Comforting Flavor.
August 30, 2017
Day 334
This morning was cool. I cannot wait for fall weather to arrive.
Today was a good day at school.
There are beautiful wildflowers surrounding the school where I work. It's a lovely place to be.
I love getting my kids up in the morning. I feel so blessed to be able to go into two bedrooms and wake up my children each morning.
Adelyn starts ballet class tomorrow. I'm excited for her.
I love peeking into Tobin and Phia's classroom during the day. They always look like they are doing very important work. They take K-4 very seriously.
I started reading The Phantom Tollbooth to my 3rd graders. Every time I read that book, I remember how brilliant and rich it is.
My husband loves me so much. When he comes home, the first thing he does is hug me for a long time.
My dad called me tonight. I love when my dad calls me.
My mom called me tonight. I love when my mom calls me.
I have soup for lunch tomorrow. I love soup. Especially homemade chicken noodle. There is no more comforting flavor in the world than chicken soup.
Tomorrow is Thursday which means the next day is Friday which means the next day is Saturday. I'm excited for Saturday.
Thankful.

What if this is pretty easy?
August 29, 2017
Day 333
This morning, I woke up for the first day of school, and it was raining. I love when it rains on the first day of school. It makes me feel cozy. I think God sent the rain for me.
While Matt and I were doing the dishes after dinner tonight, we got to talking about the time when we were just newly married and living in Lorton in our first home together. At the time, we thought we had it rough. We were in school, and we both had poor paying jobs. We set goals to make it exactly where we are today, and we made it. But when we were thinking back on things tonight, we realized, we really didn't have it rough at all. We went to school. We went to our jobs. We paid our rent. We went to Giant every night to get food to make for dinner. And we just hung out together and played with our dog, Roxy. We realized tonight that that was actually pretty easy. Then I had a thought: what if what we think is tough now is actually pretty easy, too?
I like the way the raindrops look while standing under a big light in a parking lot at a grocery store.
I love the way Higbee opens up the closet door to get all of his toys out to play with at night.
I had chicken soup for lunch today and it was lovely. Soup is my favorite.
Matt's mom made us a delicious dinner tonight. Chicken curry, rice, biscuits, and a dessert. She is thoughtful and wonderful. She always has been.
I had a good first day of school today. So did Adelyn, Tobin, Casey, and Sophia. It makes me happy that they were all happy today.
Today was a good day.
Thankful for a good Tuesday. Thankful for air in my lungs. Thankful for raindrops. Thankful for children to bathe and kiss goodnight. Thankful for a bed to share with the man who loves me. Thankful for sound walls to keep us safe. Thankful that we have all the things we need. Thankful for good food to cook for my family. Thankful for water to drink. Thankful for kisses and hugs and cuddles. Thankful for just way too many things than I deserve to be blessed with.
Thankful.

Last day of summer vacation.
August 27, 2017
Day 331
Today was a good last day of summer vacation. We were busy, but we were together so it was good. We went to Trader Joe's, Costco, and Wegman's. On Sunday. I think Sundays are the busiest days in grocery stores. I'm excited to meet my students and their parents tomorrow. We have a meet and greet tomorrow, and the first day of school is on Tuesday. I'm looking forward to getting back into a good routine. Church was amazing this morning. The sermon was exactly what I needed to hear. We went to Patty's for dinner, and it was delicious. My parents came over and brought all kinds of treats and goodies for the little ones. My dad brought over a grab bag of little things he has been collecting over the years and gave it to them to share. There were things like stress balls, magnifying glasses, flashlights. The kids were delighted. Matt helped me clean the house because we have a showing tomorrow. We have decided that if we don't sell our house by October 31st, we are taking it off the market. It's in God's hands. It always has been. If we sell, great. If not, great because we still love our home. I went over to Steph's house today to sign Adelyn up for ballet. Steph and Mario are paying for Adelyn to take ballet for a year. Which is an amazing gift! After we signed Adelyn up, we talked for a bit. It's always good to talk with Steph. She is my friend turned family member.
Thankful for a great Sunday. Thankful for cooler weather. I cannot wait for cold air. Thankful for the best family. Thankful for so many blessings that I could never list them all. Thankful for our home. Thankful for a brand new school year coming up. I love brand new things. Today was a grand day, and I am thankful I had it to enjoy.
