It is so incredibly beautiful this morning, it should be a great Father's Day. Sunshine and mild temperatures and lovely breeze...my creek is full and everything is green and gorgeous as far as the eye can see. My petunias are off the hook and there's a hummingbird over at the arbor, drinking honeysuckle. The other birds are on the feeder and right now there is a squirrel perched on the arbor, I'm curious what his next move will be? A flying leap onto the big tree behind? It's a little theater of wildlife out here, watching the squirrel acrobats and the birds fly.

Everything will be just fine..... I am grateful for a day on the couch. I was tired and I needed it. It felt good to relax and it felt good to work on my book for a bit. I am grateful that I don't have to make dinner tonight. I am grateful that I found that advocate and can hopefully let her handle the iEP meeting. I am grateful for Sonja and the color run and a great breakfast with the kids this weekend. I think I am depressed, it's hard to do things and I feel like I'm swimming through peanut butter.
Not a gratitude post but I am tired and my mind is going in circles. I am so worried about what will happen with school, and what kind of long term effects it will have. Looking for ways to keep Maddie's spirit intact and build mine back up. I feel stuck and panicked. I don't know how to make things change.
I am grateful......... ...for a few days of girls only living at home. ...that Alan likes his new job, and has this opportunity to go away. ...that it is the home stretch for the PARCC and almost over. ....that we are having a follow up IEP meeting. ....that so many people are willing to help me when I need it. ....that Makara can babysit tomorrow.
Today I am grateful ... For my little girl's big win at the science fair-could not have come at a better time. Things do happen when you need them. Thank you, God. Thanks for the sign. I'm sorry I doubted. For a really great weekend, after a rough week. A nice date night Friday and a night to myself last night....ahhh........ For an upcoming week as a single lady. Ah.......
I am thankful..... that we found that rubric before it was too late. that Alan and I are on the same page. that I work from home. Today, I am really sad. I am feeling really defeated and bad about everything. I know tomorrow will be better, and I know my issues are relatively small, but I am sad none the less.
I am grateful..... for a fun day with friends! for recognizing that I have created a life that is as peaceful as can be, and satisfying on many levels. for red, red wine......... fun night!

The house in Plattekill is supercute, smells good, decorated beautifully. That little desk area is the perfect place to work on my book. Madeline is happy and healthy and having a fun year. I have so much to be grateful for right now!
