Whining...

So in my last post, I wrote about how last week was bad. And sadly last week's badness has simply carried over into this week. Today I have sessions until 8:30 pm. The night before Thanksgiving. The night I was hoping to be able to go and watch the balloons get blown up for the Thanksgiving day parade; the night I was hoping would finally end my misery of the last week and a half. But no, I have to do three sessions today which means over the weekend I'll need to write up the notes because notes have to be in within 72 hours. And I just don't want to! I want my dang holiday completely unadulterated with work! Growing up is so hard sometimes. Having a real job, where you have to just give of yourself and get the work done no matter what... it's dang hard! No wonder people want to be professional students! I want to be a professional student, nothing was so easy as that!

But tomorrow is Thanksgiving, where we celebrate what we're thankful for. And I am truly grateful for my job. A job where I get to put the skills I've been learning in school to work. A job where I get to help people on a daily basis, where I get to serve. A job where I can make a small difference in somebody's life. A job where I do well and am acknowledged for my successes.

I am incredibly grateful I have a husband to come home to, who listens to my freak outs, and who tells me I'm still a good person and who makes me feel better. I don't know what I'd do without him to refill me, this job kinda sucks the life out of you sometimes. I'm grateful that we're able to go through this crazy time in our lives of starting our careers and struggling through our growing pains together. I couldn't do this without him.

I'm thankful for family. We have Dan's family so close and my family is just a phone call away. I'm grateful for friends, especially girlfriends. I'm grateful for the scriptures we read daily and for the spirit they bring into my life. I'm grateful for church where I go to weekly to renew my covenants and to be filled spiritually for the coming week. I am grateful for my faith and for the inspiration I can receive.

There is so much to be thankful for, it's kinda ridiculous. What are you thankful for?
