Gratitude

1. Monday a good day, the ole man had dinner ready when I got home. I spend time with my stepson I had not seen in years, he has grown to be a handsome and kind young man.
2. Tuesday,  glad I could support my friend (Q) when she needed me, it was one the worse days of my best friend's life, her boyfriend was murdered last night while she was expecting him to come over for dinner. I spend the day with her to keep her company, we actually drive to St. George, Utah for the day...sometimes you just want to run-a-way so we did. I hate to say but I think this week won't be so nice. I'm also thankful in one word...OBAMA, watching the election results was hard on my stomach it was in knots, so glad it's over so much mud slinging.
3. Wednesday, back to work, needed to play catch after our drive yesterday. Just so thankful for my family I almost don't want to let them out of my sight. You just don't now how much time you have so enjoy every moment. Hung out with my best friend (Q) we watched Magic Mike such a silly movie, glad I'm older I rather have the real thing plus not one chocolate body...
4. Thursday, I had breakfast with another best friend (small fry) and her bestie visiting from Michigan, I had heard so much about her. She was really nice and very funny to but I didn't expect any different cause my friend is super nice...actually the nicest person I know. Checked in on my best friend (Q) she having a ok day, which is all I can ask for, she hungout with her family today. 
5. Friday, uneventful...thats what I'm grateful for. Stopped my my office, then off to teach a class. My friend (Q) that had the awful week is having another ok day...My heart aches for her.
6. Saturday, early morning OSHA class until two o'clock. Treated the kids to late lunch at the DQ $5 meal deal yea...no fries you say only onion rings...I love rings. It was nice being around my kids they are so funny. The ole man out of town for the day on business. Another ok day for my friend (Q) worried about her no breakdown yet...hmmm.
7. Sunday, my daughters 18th birthday, she is legal, I'm so proud of her. She graduates high school this year. I think she is a little worried about the grown up thing. I made zuppa toscana soup its one of her favorites. We had cake and Ice cream then she opened her gifts. We like simple birthdays in this house. Well my friend (Q) didn't have a good day but I'm glad to say she has wonderful friends who helped her through. The funeral is next week I really don't know if she will take that well but, I'll be ready to support her any way I can...

Note: I have three best friends this is serious stuff. I don't take lightly to calling people my friends, let alone best friend. So E is my childhood bestie, Q we have been besties for twelve years, and small fry four years. I love them all their personalities are so different. I am truly blessed the say I have Three Best Friends.
