If you can't be content with what you have received, be thankful for what you have escaped.

I am thankful for a night out w/ my DH tomorrow. We are going out for dinner and to the Sabres game. We really need a night out just the two of us (well, there will be 18 thousand other people at the arena!) Even though we get a night out every-other Friday for our bowling league, it's with a big group of our friends (and mostly my girlfriends, so we end up chatting and catching up all night!)

I'm just thankful in general today. Yes, there are stressers in my life, but when I really stop and think about it, we are so blessed and there are people out there who are WAY worse off then us. I need to stop sweating the small stuff and just enjoy the time i'm in right now, because it goes way too fast!

I am thankful that it's been a fairly easy winter.

I am thankful for vegetables.

I am thankful for Emma, I love her, she is a good dog.

I am thankful that I've moved so many times before that considering it again isn't stressing me out.

I am thankful for a healthy child. Despite the colds and general illnesses, she is healthy and happy. A co-worker is going through a tough time with her newborn due to a twisted small intestine. The baby has gone through 2 surgeries since she was born on the 1st.

I'm Thankful for DH. I don't tell him nearly enough and I usually focus on his short comings and get annoyed with him easily. But he works hard for us, loves us unconditionally and he has stepped up helping around the house when things were getting tough.

I'm thankful for my job and wonderful co-workers (well most of them).

I'm thankful X slept from 12-6 last night- I dont know if this is going to be a regular occurance but I needed it

I am thankful that L reminds me everyday not to take myself too seriously- we all need to stop and play

I am thankful for DH- he works so hard and even though I just dont get him sometimes- I know that all of what he does is for me and our family and he really only wants me to be happy

and I'm also thankful for my kureig- because without it I dont think I would be able to be thankful for anything at all...

I'm thankful for my vacation because I definitely feel renewed and less stressed.

And I'm actually thankful that potty training has us stuck at the house, because I have a lot of little things to do around here that are easily put off til later.

I am thankful that it's been a mild winter. It's been a challenge wrangling 2 kids to day care every day and w/o the snow/ice it's been much easier than I expected.

I am thankful for some DH time on Sunday. We are taking off to Philly to go to IKEA. It will be nice to have a long car ride together w/o having to sing "Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes" or "The Itsy Bitsy Spider" 1000 times. Hopefully we can have a leisurly stroll around IKEA, get some stuff for the kitchen and have a little lunch together.

Having said that, I am so thankful for my ILs. They love our little girls and we appreciate them so much for everything they do for us, including babysitting.

I am thankful that J has been on a good sleeping stretch for about a week. The week before was like having a newborn again, which is already in the near future. I'm also thankful that she is a healthy, happy little girl whose personality emerges more and more each day and is so funny to watch.

I am thankful that the baby is healthy and performed perfectly during monitoring on Tuesday. Also that she is head down

I am thankful for DH, he works his butt off to provide for us and I need to remember that.

mrsoc · February 2012

I am thankful that both boys are typically really healthy, Evan has only been sick twice and Andrew, none...until this week. Both have pretty bad colds, and I feel bad for them, but thankful that this is a very rare occurence. We are just staying in today, relaxing and making some homemade chicken noodle soup and corn muffins. I am also thankful that they each only got up once last night, as the night before was pretty rough.

I am thankful that the running (jogging) bug has bit me again, as I am really enjoying it.

wendyj · February 2012

I am thankful that I have next week off. I feel like I've been pulled in so many directions lately, and I haven't been doing a good job at anything. I'm looking forward to visiting my MIL this weekend and doing nothing but fun stuff with my family.

I am thankful for DH's hugs. Amazing how a simple action can make everything better.

I am thankful for Ian's smiles and impromptu hugs. I can't help but laugh.

I am thankful for Valentines candy clearance. I really "needed" some good dark chocolate & was happy to pay half price for some Ghirardelli

I am somewhat thankful that I didn't go into labor last night. I was up for 3 hours with BAD contractions, 3 minutes apart with pretty much no relief in between. All I could think about was the massive amount of dirty dishes in the sink & the fact that I hadn't cleaned the bathrooms or floors (priorities, right?). And then Paul woke up with a low fever & has a cold. The contractions tapered off & I was able to get some sleep & cuddles with Paul. He is better this morning, but still a bit clingy. It would have been rough, but obviously do-able, if I had been in labor & had to hand him off to someone else.

I'm thankful that we were able to reschedule our Disney vacation easily. We had to cancel because of DH's surgery. Rides and excessive walking would not have been fun.

MrsWhiteonWhiteSt · February 2012

I'm thankful for my in-laws. (I know, I know... they are often the subject of my whine wednesday too, haha)

GMIL took B all.day.long today he was up for the day at 5:15 and was being super clingy so I dropped him off for a few hours and she called to say she was loving every minute and he can stay til DH gets home to pick him up.

SIL and I have been working out together and tanning every mon/wed, it's really brought us closer before our big trip. I don't really keep any IRL bffs so I am enjoying our friendship. Some days I feel like no-one in the world understands my stress but she does. We both SAH, married brothers who work the same hours (aka never home), plus we both have 1 + twins (+ she has another infant).

Thankful that my family has grown by one, for a healthy little girl, and for a safe and relatively speedy delivery.

I'm a day late. But I'm thankful that I saved up my vacation this last year to add on to my maternity leave. Without it, I would be going back Tuesday - how is it possible?!?! I'm glad to have the extra 2 weeks. But I know March 6 will be here soon.

On that note, I am thankful DH will be home with Clayton. I often think that Ellie would be so much more stimulated and have fun with activities and other kids and following a routine if she were in daycare now that she is over 2 yrs old. And my housework would certainly be easier if DH and the kids were out of it all day. But the infant stage especially I am glad he is home with him and that I am not running around adding drop off/pick up and packing the kids up each day.
