I'm really grumpy today & need to get in a better mood. So what are you thankful for today?
1. I'm thankful that we can afford to go to all of the OOT weddings we've had the last 2 years and that we have friends and family we care enough about to make the trips. I've been complaining about not being able to go on vacation the last 2 years because we've spent so much money on these weddings but I need to look at it more positively.
2. I'm thankful my car (2005 Honda Civic) gets great gas mileage since my commute is ~100 miles a day.
3. I'm thankful I get to work at home tomorrow, it's been a very long week.
I am super grumpy today too and I have a crap ton of work to do.
I am thankful I am off tomorrow and going to Kings Dominion with my boyfriend (haven't seen him since Aug 4th), my sister/BIL/nieces. Can't wait to have a day off!
I'm thankful for the support I got here last night when posting about my friend's cancer. My IRL friends were like "So what, it isn't like you really *know* her". I need new friends.
I'm thankful that I've planned well enough that I can have a kick-ass graduation trip. Now to decide where to go...
I'm thankful that my daughter, despite her 13 yr old attitude, is still happy to go back to school shopping with her mom. And that I can afford to take her.
I am thankful that my brother is getting the help he needs. I am thankful that my mother is awesome enough to help my brother get the help he needs. I am thankful for my awesome husband, who has been amazingly supportive over a rough week (and year). I am thankful for my awesome friends who put up with my bitching about my job. I am thankful for my great psychiatrist.
I am thankful to have such wonderful friends. I am thankful to be pregnant. I am thankful that I have a trip to Micronesia coming up later this month. I am thankful that my husband and I are still madly in love/attracted to each other after 5 yrs of marriage.
I'm in a crappy mood today. We're driving down to Orange County tomorrow to spend a long weekend with my dad (who's in from out of the country) and my sister and her family, but planning for these road trips always makes me anxious and tense, and I haven't even made my To Do list, much less started on it.
However, I'm thankful that my husband is driving with me. He has this incredible ability to calm me down, help me put things in perspective, and that helps a lot. Also, we're staying in a hotel and not in a house that has three kids under 6.
I'm thankful that I get to go home tomorrow and see my husband and dogs. Living two hours away during the week is WAY harder than I thought it would be!!!

I'm thankful that I just figured out I have conservatively 6 more months of payments before I am consumer debt free! I hope to do it sooner but I know things will come up.

I am thankful we are going on vacay in 2 weeks to visit my grandparents. It's been close to 2 years since we have seen them and I miss them terribly.
I am thankful today brought a new attitute regarding IF. I've been in the slumps for the last few weeks and today the dark cloud seems to be moving away.
I am thankful I got to spend the summer hosting my cousin at our house. We weren't terribly close due to age/distance but now I "know" him better. He's a trip. Sure I'll be thankful to be able to walk around naked again as of Saturday but I'll miss him for sure. We've all had some priceless nights for sure.
I'm thankful for a wonderful DH and even though we have our issues, we work through them and still love each other afterwards (which sometimes is hard to do) I am thankful for a healthy, happy and wonderful DD. She is the light of my life and the funniest person I know I am thankful for our home, the jobs that afford us the life we have, our family and friends who put up with us and love and support us I am thankful that my best friends are my sisters I am thankful that I have restrained myself to not knock out my SIL I am thankful for the life I have and all the blessing in it

I am thankful that my job pays enough for DH and I to still be ok financially (tight, but surviving) while he is out of work without dipping into our E-fund, and still max out my 401K. I am thankful for the prospect of a raise in the next month or two (per my boss, who is usually right about these things) that might make it possible for DH to be a SAHD for a couple of years.
I am thankful for Zoloft. I am thankful for a husband that is a true partner in this marriage and parenthood game. I am thankful for family that has helped us out.
I'm thankful that my dad can be at home like he wanted, and that family/friends are taking the time to come visit him. And that my siblings still live at home and can be with my mom and help out through all this.
I'm thankful that my mom is an independent person with a lot of great friends and that she likely won't be sitting alone and feeling bad for herself for the rest of her life.
I'm thankful that MH is loving and supportive and that he gets along well with my family. I'm thankful that he's so MM and that we're doing OK thanks to his careful planning. And thankful for my friends who've been so supportive.
I'm thankful that my job seems stable and that I'm treated well here.
I'm thankful that we have our own home, that our cats are healthy and friendly and like being around us, and that we had enough money set aside to take care of some necessary and urgent repairs this summer.
I am thankful for a chiropractor who can see me on such short notice. (I am not thankful for the pinched nerve in my neck/upper back that made it impossible to get out of bed without help on Tuesday.)
I am thankful that SD's mom let her fly alone to visit us this past weekend.
I am thankful for the time we spent with SD.
I am thankful that the dog was well-behaved around SD. He was abused by kids in his last house, so his reaction to her was an unknown.
I am thankful for DH making dinner last night and cleaning up from it.
i am so incredibly thankful that my job found me and i didn't have to go through the stress of applying and interviewing. i am thankful that my job uses my degree in a way i never would have imagined. and i'm thankful that after three full days i love it. i know it won't always be perfect and the challenges will come, but overall this is a really great fit.
