****Thankful Thursday ~ 4.16.15 ****

[runnergirl812]

What are you most thankful for this week?

I'll start us off...

I'm thankful for recruiters who find people on LinkedIn that result in potential job interviews.

I'm thankful for earbuds at work and calming music so that I can ignore my loud coworkers.

I'm thankful for my therapist.

I'm thankful for Starburst jellybeans, and that despite me eating almost an entire bag, I've managed to lose 2 more lbs this last week!

Who's next???

I am thankful for my health. In spite of the issues I have things could be so much more difficult. When I am having a hard time being thankful for very much in life I always have to give myself a reality check, things could always be worse.

I am thankful that my H has an interview tomorrow. Even if nothing comes of it at least it is practice.

I am thankful that certain rude and noisy neighbours weren't as loud last night.

I am thankful my H is open to trying new foods which allows me to try out new recipes that I don't have to eat by myself.

I am thankful that my dd loves watermellon, and all the other simple things that maker her happy, dance etc.
I am thanful for a date day with my dh this coming saturday.
I am thankful for having a home, good friends, hugs, and a great partner.
I am thankful for ice cream.

I probably need this today, I'm so frustrated. DS is sick, again, and I'm home from work, again. I'm so over us all getting sick!

Let's see...

I'm thankful for my DH so we can tag-team parent when DS is sick.
I'm thankful for the flowers blooming in my yard and the seedlings sprouting in the pots I planted with DS.

That's all I got for now...

This week has been a bit more trying than most lately...but like you've all mentioned sometimes it's the little things.

I'm thankful it's almost the weekend!

For an understanding and accommodating parish to baptize DS2 even though we don't go there.

I'm thankful for Easter candy...I'm also thankful it's almost gone (and maybe a little disappointed)

I'm probably most thankful that I've rediscovered journaling this week. I used to write a lot (journal, poetry, short stories) but haven't for the longest time. It has felt good to get somethings out and down on paper.

@rocknrollfriend what did you plant with DS? Our guy was watching Curious George and now wants to start a garden. We got some herbs, carrots, beans, and a few other things he picked out. I've never planted anything but flowers so this will be an adventure. I'm going to take him in a couple weeks to get some flowers and plants to do the yard. He's a way better supervisor than laborer though. I foresee a lot of him pointing and me shoveling. Should be a blast! He's a creative guy with a surprising knack for color coordination. I'll have to post a pic of his first landscape architecture project when we are done. I have fun letting him do his thing. His mom likes her flowers just so. Should be interesting. Maybe I'll talk her into having the front her way and giving him a garden of his own tucked away in the back yard. Lol!

I'm thankful for my niece and nephew. We went out for ice cream tonight and I love seeing them.

All this ice cream talk is making me hungry...I think there is one peanut butter cup ice cream bar left. When littleman goes to bed...It's mine!

[tjr42px]

Lol. It's gone! I suppose that's justice. I wasn't going to share with DS. My wife doesn't like peanut butter and chocolate so DS must have ate it.

Boo at ice cream being gone!

Tell me about it.

They should make starburst jellybean ice cream. The moment I read you had them I was asking around my office if anyone had them. Love love the Orange ones.

Though perhaps I should be thankful it's gone. I've fallen off the eating healthy wagon.

We planted cantaloupe, 2 types of watermelon, lemon cucumber, and zucchini. Last year we did beans and sunflowers together, and we'll probably do those again this year too.
He loves gardening with me, and I love it too. He helps me harvest beans and peas and carrots, oh and strawberries. I think the sight of him munching on a carrot we just pulled out of the ground is one of the best things ever. I have an established garden and a designated little plot for him to really dig in and get dirty. Once we're done planting I put a little low fence around it so I can keep the plants from being trampled by him or our dog. It works well.
Have fun with your little guy! I've got some experience growing veggies so let me know if you have any more questions.

I'm thankful for our Disney world vacation coming up in less than two weeks.

I'm thankful for therapy and the chance to recover.

I'm thankful for my family who loves me unconditionally even when I mess up.

I'm thankful for DD because she puts a smile on even my darkest days.
