I guess this week I am thankful that I am finally getting my schedule under control. Also, I am thankful that Alfredo's new work schedule is even better than it was before. Granted, I don't get one single day off with him, but at least our dropping-off and picking-up of kids from things is much easier, and we only have to worry about having someone watch the kids for a few hours a week.
I'm thankful that Giovanni seems to be liking school, and he must be doing well because I haven't received any angry calls from his teacher! He is such a smart kid and I'm glad he is getting the opportunity to get out of the house and play with other kids.
I'm thankful that Donovan hasn't had any more incidents with kids being mean at school. I got home Monday night and he was so upset because some kid called him a crybaby. It was so tough to deal with, my poor sensitive little Donovan - such a tender soul - it broke my heart to see him upset and wanting to go back to his old preschool. BUT - it seems like he has had no more problems, and is still loving kindergarten. I'm thankful I didn't have to go to school and rough up some five-year old for making my baby cry.
I'm also thankful this week for my classes. Yes, they are tough and a lot of work, but I finally feel like I am REALLY learning things that I will be using in real life. My teachers are amazing and I have been able to learn and discover so many amazing things recently. I feel like my brain is just constantly filling with wonderful information and I hope that I can retain at least some of it. I really am so lucky to be able to do what I am doing, and I hope that I can come out of this and be the best possible teacher.
On that note, I am also thankful that I am living and doing this semester's practicum in Pasco. It may seem weird to say that - I know it seems weird to me - but being here has opened my eyes to so many things and I am thankful for the chance I have been given to grow personally. I know that everything that I am experiencing now can only help me in the future and I am thankful for that.
Probably most importantly for this week, I am thankful to God for keeping Alfredo safe this week. He was driving to work a couple of days ago and while he was on the highway the hood of his car flew open. Luckily, his windshield only got a little crack even though his hood is all dented now. However, Alfredo was kept safe and I thank God for keeping His hand over him and averting what could have been a major disaster. Now, to find a replacement hood for his poor car that we just got back from the body shop!
