Giving Thanks
It goes without saying how thankful I am for my children, my husband, and my family and friends. I am also very thankful for good health, financial security, and peace in our lives. But this Thanksgiving, I decided to make a list of things that I am thankful for that have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with being a mom. It was actually hard to think about just myself, but it was so fun, too! Here goes:
Things For Which I Am Thankful
Tweezers and Surgi-Cream
Caramel Macchiatos
The Bachelor and The Bachelorette (also Mad Men, The Office, 24, and Entourage.)
The DVR, which makes the above possible
The Land’s End Swim Shop
Stella Artois
Produce Junction
Friends & Family coupons
Chocolate & peanut butter. Together.
The car CD player
My Asics
The library
Friends who know me really well and still like me
Girls Nights Out (or in)
Vaseline, anti perspirant, and chapstick
Generously cut size 8s
68 degree weather
My bed, which I hope to spend more time with in the future
Red wine in a really big glass
My nieces and nephews
Better Homes and Gardens magazine
Advil
Benjamin Moore color sample jars
Internet shopping
Matt Damon
I would LOVE to see some of your lists! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Thanks for your blog! I loved everything you where thankful for! It made me feel normal. Sometimes I feel like I am the only overwhelmed mom in the world. It is nice to read your blog weekly!! Keep up the great work! Have great holiday!
