I am thankful for days when my 2nd grade students behave well and not like little monkeys :)
I am also thankful for nights of 6 hours or more of sleep, and small stacks of papers to grade!
I'm thankful for a lot of things, especially my husband who always goes above and beyond. He is a great father and a great partner. I couldn't have asked for better.
I am thankful that I have been seizure-free for one year and 5 days. I can drive again, stand up without falling down, and take care of my kids like a normal (well, sort of...) person. Also, it makes it much easier to look at those horrendous sprinkly concoctions some bakers call cakes if I don't have to worry about the clashing colors sending me into convulsions. :D
I'm thankful that my husband has a job that provides for us all.
I'm thankful that I missed my train on Friday, because I dropped my iPod while I was running down the ramp, and since I missed the train ANYWAY, I got to thank the kind lady who found it and gave it back to me.
I am Thankful that most cakes taste as good as they look! and a whole lot more !, but the cake comment comes from years of experience, and trust! Thank YOU for blessing us all with your wonderful sense of humour !
Im thankful for those folks that reach out to someone that is hurting, hungry or have reached rock bottom without expecting something in return.
I am thankful for my family and friends. I know everyone says that but it is so true. It would be lonely and boring without them. (p.s. I have found home alone laughing so hard at some of these wrecks, thank you for the entertainment)
So thankful for my car, which I need to live and take me places :)
I am thankful for space heaters!
This year my Mom came to live with me, she has alzheimers. I'm thankful everytime she smiles or remembers my name !!! : )
I am thankful for laughter, and this blog certainly is part of that.
Old-fashioned radiators and putting socks on in the morning that have been sitting on the radiator overnight.
I'm thankful for my boyfriend, who is currently making dinner while I browse CW and drink a beer :)
I am thankful for family. Not just my husband and kids, but extended. This year alone I have two new sister-in-laws, a new niece, and another niece coming before the end of the year. My brothers and sisters all get along and my husband's brothers all get along. I love all 4 of my sister-in-laws (there are 5 boys, no girls on my husbands side) and I feel very lucky and thankful to have such great family.
thankful my husband survived his "silent" heart attack, And for Cake Wrecks for bringing a little laughter and relief into my life right now.
on of the many many little things i'm thankful ( besides getting to meet you guys!) is my son that survived another asthma attack. : )
I am grateful for my nieces and my nephew who make life so much richer just by being here. I love them more than they even know.
I'm thankful for my 3 wonderful kids... and even more thankful for when they take naps!
I'm grateful it was just a sprain and not a break!
i'm thankful today for tire pressure gauges and my hubs who helped me figure out which of my tires needed more air (it was all of them!)
I'm extremely thankful for room to dance in my apartment. I don't quite have the chutzpah to dance in public, but having enough space at home allows me to do leaps and high kicks in privacy.
...although this is probably why my light fixture now only have 5/6 it's bulbs left.
I'm thankful to be able to spend this Thanksgiving with my family, especially my 7 year old son who was diagnosed with T-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia on December 23rd last year. We had no idea how close we were to loosing him until months later - but he's doing amazing and most importantly, he's still with us.
I'm thankful my friends and I are having a wonderful year, and that I've finally gotten back into school.
My hubby and kids, but cake is a close second =o)
Ketchup....I'm thankful for ketchup...with it, my 2 yr old will eat anything.
I am thankful for my housekeeper. I know I sound a bit 'lah-dee-dah' when I say that, but if I ever want to walk on an actually mopped kitchen floor, then it is my very good friend, Liz, who makes that happen. And our house is filled with suspicious smells from soggy Play-Doh to, "whoever was in the bathroom last, should have flushed!" But when Liz visits every other week my house, for just a few hours, smells like Lysol. I love her. If she wasn't already married, I would marry her.
I am very thankful for my dishwasher even if it is a crappy one. Its still better than hand washing.
I am thankful for my wonderful fiance and how wonderful he is in working to plan this wedding. I am also thankful that our wedding is only 8 months away :)
I'm thankful for my awesome new job supporting a non-profit that helps kids who haven't been able to be helped anywhere else.
I'm thankful for Sharpies. I mean c'mon, they are just that awesome.
I am thankful for graduating college in four years after an illness freshman year threatened my abilities to concentrate and remember. I am also thankful for my lovely now-husband who met me at that time and stuck with me through it all.
I am thankful for a healthy child, a loving husband, and a house that is 1/2 ours, officially!
I am truly grateful for the many people who love me and whom I love. What a fantastic gift to have! My husband is the most amazing man in the world, and my family is so loving and supportive. I am so fortunate . . . and I KNOW how lucky I am. Thanks, everyone.
I'm thankful for my family, friends, and my Gryffindor hat :D
Oh yeah, and Cake Wrecks, too. Happy Turkey Day!
My first instinct is to be thankful for my 15 month old son- that he's healthy and active... but right now (and because of him), I'm REALLY thankful the Chinese food place delivers ;)
I am thankful that I a paid mortgage and plenty of food, a faithful husband, 2 beautiful and brilliant daughter who love me as much as I love them. If I die tomorrow, I have lived a wonderful life.
I live far away from my family, but knowing I have people here to spend the holidays with is one of the little things I feel blessed to have. Also, cell phones and facebook, so communicating with my family is easier than ever.
I am going to be most thankful this Thanksgiving for my soon-to-be-born FIRST GRANDBABY, Bentley Taylor Parton! I can't wait to meet him, and my daughter Jenn (!) has been blessed with a relatively AWESOME pregnancy, I am also so very thankful for that!!!
I'm thankful for our friends. One of the pipes in our bathroom broke and it started a chain reaction of mishaps- so many of them that we had to gut our entire bathroom. It would have cost us a small fortune to hire someone but a couple of our friends volunteered themselves to help us out so all we've had to pay for was supplies! They're HUGE blessings to us!!!!
On cold nights like this one, I'm thankful for my awesome electric blanket and my partner and puppy's warm toes touching mine.
I am thankful that there are so many people out there that have something to be thankful for. ..and my children of course!
I am thankful that my husband's deployment is almost over and that we'll be able to see each other in January. I'm thankful that I am closing in on my one year in GTMO and soon I'll only have a year left before my husband and I can live together. I'm thankful that everyone I love is safe and doing well.
I'm thankful that I finally found an egg free version of Oatmeal Cream Pies. I'm allergic to eggs, and have had to give up so many things that when I found these, I ate the whole box in just two days.
