Thankful on a Thanksgiving Thursday

A family in good health.

Having exactly four days of vacation left so I could spend the entire week of Thanksgiving with my family & friends in Nebraska.

A family of great cooks.

Losing seven pounds before Thanksgiving so I could enjoy myself without counting calories on vacation.

In laws that enjoy drinking wine during the holidays.

A daughter that likes to take naps while driving long distances.

Long stretches of highway with no patrolman in sight so we can get to Thanksgiving dinner on time.

Friends who like Jose Quervo.

Family bonding at the crack ass of dawn on Black Friday.

Two energetic dogs who miss us terribly while we are gone so they become destructive while alone at Grandma & Grandpa’s house.

An amazing husband who doesn’t mind driving the two lane highways of Nebraska and Iowa.

Thankful Thursday

• Two healthy eyes (Contracted Conjunctivitis (pink eye) somehow on Saturday). I can finally wear eye makeup again. Going to attempt putting back in my contacts tomorrow.
• A tax savvy friend who completed and filed my taxes for free back in February. I'm so happy I don't have to worry & stress out about that today, tax deadline. The refund is long gone and spent the day we got it. But at least we can say that it went towards lowering our debt.
• An awesome and affordable hairstylist that does a great job on my thick, coarse, naturally curly head of hair. I love my new cut & highlights!!
• A hands on father to Abbie. He watched her for 3 1/2 hrs while momma was getting pampered at the hair salon.
• Beautiful weather where we can grill & enjoy our delicious dinner out on the deck.
• Energetic coworkers who push me to go out and walk for 30 minutes over my lunch hour. I get some fresh air and take in the beauty of springtime in Oklahoma (achoo!!)
• A wonderful friend who is taking me out for a belated birthday dinner on Saturday.
• A great rack thanks to breastfeeding my daughter.

Thankful Thursday

• Cooler weather so I can delay turning on the A/C a little longer (I was very tempted this week when my thermostat said it was 79 degrees in my house).
• Visits from family members spaced a month apart so I will never feel homesick.
• A daughter who is in love with baby food. Although I do wish I still had a girl who cuddled with her mom as she drinks her bottle.
• A husband who helps me out at night with bathing our daughter, putting her to bed and helping dry bottles for the next day.
• Waking up to find a dog cuddled up next to me.
• Last night's dinner leftovers for lunch.
• A weekend with my husband, daughter & doggies outside cleaning up our yard, preparing for warmer weather.
• Posing for an incognito picture with my family. I love these two people and all of the laughs they bring to my life.
