{Thankful Thursday...}

yeah you have to read it about 3 times to fully get it, or at least I did:)

I just finished reading this book this week and I am fully thankful to be born in this day and age, because I know if I had been born in ww2 times I wouldn't have lived long. Horrific the things that happened, are happening and continue to get worse as the years go on and how easily people forget how we got to this point ....its an awesome book...reading a book like this makes you very thankful for all that you have in your whole life...

.....thankful for quotes like these because I pray for patience quite often and I to want it right now but like all things it takes time....here a little there a little ...love it a good reminder....

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 probably clothes? I like buying my own :) he likes buying his own though too

One thing I would love to have, but I probably will never have…….. A big beautiful home in the country so expensive to make it out there.

One thing you will never find in my closet…

is acid wash, hypercolor, colored jeans, leg warmers or anything neon please don't come back to stay;)

One thing I love about my face………..

my eyes because I know what it feels like to spend everyday with watery weepy swollen allergy infected eyes we take a lot for granted when we don't have it, ... SO THANKFUL I can keep them under control most days the seasons and weather seem to effect them that probably seems weird but think cotton and cold dry weather....

One thing that I love to do…..

is the things I do that my kids get excited about the times I feel like a good mom thankful for all those moments

One thing I would like to change if I could………... 

are relationships that are strained, for reasons we don’t understand sometimes or know how to change sometimes, sometimes even within our own extended families. I hate seeing people hurt because of others choices so many sad sad situations out there,

One thing I would change as a mom………..

following through the things we start like chore charts or incentive things that we do for awhile then lose there excitement then we kind quit them.... and I'd like to be able spend more time with them just to talk or whatever { I’m working on it and am thankful for the times we do they mean a lot to me} {we do its hard with kids though who all need your attention especially if your trying to do something with one:)

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 and buy them it whatever it is just to see their faces! wouldn't that be fun:)


One thing that I would like to do……….

help my children know their individual worth for real and how important it is

One thing I could do without………

-laundry ha ha

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, 

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.

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 ………….

 just one? strength/patience to get through each day

One thing I wish I had……
an explanation.

One thing I would do again, regardless of the pain……

every minute of getting our children here to this family regardless of the pain so so thankful for each one of them....this is my life.

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 and a good book after a long tiring day

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……..

just one seriously hum....mean kids.

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!  Life is short..

 But finding at least one THANKFUL thing from everyday will take us a long way.....something to

look back on and take what we can from it.

So thankful for my life it may be far from perfect but its far better then it ever could have been....

ps

-For my birthday D is taking me away for the night soon just us some cross country skiing, relaxing and whatever we want to do. Love him...

and THANKFUL for grandma and grandpa B who are watching all the kids....

-So thankful for my K2 who amazes me everyday...

ON my birthday he looked at a water bottle

with the words "REACH EVERY STUDENT" 

{he's 2 and half remember}

and

he was reading every letter and for the D and V he made the sounds

 K2 was reading them so we started grabbing other things and pointing to the letters and sure enough 

my little boy knows the letters of the alphabet at 2 

and he's not even potty trained:) AMAZED!! and it has nothing to do with me ....

Thankful. Yes I am EVERYDAY.
