Because I know that I, personally, have been an annoying bitch lately and being a little more thankful would do me some good!
1. Thankful to be leaving the snow/sleet/rain behind tomorrow and heading to Florida to spend 5 days at Disney with my DH, bestie, her DH and her adorable daughters.
2. Thankful to have felt some small baby kicks this week, faint though they may be!
I am thankful to have to go out of town for two nights again because it means I have a good job and am making money. (read, I don't really want to go.)
I am thankful it's going to range from 60-70 degrees here between now and Sunday, even though it's really too warm for this time of year.
I am thankful to be almost 22 weeks pregnant and feeling little ninja moving and kicking all the time.
I am thankful for my wonderful DH who has put up with my moodiness for the last four months and mostly let it roll off his back.
I'm thankful for a happy, loving son. He's a toddler, so we have our off days, but nothing makes me happier than his little cuddles, or hugs mid-play, or when we're playing with other kids and our friends say 'man, he just smiles all the time doesn't he?'
I'm thankful for H, for everything he does. I've always wanted to be a SAHM and he has always supported that and straight up told me 'you are not going back to work if that's not what you want'. We might not live fancy, but we do it and we're happy.
And I'm thankful for root beer. I just really, really like root beer.
I am thankful for DH, who has been more than patient while dealing with me yoyoing between bubbly happy and a grouchy crab this week. He's started saying good night to my tummy every night, which makes me melt.

I am thankful for DH's new job and the great insurance that goes with it. It is really nice to not have to have $1000/month come out of my checks for insurance anymore. I am also so very thankful for DH because he knows me and makes me laugh even when I am feeling fat and miserable, work has sucked and the kids are fighting. He said something last night that had us both laughing so hard we were crying, and it made the kids stop what they were doing and laugh too. It was exactly what we all needed to get through the evening.
I am so thankful for my husband. Every day since I got pregnant my love for him has grown deeper and deeper. He has been so wonderful throughout this whole pregnancy and I am so happy that he is going to be the father of my baby girl. He is going to be an amazing dad!
I'm thankful for my loving and supportive family. Especially my mom and everything she's done to help us prepare for the baby's arrival.
I am so thankful that DH and I have good jobs and will be able to give our baby everything she needs and wants in life!
And finally, I am SO thankful for this baby. She is everything I've ever wanted and I feel so blessed that I'm going to have a baby girl in a few months!
I am thankful to be going on a business trip soon, which I see as the equivalent of me going on a vacation by myself from my usual responsibilities. I know I am going to be crying my eyes out missing and worrying about DD, but DH has been taking me for granted lately and he could use another dose of reality.
I'm thankful for H's and my jobs(grammar?). H loves his job. I don't love mine but the pay is good and benefits are great. Financial security means we have a house that we love and have been able to renovate to our taste and will have a good roof over our little lady's head when she gets here in June.
I'm also really thankful for my mom. Aside from H, she's my best friend and does so much for us. I hope my LO and I have a relationship like my mom and I do!
And I'm thankful for H who has been so supportive of me throughout this pregnancy and always makes me feel beautiful. He's going to be the best dad
I am thankful for my husband who has put up with my shit for 13 years
I am thankful for my amazing 6 year old who loves helping my tired ass around the house
I am thankful for my 20 month old who puts a smile on my face every night when I get home from work. When I walk through the door she screams at the top of her lungs " I LOVE YOU"!

I'm thankful the super important time consuming deposition is happening today and maybe hopefully after I'll actually be able to get back to work on the 900 other things waiting on my desk.

I am thankful that despite me not wanting to eat it, I have no actual aversion to fresh healthy food that's good for me and the baby, and I have easy access to it.
I am thankful to my husband who is so great when he tries to take care of me, even though I have had it pretty easy so far, and haven't really needed much help, and for that I am also thankful.
I am thankful to feel baby girl daily now, it's pretty cool!
I am thankful for my DH who has been so understanding of the stress my job puts on me, especially recently, and who has my back about everything.
I am thankful for this tiny human who has put my head on straight and taught me so much already. I was so nervous to have a girl because of having a poor relationship with my own mother and fear that I wouldn't know how to do it right. The love I feel for her is already incredible.
And lastly, and maybe shallowly, I am thankful for bunch a crunch because it is spectacular.
I am so thankful for DH and all of the little things he does to help without my even having to ask. He's really been a champ for most of the past 5 months, and I'm glad he is mine.
I am thankful for our parrot, the little monster. His personality is endearing, and it's an instant endorphin kick when I get to see him each night. It also warms my heart that his favorite phrase is "good boy." Makes me feel like he knows how much we love his little green butt.
I am thankful that our jujube appears healthy and seems to be growing well. I have no words for the relief I feel each time he kicks...even if my ribs are killing me.
I'm thankful for both my parents and my ILs. They are all incredible and supportive, especially given some of the scares/surprises we've had.
I am so thankful for my work family who has really adopted me and jujube. We have no "real" family out here, but I always have someone to talk to or to share hopes/fears with when I need it.
I'm thankful for this group of incredible snarky, intelligent, and passionate mamas. You all have kept me sane in some of my weirdest and most depressing moments. Your strength is inspiring.
And, in this cold and snow, I am thankful for a roof over my head and a warm meal on the table each night. Blessed doesn't even come close to describing it!!
This is a good thread for me today. I'm angry at 90% of people in my world today, so this will be an excellent lesson in perspective.
Today I am thankful for: - my wife for dealing with our contrator bullshit to make sure he stays on budget before this little boy comes. - our little boy. for being healthy and strong and growing. - my friends. my family. - having a roof over my head, and hot water in the pipes when there is 3 feet of snow on the ground outside of my house.

Im the worst lump of grumpy sadness today, and I'm so thankful for this thread! Im thankful for the opportunity to regain some perspective.
I'm thankful for my family, my parents siblings aunts uncles and cousins and their constant and unconditional support and acceptance. Im thankful for the group of people who brought me up and the way they raised me.
I'm thankful that SO is washing the dishes right now, with no prompting, even though thats "my" household task, because he knows I feel super shitty today.
I'm thankful that even on the shittiest feeling days, I have so much to be thankful for!!!
I'm thankful and blessed that I have this little miracle growing inside me.

I'm thankful for my awesome job with the great work benefits and supportive team. They encourage me to take sick days! I'm thankful for all the delicious food I've been eating.
Amen. I've been in such a funk the past couple of weeks, I certainly need to stop whining.
I'm thankful that today I finally, with 100% conviction, have felt my sweet lil girl punching and kicking me. It was the most beautiful feeling.
I'm thankful that my biggest annoyances are customers who don't know what they want, the cold weather with a too-small winter coat, and a lingering cough.
I'm thankful for my fantastic husband who talks to and kisses my baby bump every night before he goes to work, who makes me laugh at the stupidest shit, and who loves me despite all my flaws, numerous though they may be.
I'm so so thankful for you ladies, who constantly keep it real, and who look out for one another despite the fact we only know each other by screen names.
I am thankful for my DH who has been wonderful to me. He has always been a great partner and friend, but I just am floored by his kindness and thoughtfulness, especially when I am being bitchy and feel like crap. He makes me laugh and always takes care of me. I am thankful that he'll be the role model for my children.
I am thankful for my little bean, and I am so looking forward to having a little boy in June! I love him so much already, and am thrilled to be feeling his little movements here and there.
I am thankful for my job and for all the flexibility and opportunities that come with it. Sometimes I'm exhausted at the end of the day and don't feel like finishing out the week, but I do love what I do and helping other people gives me a purpose.
I am also thankful for my supportive and loving family. This little baby is going to be so loved, so I am continually thankful for that!
Also, not to brag, I'm really thankful to live in Florida and for our weather. I can commiserate to all you gals who have snow and cold weather - I lived in a Chicago for the last 6.5 years, but I sure am thankful to be in south FL now!
I have another one for today... I just found out that the high school mock trial team that I coach won their first round of Regionals today! They are now in the Top 6 out of 200+ participating schools in NJ!!! They advance to the qualifying round for states in 2 weeks! I'm so sad I couldn't go to the competition with them (stupid work) but I'm celebrating their victory instead of being grumpy about it! The kids are SO happy....they worked so hard this year and I'm glad they're reaping the rewards.
A productive meeting that took some stress off about a decorator show house I'm promoting this spring. Very grateful for the other volunteers on my team who offered to step up and take over some tasks for me.
My sweet old dog Molly and my 2 year old son, who always make my heart full on even the most trying of days.
Last but not least, my husband who just helped me make strawberry shortcake bars in the kitchen because I saw them on Pinterest and well, I'm pregnant.
I found red velvet Oreos at Target today. The vegan vodka pasta sauce I bought is delicious! I found the Crazy In Love remix from 50 shades of grey and have been listening nonstop. My little squish has been letting me know she's here more and more every day That my husband is so supportive. My world really did change when I found him.
Such a great thread to start. Thanks OP! I needed some positivity in my life today!
1. I am thankful for my family. My Great Uncle passed away unexpectedly this week, and it has been a reminder of how important family and friends really are. I've spent a few extra hours on the phone in the past few days just catching up with my parents and siblings, and it's definitely been a good thing.
2. I am thankful for my job and my students. I am a teacher, and sometimes, I am discouraged by the direction education is heading in. Every once in a while though, I have one of those days (or lessons) where I know I am in the exact right place and that I am doing exactly what I was meant to do. Had one of those days today where everything just clicked. It was great.
3. I am thankful for my DH. Even though I get frustrated with him sometimes, he is so supportive and encouraging when he needs to be.
Thankful for a healthy baby, a relatively easy and uneventful pregnancy, and an incredible DH... I've never seen him more excited than he was when he felt our little girl kick for the first time. Hoping I never, ever forget the look on his face at that moment.
