Thankful Thursday...Happy Thanksgiving!

I know it's Friday night...again I'm late with the TT post. I like to think that "at least I'm getting it done at some point before the week ends" LOL

I had a pretty crummy week. One thing after another happened, and now, at the most thankful time of year, I'm feeling more like having a pity party instead.

Just in case you want to relive my week with me....

-The fabric order that I spent all year doing, and all of my business money and resources on is a flop. It is totally wrong for my towels, and now I have somewhere in the vicinity of 600 yards of fabric that I can't use for that purpose. With upset customers to boot.

-My 8 month old got hand, foot and mouth disease, which is completely harmless...but contagious, so it meant that we had to cancel our plans to go see family for Thanksgiving.

-The stresses of the week had been building all week, and while I was waiting for the girls to get off the bus on Thursday, a friend and her husband stopped their vehicle beside mine to say hi. I rolled down the window and proceeded to burst. into. tears. That's right folks, in front of her AND her husband. That was probably the highlight.

-I have not been able to get another camera yet, and have missed countless "Kodak Moments" with my girls.

-Potty training...NOT happening.

But, there is always something to be thankful for. Especially at this time of year :)

So....here's the top 20 things I'm thankful for this week!

1. Hand, Foot and Mouth disease is much less serious than it sounds, so my daughter hasn't had to suffer too badly with it.

2. Even though Daniel has to work, the girls and I get to spend Thanksgiving at my mom's house!

3. That I got to spend an entire afternoon with my sister yesterday.

4. My very first pair of Silver jeans..that were on sale! They are the only jeans I have now that actually fit me. I'm embarassed to say that between Danica's birth and now, I've been in mostly maternity pants...eeek!

5. My kitchen has stayed clean about 90% of the time, thanks to my dishwasher that I am still completely smitten with!

6. That it's still warm enough outside for me to wear my flip flops

7. That I have a friend that loves going to Zumba just as much as I do...even more motivation to go!

8. That my sister in law values my opinion enough to ask questions about life with a newborn...I love that she knows how passionate I am about babies, breastfeeding, and the like, and actually WANTS to ask my advice :) I'm so honoured!

9. That I got some cute autumn crafts done with my girlies...and the quality time that comes along with that.

10. My first pumpkin spice latte of the year...sweet relaxation in a cup!

11. Friends who drop by with Tim Horton's coffee when they know I'm having a rough day.

12. That we got the yard all cleaned up before the snow falls

13. DIY pedicures with my four princesses

14. That Daniel had a few days off this week that we got to spend together as a family

15. That we got family pictures done! I am so excited to see them!

16. That Netflix added Return To Me to their collection...it's definitely in my top 5 romantic movie list.

17. That we are able to buy our children warm clothes for the winter. When I buy them I can't help but think about the families all over the world that can't.

18. That Danica and Myka have both been sleeping better lately. I am so thankful!

19. Homemade cinnamon apple oatmeal on brisk fall mornings.

20. Peaceful evenings :)

Have a great weekend everyone!
