I don’t know why but the song YMCA is playing in my head. 🙂 Maybe, it’s because that’s the song that’s played before sporting events or pep rallies, and I think that’s what Friday is, one big pep rally before the weekend. Or maybeee I’m just super excited to be baaaaaack and on a FRIDAY!!!
New here?
Fridays are my favorite day of the week, they always have been and I think they will always be. 🙂 Fridays are also my kiddos’ favorite, I think, well, here in Washington I think they are. Why? Because they get out of school early EVERY Friday!! LUCKY! I wish I would’ve got out of school early on Fridays. I always looked forward to family pizza night, remember all the “family friendly” shows on Friday night? Anyway, on Fridays I post Thank You Notes, my thank you notes are sometimes serious, big, small, or a tad bit witty (code: sarcastic), but there is always GRATITUDE. As I get older, I’ve learned that the little things add up, and I’m thankful for all things big and small. A gracious heart is a full heart. Fill that heart, friends! I want you to think about what you’re thankful for this week and share it! I cannot take sole credit for Thank You Notes, I give thanks to the hilarious Jimmy Fallon for that.
Each Friday on The Tonight Show Jimmy shares his Thank You Notes:
Thank you, internet/cable company I’ve cursed as an evildoer in the past, for coming through on fast internet service! I’m so happy to be back to blogging, which is also code for chatting and catching up with my friends. 🙂 I’ve missed y’all!!!!
Thank you, honors middle school algebra, for making me feel like I should repeat middle school. Usually, I pride myself on being “able” to help my daughter on her math homework, but last night I was stumped. I guess I’ll be on Khan Academy this weekend. 😀
Thank you, fall!!! Time for Pumpkin Spice Lattes, Pumpkin EVERYTHING, crisp air, apples, football, and THANKSgiving 😉
Thank you, good good friends, for tagging me in Starbucks giveaways on IG!! I won!!! 🙂
Thank YOU!! I’m happy you’re here!! I’m happy to be back, I’m so happy that there’s a giveaway to celebrate fall, back to blogging, and my birthday!! 🙂
WHOOPS! I almost forgot to thank my team for counting candy corn for me 😉

My dad was a math major in college and really could not help me with my math homework.
Yay for fall and birthday and pumpkin everything! I’m about to have me some pumpkin beer 😉

September 27, 2015 at 9:21 pmWelcome back! Happy Birthday! Congrats on the Instagram Starbucks win! So glad things are starting to settle down for all of you. I hope Washington is good to you guys. I hope the schools are as good as I mentioned to you before. So thankful you are back, even though I don’t do Thankful Friday. LOL, maybe I need to start. Maybe if I start doing Maybe post it will be like the Maybe post I loved that you did. LOL! Take care.
MrsA0K2001
October 1, 2015 at 1:36 pmMaybe that sounds like a plan! 🙂

September 28, 2015 at 4:48 amLove the quote about math problems. And why is it that we forget most of what we learned in those high school math classes? Hope you have a fantastic day!
MrsA0K2001
October 1, 2015 at 1:38 pmWhen I saw that quote I almost did a spit take, it was perfect for this post! It’s a mean trick for sure, you work hard to learn all that stuff and when you finally need it in life, only to help you kids, it slips your mind. ugh!
Wishing you a beautiful rest of the week 🙂
XOXO

September 28, 2015 at 10:19 amI missed Thank You Notes a lot! Also.. early school dismissals on Fridays? Yes. That is the way our whole world should work. For work too.
Your candy corn counting team is adorable, by the way.
As for math, I can’t imagine. I’ve heard it’s different now – common core or something. I’ll be.. not helping Scarlet with her math.. she’ll most likely be better at it than me.
MrsA0K2001
October 1, 2015 at 1:50 pmWell in that case… I will have a fresh set of Thank You Notes up tomorrow morning 🙂
I agree! We should have early dismissals on Fridays and a glitter cannon to ring in the weekend 🙂 Fridays are to be celebrated.
You know, sometimes I can more easily navigate middle school honors algebra over some of the crazy methods of CC. Why can’t we just multiply the old school way?
XOXO
