So, hello, it's December tomorrow and I haven't finished up by days of thankfulness. So, this is my final installment (you can now do a happy dance :))
Nov. 24 Even though I try to pretend like it is annoying, and sometimes it is, secretly I love that my kids still like to sleep in bed with me at night. We usually let them do it about once every three weeks. Taylor has spent the night in my bed every night that daddy has been out of town since he was born. I love that tradition and I LOVE snuggling!
Nov. 25 I am thankful that I have a network of friends and acquaintances that have opened many doors, such as every job I have ever had was because of someone I know.
Nov. 26 I am thankful for change. Sometimes I resist it, sometimes I hate it and sometimes I love it. But it is inevitable so I might as well embrace it!
Nov. 27 I am thankful that my mom is Betty Crocker/Martha Stewart, because frankly, I am not. Those fine genes skipped me. I am glad to have her a phone call away. Ask her how many times I have called her with a simple question-she'll probably roll her eyes :)
Nov. 28 I am thankful that my parents paid for 98% of my college education. I was at least given the opportunity to live debt free, even if I chose to screw that up by going back to school for two more degrees and open a few credit cards here and there. We will now be paying student loans until....well, forever. What was I thankful for again?
Nov. 29 I am thankful for laughter. I love to laugh. A sign of a good time is when your cheeks hurt from grinning or your side hurts from laughing.
Nov. 30 I am thankful that I have had at least one reader that cares enough to have read all of the entries this month! Now folks, back to our regular programming........
Not so serious:
I am thankful for......
1. A husband that won't divorce me after I have lost my second pair of diamond earrings that he bought me.
2. Rain boots. Because my 4 year old can put them on himself and I never have to help him put his shoes on.
3. McDonald's. Because you can be your child's hero AND give yourself a night off from cooking. Score.
4. Blogs. Because I like to talk so much I have an outlet for my thoughts that no one is forced to listen to. It's completely optional!
5. A sense of humor. I can't imagine life without being able to enjoy the endless opportunities of humor that everyday living provides.
6. Coworkers that make me look good just by existing.
7. I actually finished something I started! That's a rarity!
Thanks ya'all (or maybe just Jiffy?)
You are welcome!!!! Love you.
ReplyDeleteNathan got me diamond earrings too and I'm terrified of losing them. I've dropped them a time or two in my closet but found them. Good to know you can lose them and still survive!!!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteLove reading your blog Jade. You made me laugh every time! Losing expensive gifts must run in the family because Neal lost the watch I gave him so I had to buy him another... :)
ReplyDeleteHappy December! :)
