I'm thankful for...

...a four day weekend! Couldn't come at a better time.
Even though it's all been self-inflicted, this past month or so has been crazy!
I was recruited to help with coaching the local high school soccer team. I told them about my planned vacation and they still wanted me.
So, as of early October I began getting up at 5:00 every day so that I could go to work in time to leave early enough to get to soccer tryouts/practice. My wife runs the concession stand in her "spare time".
We left for STJ on 10/28 and returned late on 11/8. Up early on 11/9, then the season started on 11/10. Since then every weekday there has been either a practice or a game. Both weekends we've made the three hour drive to Gainesville to hang out with our oldest son (OK - to go to the football game, too). Sundays have been a blur of laundry, groceries, and buying items to restock the concession stand.
There was a game last night, there will be practice later today, then the kids are out of school for the break, and thus, no practices or games until Monday!
My brother invited us to come up to Tallahassee to spend Thanksgiving with them, but I declined. And, as soon as the bird is cooked I'll be reclined! For the weekend!
