I was going to start a Twatwaffle Tuesday thread. After a phone call, I believe that Thankful Tuesday is more in appropriate. So, in spirit of the fast approaching holiday season, what are you thankful for?
I love this idea. I am firstly thankful for my health and my ability to run and play with my son. I am also really thankful today for my hardworking hubby. Without him, I wouldn't be able to be a SAHM. And I am thankful for the loyalty and love that he has for us and for our marriage. I couldn't ask for more.
I am thankful for my health. I am thankful for my close extended family. They are amazing support, and seeing how DH's family is, I know that I am very lucky. I am thankful for the hundreds of little smiles I get every day. It makes all the rough nights and teething terrors worth it.
I am thankful for a supportive husband who loves to spend time with our family. I am thankful for the little kisses I woke up to this morning and the hugs and kisses I get every night.
I am thankful for LO. He makes me a better person. I still can't believe I have a kiddo. He makes my day brighter and I just love him to pieces. It's amazing to see how he has grown in the past year and I sure can't wait to see what's in store for the future with him.
I am thankful for DH. I am blessed to have a man that works his ever loving ass off to support LO and myself and give us everything we need and/or want. He is the most amazing father to Zane and I couldn't ask for anyone better. I am grateful for everything he does.
I am thankful that my husband puts up with my grumpiness, that he picks up the slack when I am spending hours working on research papers, and that he supported my goal of finishing my degree when I will probably never work again.
I am thankful that after all of the IF struggles, I have a healthy happy boy who is teaching me every day what it means to enjoy life.
I am thankful for DD. She is teaching me to see life through a different lens. I am also extremely thankful for my parents. They watch DD twice a week in their home (5 minutes away from my work). They are also helping me through some pretty difficult times with my husband right now. I would be in a totally different place without them.
I am extremely thankful that DH and I weren't "those parents" while my dad was alive. Kennedy may not remember all of the times she had with Gpa, but she has pictures and stories to go with them. She experienced a lot of firsts with him, and those memories will be cherished forever.
@LBstewart, what is going on with you and DH right now? If you feel like talking about it. @jkvogt, that is so great that Kennedy was able to spend some time with Gpa. The pictures and stories you share with her will go a long way.
I'm late to the party, but I am sooooo thankful that F is healthy. Just heard some incredibly difficult news from a friend whose daughter is our kiddos' age, and I just can't even imagine how I would handle him having serious health issues.

I'm thankful that even though its far from ideal, we have a house to live in and food in the fridge. I am thankful that as a couple we have hope for a better future and work together to make the best of what we have. I am thankful that even going from 50K a year to UI, we can still manage our lives
I'm thankful for my job which allows me to give LO a good life. I thankful for having DD and MH who are the best family anyone could wish for. I'm thankful for DD's grandparents and aunts who help raise her.
I'm thankful that DH isn't giving me a hard time about how much money I've spent on O's birthday that is next weekend. I'm even mad at myself. He told me one time I was ridiculous and I agreed, but said I didn't plan on changing and he let it be. I owe him one for that.
