Thankful Friday 7/29 ~ Ice Cream Edition

[oldbaylover1024]

I tried to think of a summery theme for our edition, and since I ate ice cream three times in four days while on vacation, I thought ice cream was appropriate.

Happy Friday, everyone!

I hope you guys had a wonderful week. Tell us about the highlights...

Or, sadly, if you had some lowlights, vent about them here. We're here to listen. And offer hairpats and ice cream hugs.

What's up this weekend? Any plans? Or no plans (sometimes that's just as exciting)?

Annnnnd GO!

As always, I'm thankful for my two precious little boys and wonderful husband. Thankful that I've always trusted my instincts, and my ability to be the biggest advocate for my kids. Thankful for Caribou coffee, and exciting talk about raising our boys in a location that has four distinct seasons. Thankful that my parents are still together after 51 years, and that we are headed their way in September to relax by the lake.

I'm thankful for butter pecan ice cream. I'm ADDICTED right now!

Also for modern medicine. It's incredible the things we can fix now with creams, pills, surgery, etc. that weren't possible before. And every day there are new ways to 'fix' people. J's stys are finally, finally going away! We've been dealing with this for about 6 months now. FX her follow up in September is the final appointment!

I'm also thankful for this community. The companionship and love is tangible. Everyone stepped up to help a fellow member this week, and it's amazing to watch 'strangers' become friends through the battles we've faced. You guys rock.

We all witnessed history this week. I'm thankful my daughter is able to be a part of world where women really CAN be president! My grandmothers (rest their souls) would have loved to see this.

DoesItComeInPink, I became hooked during my travel days, but now I only get my two morning Kcups because apparently all the wonderful little coffee shops can't compete with Starbucks in this city!

I am thankful for ice cream! We have a few free ice cream coupons thanks to our library summer reading program. I have been using them to snap grumpy moods in our house.

I am thankful for naps.

I am thankful for friends checking in.

I am thankful for life lessons. So glad for the coping strategies I have learned over the years.
