Ten Things Tuesday.

Click the banner to go to XBOX Wife's Blog! Thanks for starting this. (:

Today, I am thankful for:

1. Having (some) energy even though I've been sick.
2. Friends who care about me. It feels nice that I have people in my life who truly care about my well-being!
3. Thanksgiving. I will not be with my family this year (I'll be all alone), but I am thankful that the holiday exists. In this fast-paced world, I'm glad that we have a day that is all about giving thanks and about being with the people you love. It helps us to slow down and remember what is really important.
4. Fog delays. Now if only we would have one! ;)
5. The kindness of strangers.
6. Bubbly, warm coats.
7. Day Quil!
8. Dinner with friends.
9. LIFE!
10. The cute, funny things that kids say.

On a different note, I could use a small prayer. I have my observer from school coming tomorrow to watch me teach, and I am way nervous. I woke up nauseous this morning just thinking about it. I'm afraid that tomorrow I'm going to wake up, throw up, and then cry. I know this is not that big of a deal- I've done a million presentations, I've taught many lessons, and I'm just starting out. No one is expecting me to be perfect. But still. I'm just so nervous! I keep telling myself that by this time tomorrow, it will be over and done with, and that it will seem like I was getting all worked up over nothing. At least writing this out helped calm my nerves for the time being. I think I'm going to crawl into my bed around 9:30 tonight will a book, and just try to get my mind off of it and get to sleep early so I can be well rested.

So if you could, please just say a small prayer for me- both for my nerves, and that everything goes well.

I hope everyone is having a good week so far!
