Thanking Tuesday

I've decided to be thankful for those things I'm not fond of head-on. Bring on the wind. Bring on Tuesdays. 

3:00  AM - wake to see J off

7:00 AM -Oops! I got up late. Maddie is already dressed and ready. Wow. 

7:15 AM - breakfast for me and girls; Avery gets up. Finally. 

7:30 AM - still working on my makeup and all of our bedheads

7:45 AM - out the door. Whew!

8:00 AM - must be ready to meet with elementary school principal regarding her laptop

9:00 AM - must be at the administration bldg for a technology meeting

11:45 AM - leave early for presentation at elementary. 

12:05 PM - realize that I'm way early for meeting. I jet off for a quick lunch. 

12:25 PM - back at elementary and present to the sweet kindergarteners. 

1:10 PM - leave fun, small children; en route to bigger, more sarcastic children at HS. 

1:20 PM - meet with co-worker; discuss weekend briefly

1:30 PM - bell rings; 13 broadcast students pile in and begin working on their projects

2:00 PM - realize my lesson plans are STILL late

2:30 PM - class almost over; vice principal surprise visit

2:45 PM - break free to make it to the elementary school once more for Tuesday Tech Training

3:00 PM - check on Madison and her friend. Homework is a must!

3:15 PM - give my teachers a wealth of information about technology, professional development and skype. 

3:45 PM - leave finally after individual questions. 

3:50 PM - Avery is dropped off by my BFF Kim. 

3:52 PM - time for the BOOKFAIR. At least I get to miss tonight's crowd. 

4:15 PM - time to run to the store

4:30 PM - one errand left, but it can WAIT. 

5:00 PM- Finally home. *sigh*

Was this day crazy? Maybe. Was it abundant? Maybe. 

On this Tuesday, I took time to breath, albeit in between stop lights and slow trash men, but breaths all the same.  I took time to acknowledge my gratitude for my job.  

The most impactful moment of my day? The second I found out the news that a former student was found dead in her bedroom early this morning. 

Stop. 

I'm breathing. Have a job. My girls. Our health. All that we truly need. 

Tuesdays are full of blessings, after all.
