Here are 5 things I am grateful for this week.

1. The fact that I can say geeky things to Kimmy Gibbler and she finds them funny.

   Last week for Good Vibrations Gratitude Friday, I wrote that I was grateful for President George H.W. Bush.

   I thought about how he was #41.

   As I wrote my post, I thought about how it was my 44th Good Vibrations Gratitude Friday post.

   I thought to myself, “I guess this is the President Obama of Good Vibrations Gratitude Friday posts.”

   I was amused.

   I share my amusement with Kimmy Gibbler.

   She was amused.

   Though she is also amused that I tend to mark the passage of time by Presidential Administrations.  For example, I might realize I hadn’t done something since college and say “I haven’t done that since the Clinton Administration.”

   I’m old.

   I guess this week (#45) is the President Trump of Good Vibrations Gratitude Friday posts.

   I guess people are going to really love this blog post or really hate this blog post.

   I am only kidding.  Though I am just going to leave that topic now and move onto number two.

2. Dance class.

   We took a week off from dance after our last class.  I was nervous about returning but I also realize that I need to give my daughter a chance to redeem herself.  She needs those chances to learn and grow.  If public tantrums becomes a pattern, then I will reconsider our participation in activities.  Since there is no alarming pattern, I am going to treat it like an isolated incident.

   My daughter paid attention and was polite to her teacher and classmates.

   I am also grateful for her dance teacher for being understanding.  We chatted before class and she was encouraging about the situation.

3. Disney on Ice.

   My friend blogs for Macaroni Kid Albany and she invited us along to Disney on Ice tonight. I am grateful she invited us.  My daughter had a great time.  I did too, of course.  And it was good to catch up since we both busy moms and that is hard to do.

   

   

   

   

   

   
4. The maintenance guy at Times Union Center.

   On my way to Disney on Ice, I needed to meet my friend at the Box Office.  I was trying to remember how to get there and I said that to my daughter.  The maintenance worker heard me and stopped what he was doing and politely gave me directions.  He could have kept on walking.  I appreciate him taking the time to direct me and for being nice and helpful.

5. Timing.

   I was originally going to say Hummus.  Don’t ask me why, but I am on a hummus kick this week.  I always thought it was overrated but I am liking it lately.

   

   My daughter and I left Disney on Ice, walked to a nearby parking garage, paid for our parking and left.  I missed my entrance onto 787 and had to loop back around.  As I looped back around near the Times Union Center and saw tons of blue and red lights.  This had happened.

   I am grateful that we didn’t linger and that we missed the excitement. I am grateful we missed it.

   I hope everyone is okay.
