Today I am Thankful for...

...a "normal" day. No school delays or early releases in sight. This means I can do my job without having to scramble to get kids picked up or be home early or deliver kids at weird times. I love the structure of a normal schedule.

...for snow days. I really do enjoy the moments that happen with my kids when the schedule is different. I got to cuddle and nap with Emma. I got to have real conversations with the boys about telling the truth. I love the sound of the kids playing together, before the grumpiness and tiredness of the day has set in.

...for love. This weekend is Valentine's Day. And while I really am not a huge fan of the holiday (for various reasons), I do like how it forces us to say "I love you" more. How it causes us to stop in the midst of our crazy lives and remember the warm fuzzies and butterflies. I know that for many people though, this is a very difficult holiday. So in spite of the commercialism, I will say thank you for Valentine's Day. For I am blessed to love and be loved.
