Today I am grateful for a nice weekend. Filled with rest and laughter. Filled with the opportunity to be away from my telemarketing job. And still a family viewing of Coraline to look forward to this evening.

Today I am grateful that things are improving a bit at work.  Granted I still hate my job. But, we are now pitching a different product.  One that I don’t feel so morally ambiguous about and one that I feel has a higher earning potential.  Since both programs earned me commission on top of my hourly I can illustrate that easily by telling you that I earned $40 on the first program in 8 days and $80 in 2 days on the new program.

Today I am grateful for Taekwondo. Miss Artistic had talked about quitting. Her concerns were addressed by the couple who run the school, she was encouraged, and not only did she decide to continue but both she, and Princess Nibbles, rocked their belt testing. I am now the proud parent of two blue belts.

Today I am grateful for our trip to the mall. Granted I spent more than I meant to (much more unfortunately*), but Princess Nibbles wanted a “new look” for 4th grade – a look that is a blend of hippie and rocker with further touches of punk and schoolgirl and preppy. I managed to pick up a really great sale price on a dress she’ll wear for the holidays, and of course the requisite socks, panties, and sports (read training) bras.

Today I am grateful for Miss Artistic’s friend “S”. I am grateful to her parents who welcomed my daughter to not just 1 but 2 overnights. I am grateful to having “S’s” company at belt testing and the mall. It’s so nice when you love your kids’ friends.

Blessings
