{One Thing Thankful Thursday....}


The list blogs seem to come all at the same time and other times its hard to find something to blog about!
Oh well this one looked fun so here it is with a little thankfulness twist.
But first I'm so glad AI is on I laugh so hard sometimes,cry sometimes, and can't believe some people who really think they can sing when they so can't sing, poor kids.
But I loved the SLC episode last night loved how the judges commented on how polite and thankful everyone was I love it!
I am so thankful for my mom for watching my kids yesterday, so I could get out for the day and go shopping with a friend yesterday and just enjoy a day out! I found a few good deals at Gap for L so that was good other then that the shopping wasn't too great! But it was a much needed break.
Thank you mom for watching the kids we love you! and The kids had so much fun.
I'm so thankful for the same friend who came and got my kids today and took them pretty much all day long , just because she knew I needed it.
I had a big lunch to prepare for D's work today who were in a seminar all day. It turned out fine and I'm so glad I was able to get everything cooked, cleaned up and ready before they all showed up. So I appreciated that the kids were having fun elsewhere and I could accomplish what I needed too.
I'm mostly thankful for the good things in life.
There is something to be thankful for everyday, we just need to look around.
---------------------------
One thing I won’t let my husband buy me….. is ?? can’t think of anything I won’t let him buy for me?? { I’m just thankful for all the things he does for me}

One thing I would love to have, but I probably will never have…….. is a huge, huge painting of the Savior the really expensive, beautiful ones.

One thing you will never find in my closet…… is a pair of skinny jeans this girl doesn't not have the body for them~!

One thing I would choose if I were having elective surgery……… would be to pin my ears back {But I’m thankful I have ears to hear with and I’m fine with them it was just a question and if I really wrote what I was thinking that would be embarrassing! lol}

One thing I love about my face………..my eyes {because I have whites again and they aren’t itchy and red swollen or puffy} we take a lot for granted when we don't have it, ... SO THANKFUL FOR allergy testing!!}

One thing that I love to do….. is spend time with my family, I love traditions like Christmas and thanksgiving I love the feel of family and making memories basically.

One thing I would like to change if I could………... are relationships that are strained, for reasons we don’t understand or know how to change sometimes, sometimes even within our own extended families. I hate seeing people hurt because of others, in their own families or in marriages, it happens far too much.
{ I am so thankful for each of my sisters and brothers and parents we are so blessed to have each other. Life is too short to dwell on the insignificant things that don’t matter in the eternal scheme of things....}

One thing I would change as a mom………..would be to have more patience and sit more with them just to talk or teach { I’m working on it and am thankful for the times we do they mean a lot to me}

One thing I would do if I had unlimited money………..would be to help people that need a boast once and awhile or pay anonymously for things, or send a friend or sibling money if they needed a help. I’d love to be an Oprah type person and hear of somebody in need or a want for one who is a good person and buy them it whatever it is just to see there face!

One thing that I will not do again……….is go on clomid or get fertility treatments done again after five failed that’s a lot of money and time and tears { So we choose to spend it on ADOPTION and for that I am so THANKFUL}

One thing that I would like to do……….would be to go on a girls trip to Vegas or anywhere far and fun with my sisters or friends maybe when our kids are a little older, and one of these years I would love to go to women’s conference or a time out for women!

One thing I could do without………pettiness, feelings of being left out, games that people play instead of talking,

One thing I love to smell……is the ocean right about now would be nice or just after it’s rained love that smell

One thing I would do if I won the lottery……..pay off our house and buy a piece of land in the country and build our dream home, we’d buy a boat so we could water ski whenever and wherever we wanted to, and we’d love to travel {or was that I'd love to travel hum}

One thing that infuriates me.....people who talk about people behind their backs and don’t come talk to the source or assume things that just aren’t true until you really know a person you CANNOT judge them.
{I am so Thankful to have good friends who don’t judge me and love me for me! }

One thing that I love about winter………..cozy warm snowy nights

One thing I am addicted to ………computer - if I’m being honest

One thing I pray for ………….for our families all of them, {but especially too for my kids to grow up strong and happy, respectful, and honest good people and to know how very much they are loved}

One thing I wish I had……an explanation.

One thing I would do again, regardless of the pain……probably adopting M it was a very rough first year and half, lots of pain of the heart but thankfully turned out just perfect and now he is almost three and I’d do it all over again in a heartbeat just to have this busy boy!!

One thing that I absolutely hate to do………clean toilets it disgusts me
One thing that is weird about me………..my hair ha ha
One thing that I need help on………….math kind of stuff not to brilliant in that department
One thing I find most relaxing………..a warm bath with a good book
One thing that could get me in trouble…….sticking up feistly {is that even a word} for the things I believe in or for the people I love.
One thing that annoys me……..when all the lights are left on or people who are so late when they say they will be there at a certain time
One thing that I have learned, but still sometimes forget…… is
"That this too shall pass" everything is but for a moment we learn from it, move on and start again tomorrow!
Look back on it and take what we can from it.
---------
So give it a try... and have a great weekend!

You are SO fun! Loved getting to know you.

I too would love to be like Oprah and surprise people with money...when you and I get rich....let's go around and do that together! That would be SO fun!

Of course we would have to hire an accountant, cause like you....I am NOT good with math. LOL!

P.S. That pic of you and Mase is SO cute! Love his cheesy grin!!

Fun post :) Thanks for all your comments and support lately, it's been nice to feel loved and know that everyone cares. I also need to be better at remembering, "This too shall pass..." I haven't watched AI in a few seasons, but I started watching this time around and have been quite enjoying it. It'll be fun to watch it from beginning to end. Have a good day tomorrow, ttyl. :)

We love AI too! And I love the workout songs you shared, thank you! It was fun to get to know you a little more from this list. You have such a cute personality!

Oh, and here's this recipe you asked for a couple weeks ago, it's so yummy!

White Chicken Chili

Melt 1/2 stick butter
Whisk in 1/4 cup flour

Gradually add:
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
2 cups half and half

Whisk constantly so it won't burn, simmer until thick. Then add:

1 1/2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper

Then add:
2 (4 oz each) cans diced green chilies
4 cooked/shredded chicken breasts
3 cans Navy beans
1 1/2 cups monterey jack cheese

Serve with 1/2 cup sour cream.
