  I am thankful for...

  
  

  That we had a much better night last night. She slept most of the day yesterday and then went down without a fight BEFORE bedtime and slept like the dead. She was extremely happy this morning. Absolutely no sign of a tooth in sight. Balls.

  
  

  I am thankful that I finally told DH how down his negative attitude was getting me. I know it's been really hard for him at work with all of the problems that they've had lately and his overall feeling about the company but it's begun infecting every aspect of our lives and marriage and I just couldn't take it. It certainly wasn't helping anything for him either and I hope what I am seeing now are changes he's trying to make, and that they stick.

  
  

  I'm thankful that I haven't had to read Hey, Diddle, Diddle yet this morning.

  I'm also thankful for my parents and my ILs.  They have always been and continue to be a huge support and help to us.

  I am thankful that DH got his day off yesterday and could take me to the cardiologist, that little Turkey looked healthy on Tuesday, and that I passed the glucose test!!!!
  
  I'm very, very thankful for cartoons and snuggles with my little pajama girl in the mornings.

  I'm thankful that even though I hate being super pregnant, that I'm at 38 weeks and he is cooking nice and healthy.
  
  I'm thankful that pregnancy doesn't last forever as well! I'm looking forward to having more energy soon to be able to play with my little guy, who right now often has to play by himself until daddy gets home. I'm thankful he's a super good sport about it all.
  
  I'm also thankful for my mom who lives a mile away who is always trying to figure out what she can do to help me make it through the days.
  
  And lastly (wow lots to be thankful for!) I'm thankful for DH who basically takes over everything with Wesley when he gets home from work. He's also been stepping up household chores because he knows I'm having a hard time doing them.

  I am so thankful that K is warming up to daycare and adjusting, for the most part. He still has trouble napping and has to be taken into a separate room and rocked to sleep (I never have to rock him at home). But he no longer cries when I drop him off and he wants to stay and play with me there instead of leaving immediately when I pick him up.

  I am also thankful that MH has found a "back up plan" for when he may no longer have a job in 3-5 years. We have known it is a possibility for a while and it has been weighing heavily in our minds. Its such a relief to know there is hope after the coal business tanks thanks to the EPA's unrealistic standards and costly requirements for coal companies. (Ex: ponds left on reclaimed coal mines are required to be cleaner than water we use for drinking! )

  I'm thankful MH actually agreed to take LO to DC today, it made my morning so much easier. I'm thankful our landlady got a new dryer installed at the house so we can do laundry and will actually be able to dry it. I'm thankful for the huge amounts of rain we've been having over the last week, we needed it desperately and hopefully will help us get out of this draught.

   

  Even a minor event in the life of a child is an event of that child's world and thus a world event.

  I too am very thankful for our J23 board. There are things that I don't like to talk about to people IRL, but I share them here and find the support I need. I've thankful for my family. We've had a rough past year with losing 2 family members. I'm so thankful to be able to hear their voices and have them so close to me.

  I'm thankful for my Mom who watches DS for free every Thursday.  Today, I am extra thankful my Dad came with my Mom and "just happened" to bring his tools.  He has been playing Mr. Fix-it around the house getting projects done that I haven't had time to do.  God I love my family!

  I'm thankful for my amazingly supportive husband. I love him for pushing me back to school, and picking up my slack. I love the father he has become, if anyone knew him in highschool, you'd be horrified by the thought of him procreating! But his world is Cooper...and now I'm getting teary.
  I'm also thankful for my little monster. That he is happy 99% of the time, is healthy and makes my days so much more interesting.

  I'm thankful for my boss who decided to prolong his retirement until this mess with our re-org is complete and he has dedicated his last few months to my co-worker and I, in fighting for both our jobs and ensuring that in the end we both end up with jobs.

  I'm thankful for my SD taking me seriously tonight when I tried to have a serious discussion about the dangers that lurk out there IRL and the cyber world, hopefully some things stick.

  I'm thankful for my kids and husband who have been really patient with me the last few months as all I want to do is be a SAHM but can't as we can't afford it and I need to go back to deal with the other stuff, it's emotionally draining.

  I am so incredibly thankful for my mom. We carpool to work and she shows up a few minutes early to help wrangle LO. She offers to come babysit so I can have a breather once a month or so and it helps me out tremendously. I don't know how id make it without hurting MH without her!
