A few things I'm thankful for

I am thankful for my beautiful daughter Rhianna. She has had a really hard week. She got stung by a bee, and lost one of her animals in the same day. The animal she lost was her dog Maggie that stays at her Nannies and Papa's. It breaks my heart to see how much she is hurting. At times like these you wish so much you could protect her from the hurt by lying to her. I wish we could have said that Maggie was o.k., and she would be back home in a couple of days. Rhianna feels everything so deeply.

I am thankful for Rhianna's great teacher Mrs. Bridges. She has really helped Rhianna out a lot this year. She has figured out that when Rhianna gets bored, she won't stay in her seat. So she has been sending home higher level books, and worksheets home for Rhianna to do. I think that it's amazing that Mrs. Bridges takes the time to do this. By the time the first graders leave 1st grade they have to be at a level 7 in there reading, and Mrs. Bridges said Rhianna was at that level back in August. So it's been a challenge for her finding out what work to give Rhianna. I know the challenge Rhianna can be when she is bored. She gets in to everything, she is constantly on the go. So I am really thankful that Mrs. Bridges is taking the time to work with her. We had a hard time last year with her behavior it seemed everyday she was getting her light moved, which meant she wasn't following the rules.

I am thankful I get to hang around the house today! Nothing to do, it feels wonderful!

I am also thankful I have gone two days without having to wear high heels. For those of you who don't know I'm short. That leaves most of my nicer pants being at least 2-3 inches too long. So I wear heels to keep from walking on the bottoms all the time. I know I should just have the pants hemmed, lol, but heels are always a quick fix.

I am also thankful for all the wonderful people at Ridge Pointe Church. I am so thankful I found Ridge Pointe Church. I don't know where I would be right now without it.
