Good morning friends! I’ve got so much to be thankful for!

1. My youngest had his adenoids out on Monday and I am so grateful that after almost 3 years, he finally has them out and has some relief. The surgeon said he was 90% obstructed! I am so grateful to the wonderful doctors, nurses, and staff at UVA! I’m also thankful for running into an old friend at the hospital.
2. One of my other boys hit his nose really badly on the playground on Sunday and we had to go to the emergency room. I am so so so thankful that he was ok and that they don’t think he broke anything despite it looking really gnarly! I am also thankful for a short wait at the ER and great doctors, nurses, and staff at Martha Jefferson (we are really getting a tour of the medical facilities in town this week!!!).
3. I am super grateful for the ability to work from home while my son recovers from his surgery and to take time off whenever I need (and make it up later) so I can take my kids to doctors appointments.
4. I am thankful for Fridays off work. It gives me time for self-care and to make up any work time that I need to for the week.
5. I am thankful my kiddos are all playing basketball. It is one of my favorite sports and I loved playing growing up and now I love watching them play and learn the game!

Happy day to you all!
