Life is complicated. We always seem to have plans that don't end up turning out how we planned.
I have another part time job. My husband and I work opposite hours. We each spend most of our "free time" watching our daughter. I do the majority of my Macaroni Kid work after I get home from my other job, when my husband and daughter are in bed. I always have these grand plans for how much I'm going to work on Macaroni Kid at night and then something gets in the way. I stay at my other job later than planned. I end up with a migraine (all too often, may I add). I'm completely exhausted. I often find myself frustrated at a lack of time.
Tonight when I got home, I heard my husband snoring and my daughter's little feet running in and out of her bed. At first, I thought, "Oh no. Just one more thing to keep me from working." But then my daughter opened her door and I saw her little face light up, so excited to see me home from work--something that usually doesn't happen. My husband puts her to bed more often than I do. Tonight I got to give her a big hug and a big kiss and read stories with her. She fell asleep half way through the second book. Tonight I am thankful for my family and that I got to put my daughter to bed (albeit for the second time tonight) an extra night this week.
I am working on some great holiday giveaways and a free personalized letter from Santa for your kids. But today is Thanksgiving and my plans didn't turn out how I planned. So you'll have to wait a little bit longer.
What are you thankful for today?
