Day 13
Off duty jobs.
Jeremiah has been putting in some extra hours at work. Well not work but off duty jobs. I am grateful that they are available, especially this time of year. Although I wish the hours weren't so long. Jer has worked a 4 day work schedule for so long I forgot what a 5 day work week was like. I sure do like having three day weekends with him. So do the kids.
Day 14
Books.
I love to read. Suspense, drama, comedy, self help. They are all good. I am thankful that we live in a time and a place where we are able to read books. Anybody read anything good lately? I need a new book :)
Day 15
Today I am thankful that I am not single.
On our little street we have 3 single mothers. Two times there have been knocks on our door from these women asking for Jer to help them. I am so grateful that I have a partner that I trust that I can lean on and that he can lean on me.
Hi Heidi,
ReplyDeleteI'm with you about the off duty jobs. My husband has been able to pick up some jobs in the past few months and it has been a huge relief and we been able to use the money to fix some stuff in the house. I don't know about Phoenix but in Gilbert the jobs are hard to get so we have been very grateful.
I also love to read and will read anything.A book that was recommended to me and you have to read is "These is my words" by Nancy Turner. It is a mix of fiction and nonfiction of the authors family memoirs. It is written in a journal format at the prespective of her Great-Grandma. The family settled around the Douglas are in the late 1800's. It really is a great book and there are 2 more in the series. Other books and authors I enjoy are:
The Hunger Games series, my sisters keeper, the last lecture and my aunt has me hooked on the authors Faye Kellerman and Michael Connelly. I just saw that Nicholas Sparks came out with a new book but I don't remember the name of it. James Patterson is good but his writing can be a little disturbing and sexual but I do like the "womens club" series of books I just skip over the sex parts. Let me know if you find anything. Have a wonderful holiday.
