TIATF (The Found Keys Edition)
I found my keys! *Does the Dance of Found Keys* After a week I found them. I had a weird dream Sunday night about my keys being surrounded by animals. Last night after getting back from bowling I walking into the living room and looked at a large pile of stuff animals Caroline has stashed in her pirate ship. I pulled out a bunch of the animals and there were my keys.
I am thankful that my allergies seem to be manageable at this time. I have some sort of allergy that shows up when the seasons change and I have a pretty bad dust allergy which has only gotten worse over time. This past weekend I went with Peter and the girls to help his parents get ready to put their house on the market. We sorted out a couple of rooms that needed a little help and one closet that was rather dusty. This set off my sneezing and drippy nose but I have to say two days later I am pretty much back to normal.
I am thankful that Caroline can amuse herself. I have talked to other parents whose kids need them with them all the time. They want to be paid attention to or want to know that their parents are there. It sounds exhausting. From a very early age Caroline has been fine playing with herself. She enjoys playing or working with me but she will spend time by herself playing with her toys or drawing or building with her blocks. I know I am lucky in this regard.
I am thankful for all the support I get for my artwork and other creative endeavors. I have always gotten that support from my family and friends from the time I was young. I have gotten constructive criticism but never have I been told that I can't do what I do or I should just pack it up and never try again. I read other people's blogs about the uphill battles they have had to fight to be able to do what they love to do and do well and the kind of negative criticism they faced. And despite these odds they have been able to create and thrive which is a good thing. I'm thankful for the path I was able to take.
I am thankful for all the interesting people I know and not just the famous or well-known ones. I have learned about all sorts of things from these people over time. It is fun answering the phone and it is someone that I was a fan of when I was younger and now is among the list of people I call friend. But it is also fun talking to teachers and librarians about all kinds of things and local council officials about things that are going on in our district. Everyone has interesting information or stories to tell if one takes the time to ask questions and listen.

Teddy is half way between the two. Most of the time, he can play on his own. He's even closed the bedroom door on me when I was resting and went out into the living room to play quietly on his own for a few minutes. But every once in awhile, he gets where he needs Mommy desperately. I guess I consider myself grateful that I've got a (relatively) good kid as well.
