gratitude a day #6

Today I am grateful for sleeping in! :) I love weekends and not waking up at 6 am :) its wonderful to get a few extra hours of sleep! :) Even better when mi kiddos love me enough to watch a movie when they get up early or decide to sleep in them selfs! YAY for a fun sleeping in weekend!

Gratitude a day #5

Today I am so grateful for my friends! I have so many wonderful friends out there.  Its so nice to know i have people i can turn to when i need to complain or let off steam.  I love having people who care about me and people i can care about! 

Friends are SO important! You need them in life to help and assist you in everything! I do not know what i would do with out them.  

So thank you to all you out there.  You all know who you are.  Thanks to every one who as listened to me complaining about my life.  Been there to celebrate the joys.  Watched me grow and watched my kiddos grow! I love you all!

Gratitude a day #4

Today I am grateful for my smiling sweet daughter Abigail.  Abigail is such a blessing in our lives!  She is so fun! She loves to play, and joke around.

She has brought so many smiles and laughs into our lives i do not know what we would do with out her! She adores Jackie and Jackie loves having a playmate! I am so glad we have 2 girls close in age so they can be there for each other (and fight as they get older ;)

Abby really is a huge blessing in my life.  When i am sad she is always ready to give me hugs or kisses.  Abby is always ready to be my little buddy,  she wants to be with me and do things with me.  I love it! She is always willing to help me.  She is very independent and likes to do her own thing  :) She has a HUGE personality and its so fun to watch her grow and compare the differences between my 2 kiddos!

Gratitude a day #3

Today I am thankful for heaters! It was SO cold this morning. I do not know what I would have done without my heater!

I would have looked like mister duck here.  :) Really, I am just glad I do not have to rely on fires or a stove to keep us warm!

Now I just need to remember to make sure our cars are in the driveway the right way, so I do not need to scrap 2 car windows before I leave for work.

Gratitude a day #2

Today i am grateful for my job!

In a time when its so hard to find jobs i am so grateful to have a job that I like and feel appreciated in! I love my employers they know how to treat me right. Its nice to not hate or dread going into work everyday! :)

Gratitude a day #1

Well its November! Do you know what that means? Well let me tell you.  My Favorite Holiday! YAHOO! I am a Thanksgiving lover.  Its my favorite holiday by far! Why you might ask?  Yes I know Christmas is so close to it, but really I love Thanksgiving because its simpler :).  No gifts to get or give just time with family and yummy food and a chance to remember how blessed we all are.  Don't get me wrong I LOVE Christmas.  I just really enjoy Thanksgiving! No Christmas Music or decorations at my house until after thanksgiving! :)

So to kick of Thanksgiving I am once again going to do my 30 days of Gratitude! I challenge anyone to join! Its really fun and really helps kick of the holidays! It also helps YOU feel better about everything in life.  I am a big believer that when the going gets rough you have one option to get through it.  Be HAPPY! That is only going to happen by looking at the good in your life and not focusing on the crappy :) (yeah yeah i know it needs to be addressed, but trust me as you switch your focus from neg to pos it makes a HUGE difference!)

So day #1

Today I am grateful for my dad!

My dad is an awesome dad, and the most wonderful grandpa! I LOVE seeing him as a grandpa! Its been so fun to watch him love my girls.  They both get SO excited at the chance to go to grandpas house! They love sleepovers or anytime grandpa is coming! He is such a great example to them of how to be a great person and how to love and care for others. He is so supportive of my girls and wants to be there to watch them succeed!

He is also such a great dad! He loves to call and check up on me and see how things are going. He always has great advice and is so willing to help out! He is supportive of me and my family.  I could not have asked for a better dad growing up (and now!) My dad truly is one of the best men i know! I only hope i can be more and more like him as I get older!

I love you daddy! Thanks for all you do for my family!
