) It's a continual-caffeine day for me!
