Thankful Friday 8/5 ~ Olympic Edition

[oldbaylover1024]

I mean... it had to be the Olympics, right?! Some of these gifs I found are gems - pure gold!

Happy Friday!

Did you have a good week? Tell us what happened! Anything that made you feel like a superstar?

Or was your week not so great? How come? We're here to listen to all the vents.

Any big plans this weekend? (In case you're wondering, that's a volleyball player saving the play with her foot. Yes, it's legal. No, it barely ever, ever happens. And YES, it's amazeballs (especially for me - I used to play)!)

Then, of course, just tell us all the things you're thankful for

Annnnnd go!

I'm thankful it's Friday! This seemed like a really long week. My boss still doesn't feel like working, and it's making my to-do list drag on and on. BUT it's not my name on the door, so in the long run it's his problem. I still get paid twice a month.

I'm also thankful there are women out there willing to rip hair off other's people's faces. My eyebrow needs to become two, and my chin... well, let's just say after having J and now being full of hormones again... she needs some mowing. Ah, the joys of childrearing that no one tells you about!

::: current pg mentioned ::: I'm SO thankful for an OBGYN that didn't make me wait over the weekend for results! Our blood work looked great (all low-risk) so I'm feeling much better about this LO! I'll post a full update on the CAR-Wide Check-In thread on Monday

Great news @oldbaylover!
Glad your OB took the time to give you a more relaxed weekend!

1) it's my bday! And although I'm at work, DH swung by with the kids (daycare closed today) to wish me a happy birthday

2) my mom got a job after being laid off for the second time this year. I'm so freakin happy for her!

3) lunch in the cafeteria didn't suck and I'm going to treat myself to a sweet treat!

4) we don't have any scheduled plans this weekend for the first time in many weeks....yay!

Happy birthday, chknma!

[oldbaylover1024]

And thanks, wifey

I'm also thankful for restaurant week! My county's restaurant week starts today and one of my all-time favorite places is on the list! AND my favorite appetizer, entrée, and dessert is on the menu! What what?! H and I are going on a date this weekend - dinner at said restaurant and a movie (Suicide Squad)! I'm pumped!

hawkward - Thank your husband and your family for your service. And it sounds like you're doing an amazing job raising some considerate brothers! Sorry you're all sick. FX it passes quickly.

I am thankful my RCS is in 5 days. We are not ready exactly, but ready as we'll ever be. I am excited to meet her!

I am thankful DD2 and DD1 have finally started playing together. I love moments like when DD1 comes into the kitchen and tells me they were dancing in the living room while holding hands.

I am grateful for my neighbors. One stopped me on a walk to tell me her high schoolers would come babysit for free after DD3 arrives.

I am thankful for my faith. It has gotten me through everything in life so far, which helps me trust that I can get through what might come next.

[oldbaylover1024]

@gratefulgir - oh my goodness! Fives days until you meet DD3! How exciting! And it sounds like your support team is fantastic!

[oldbaylover1024]

That's fantastic news, hawkward!

Adorable story about DS1 hawkward, and a reflection of you!
