I am thankful #1

This post will cover days 1-3 that I have already missed. I decided I liked reading others so much I would do my own. Not for anyone in particular to read, but for me, to put things in perspective and to remind me of all I have to be thankful for! I couldn't decide whether or not I wanted to do serious or not serious things, but I think I want both....so here is #1-3:

I am thankful for......
Nov. 1-A great husband who is an amazing father to our three kids. Those kids are SPOILED with how much attention he gives each one of them. He goes to work everyday to bring home the bacon to support us. My one day a week job doesn't bring home much bacon :)

Nov. 2-Three healthy kids that make my life complete. I wanted to be a mom more than I wanted anything for my life and I have been blessed with these three babes that although drive me crazy on a daily (hourly?) basis are my heart and soul and I wouldn't change anything about them (except how many times they whine a day).

Nov. 3- Amazing parents (mom, step dad, dad, step mom) and in-laws! My parents were married for 15 years, then divorced and have now been re-married for over 20 years each. My parents are close with each other and hang out often, which makes life with divorced parents so much easier for everyone! And my kids gained extra grandparents to spoil them! My parents have been supportive in every step of my life and I am lucky enough to live close by and see them often.  My in-laws are amazing people whom I also love to pieces! (YES, I REALLY DO DIG MY IN-LAWS!)

In-laws (Grandma & Grandpa)

Dad & step mom (Grandma & Grandpa)

Mom and step dad (Mamaw and Papaw)

Now for the not-so-serious:

1.  I am thankful for coffee. Seriously. I cannot make it through the morning without my coffee. My favorite part of each morning is sitting in my chair drinking my cup of dessert coffee.

2.  I am thankful for TV. Otherwise I would have to entertain my kids all day on my own. And that is a feat I refuse to tackle. Go ahead and nominate me for Mother of the Year, I already have one heck of a resume!

3.  Right now, I am thankful for Capri Suns that Connor and Claire are blowing up with air and then squeezing it out and doing it again. It is extending lunch so that I can type this post.......
