...I am grateful that I have a job at all to complain about. A job that comps my car trips, and magazines of my choosing at the shop downstairs. And occasionally rolls out the red carpet and allows LaMai to walk on it and have a drink or two at the Tavern on the Green. Okay, that was actually fun.
...Even though my colleagues from L.A. had to come here. Dude, they're sooooo different. (please hand her a water)
...I am grateful that the security guard in my lobby at work says "Good Morning" to me and says my name. It really feels good. I always say "Good Morning" back. Yes, people can be nice in New York City.
...I am equally grateful that the same security guard comments that my son - A - "is such a gentleman" whenever A visits.
...I am grateful to meet the people who I get to meet. A few days ago I saw a familiar name on one of the press releases I issued. It was the executive producer for the most-nominated musical. He helped the Campaign for The Rock Club. So I sent an email. "Hey, congrats on your 11 nominations." It felt good to do that.
...I am grateful that even though A got sick last week and I worried myself to bits about his health, it put the whole BTBSA/hs-early college thing in perspective for me.
...I am grateful that Napoleon sleep "runs" and barks in his sleep. And does it while sleeping next to me in bed. Because it reminds me that I am not the only freak who has nightmares like that.
...I am grateful that people think that I lie when I give them my real age.
...I am grateful to be able to sing the Pistols' "God Save the Queen" with A. Because he taught himself all the tabs on his electric Fender Stratocaster.
...I am grateful to have had the homeschooling experience with A.
...and to have shared it with you. Because some of you peeps be the coolest and loyal-est bloggy readers. I am sad that this homeschooling saga will end soon.

I'm grateful you've shared the adventures and long and winding road with the rest of us : ). And even though the hs'ing part is coming to an end, I hope you'll keep sharing and blogging.
I just caught your blog for the first time about a month ago, and I'm sad you'll be ending the HS journey because I've greatly enjoyed reading about it. (My own son [7]and I are have miles to go on our own HS trip.) May I say, though, that you might do a far better job than Big Name Boarding School in educating your son. You've done a stellar job thus far.
Gee thanks, Tara!
And I'll keep sharing and blogging, Becky, albeit not here...
AAAaaack, where else??
