Thankful Thursday?

We've been quiet again... how about a Thankful Thursday? 

What are you thankful for today?

I am thankful for for my beautiful family and friends that are like family... I don't know what I would do without them... especially my amazing husband. 

I am thankful for all the babies that are about to be born around me and that all the pregnancies have been healthy so far! 

I am thankful for my jobs... especially that two of the three are doing things that I absolutely love. 

I am thankful that I got to witness a beautiful sunrise this morning (although I am sad with daylight savings time this weekend that I won't be out when the sun is rising for a while again).

OOH!  Good topic!

I'm thankful that I was able to fix my washing machine without needing a repair person.  DH and I can't afford that right now.

 I am thankful that my sister suggested a PJ Party style "girls night" to lift my Mom's spirits.  With a grandbaby on the way (about a week to go!) and my Grandma being hospitalized/put into a nursing home, she's had a lot of stuff on her mind and needs to laugh and take some time for her.

I'm thankful to have a dog that goes into "protection mode" when my DH is away.  She barks at the door and sounds fierce.  In reality, she's a total lover who would lick someone to death before she'd ever think of biting them but strangers coming to the house don't know that.  

I'm thankful that DH got his promotion finally and that if all things go as planned, we'll have some serious breathing room in our budget soon which is fabulous.

I am thankful for my husband still supporting my choice to substitute teacher so I can *hopefully* find a teaching job.

I am thankful for my family telling me each day to keep up the good work and it will pay off.

I am thankful for my friends who help keep me sane as I am writing my grad thesis.

I am  thankful for being healthy, alive, and have the love of such wonderful people.

Tacky....maybe. However, I have spent so long dwelling on what we don't have, jobs & money, that I forget about all that I do have. I am trying to remain positive and focus on all that is good in my life

I forget too... that's why I thought it would be good for us to remember.

I am most thankful for my DH.  It sounds really cheesy, but working in a family law office, I see a lot of fighting and broken marriages and rather get let myself become jaded, I find new, wonderful things to love about DH every day.  Really, our clients don't set the bar very high, but I am so, so grateful.

I am thankful for my (well-deserved!) raise last week.

I am thankful that we're able to support DH's school and career ambitions without taking on debt.  (I'm also thankful that he has ambition--see thankful no. 1).

 I am thankful for my coworkers/friends.  It would be so tough to get through work days without them.

I'm thankful to be so fortunate to have my H.  I'm majorly stressed/exhausted right now.  He puts up w/ my whining and biotching about how much I hate work (this job is a means to an end, but I'm growing increasingly impatient/intolerant of the bs here that continues to get worse every day...11 years later!!).  He is so patient w/ me, listens to the same gripes over & over, and always stands by my side.  We've been working on our house sooo much lately and between working 6 days a week, then spending hours working on the house, I'm just drained.  Selling this house is going to allow me to quit this job (which I never intended to stay at this long, but its allowed me to pay for tuition out of pocket so I have no loan debt) so I can do something rewarding and NOT where I'm at.  The pay decrease will stink, but keeping what little bit of sanity I have left will be so worth it.

I'm also thankful for our very close friends.  They have helped us out so much recently w/ trying to get our house ready to be put on the market.  We wouldn't have been able to get almost 2,000 sq ft of house painted w/out them graciously giving up an entire Sunday to help us (for beer, snacks, and pizza of course).

I'm thankful that we are very close to having our credit card debt paid off.  Its been a struggle for the past year trying to get those done but we're literally 2 months away (barring nothing major happens) from not having those payments anymore.

I'm hopeful that we are finally getting to a point in our lives/marriage where we are getting our goals done.

I am especially thankful for the health of both myself and my hubby. I found out yesterday that I likely had an early miscarriage a few weeks ago, and as upsetting as that is, it also means that we can, indeed, get pregnant. After a year with no luck, we were starting to wonder if it was even possible. Now we have had all the tests and are both perfectly healthy, so there should be no holding us back. I start meds next cycle (if there is one) and then move on to IUI in May if need be. Wish us luck!

I am thankful that I have.  I have a job, a supportive and loving husband and family, food, shelter, clothing--the smallest and the biggest things that sustain life and make it worth living.

Oh Kel! That is such great news. My fingers and toes are crossed that everything goes well!

I am thankful for my DH. This week has been really stressful and I feel like a terrible employee and a terrible mother. DH has been so wonderful about listening to me and supporting me and ensuring me that I am, in fact, not a terrible employee or mother. He does so much to try to make my life easier and I'm so glad he is my DH!

I'm also so thankful for my little man. He makes me smile every day, even when I don't want to.

I'm so, so thankful for my parents. They continue to be the guiding forces that nudge me back into shape when I need it. I hope I can be half as great at parenting as they are!

I'm thankful to have a job, savings, a roof over my head, great neighbors, and a few wonderful coworkers.

And, cheesy, but I'm really thankful to have all of you. It has been more than 2 years since many of us started "talking" and you all have really become friends! So thank you for your countless pieces of advice, words of wisdom, and links to funny stuff!

Thank you! It's funny how bad news can also be good news.

Yeah, I second guessed that after I typed it, but in the end the news is good and I figured you'd get what I meant .

I'm also thankful God gave me common sense.  My co-worker who filed bankruptcy about 6 months ago was just telling me how she's going to take out a charge card or two to pay for her daughter's prom gear.  Not only did she not learn anything, she's not teaching her daughter to live responsibly either.  FAIL.
