Today I am very thankful that Jon stayed home an extra fifteen minutes so I could take a shower. He also got the kids their breakfast! Normally Jon leaves while I am in the shower and before the kids get up. Today Owen got up super early so Jon stayed around a few extra minutes to help. I am very thankful!!!

Thankful

Today I am thankful that my parents live close by and love to spend time with their grandchildren. My mom has been taking Madeline to school on Thursdays for me which means I have one less time where I pack up three children for a 7 minute car ride, unpack three children to bring M into school and then repack two children into the car and go home. On top of that my mom came back to my house and stayed with the boys so I could run an errand all by myself. I sometimes forget how easy errands are when done alone.

Thankful November

I really meant to start this series on Monday and post something that I am thankful for each day. It appears this plan was unrealistic. So I will post at least twice a week and play catch up with what I am thankful for. I am taking time each day to think about what I am thankful for, I just don't have the time to write here every day.

I am thankful:
...for Jon. i am lucky to have found a wonderful husband and he truly is my best friend.

...that Madeline is adjusting to preschool. We have mornings that are not as easy as I would like but overall getting her to school is going much more smoothly and she seems to enjoy her time there.

...that even in this recession we are still able to have the things we need and some of the things we want. Jon has job security and my job doesn't look like it is going anywhere in the near future either.
