What I'm thankful for this week:
1. That my water cooler bottle has been refilled :)
2. That I got the girls' room organized today. I know it may not last long, but it sure feels good right now!
3. That Danica will drink out of a sippy cup now...even though I haven't actually used my newfound "freedom", it feels good knowing that I could:)
4. For the clarity that came today regarding my business. I have a friend to thank for the push in the right direction, and even though I thought I'd be sad, I'm actually a little relieved to be taking a break. Hopefully I can come back from it better than before :)
5. That it hasn't snowed yet. Even though it's chilly, I can still bundle up the kids and get a few more walks out of my new jogging stroller!
6. For income coming in just when we need it most
7. For my friend Gail, who makes me feel so much better whenever we talk!
8. That I got 4 loads of laundry washed, dried AND put away today. I feel so accomplished!
9. That my friend Chelsea is coming over tomorrow night for a Friends marathon! I am so excited for a girls night...and the fact that I don't have to leave my house makes it even better :)
10. That my girls can unload and load the dishwasher now! I've started a routine where we all clean the kitchen after dinner. I love it on so many levels!
11. For hot chocolate on a cool fall afternoon
12. For stovetop stuffing and how easy it can make dinner some days!
13. That Myka whined significantly less today, and actually tried to use sentences instead!
14. For stirfry...so yummy and makes sticking to my weight watchers points so easy!
15. For the lady at Zumba that told me yesterday that I'm "really getting it". A small compliment, but it meant alot!
16. For Danica's cute new habit...waving her head "no". At least I know at this point that she doesn't actually mean "no", it's just for fun. And SO cute!
17. I miss my husband like crazy right now, but if he has to be gone, I'm thankful for the quiet evenings to get some projects done :)
18. That the mouse poison under the house seems to be working..I haven't seen one in a couple weeks! Sorry if that was a bit morbid.
19. That my friend Amy and I had a great talk about parenting today...she really encouraged me, and it helped me feel less "bogged down" as I went about my day with our girls. The talk also was a great reminder that it never hurts to randomly hug the older two girls, just for being them!
20. That Daniel sent me this cartoon that he found last night. I'm still giggling over it :)
Regarding #4 -- A break is such a wonderful gift. Take it from me... I took 4 months off and feel so much better and rejuvenated. It's hard to step away from the momentum you've built but it's sooooo worth it!
ReplyDeleteRegarding #15 - I love Zumba!! :)
