day seven: i am thankful for the city of columbus, who FINALLY re-opened an additional entrance/exit to/from 670.  it made my drive home lots less filled with rage than most days prior.

day six: i am thankful for the ability to pick myself up and laugh.  literally.  and i am thankful that i have people around me who love me enough to not point and laugh. i am the clumsiest, most uncoordinated person on the planet.  you might not ever think so if you saw me in […]

day five: i am thankful for my memory.  although it can be cruel {replaying past hurts} or downright nasty {confusing me when i’m mid exam, only to resurface after i’ve already left the classroom}, it never fails to give me what i absolutely need – happiness. i have a virtual bank full of heartwarming thoughts of […]

day four: i am thankful for my reading monkey {no doubt where he gets it!}.  not only is he reading at nearly a second grade level – a whole bunch of “levels” ahead of where he needs to be, but he does it b/c he loves it. every night before bed, he reads us a […]

day three: i am thankful for miracles.  {ok, so perhaps not in the literal sense or definition of miracles, but miracles none-the-less.} my monkey… a miracle in itself after a devastating loss.  my B… a miracle in love, who, just as i, thought forever was no longer a realistic life option.  and my babyA… a […]

day two: i am thankful for my wardrobe.  i am thankful for my fabulously full, colorful, dotted, striped and diverse wardrobe, which was recently topped off with mass amounts of new dresses, sweaters, tops, skirts & pants {oh my} scored by my wonderful husband & his diligent digging at the latest AF sample sale.  and as happy as i can […]

day one: i am thankful for a child who, at age 6.5, will still give me kisses in front of his friends.  ***gaaaaasp!  whaaaaat!***  in fact, he also freely hugs me and tells me he loves me, in public!  and while he is usually super embarrassed if i fix his hair or clean his face, he […]

have you ever sat back and thought… of all the complaining i do, of all the whining i subject my loved ones to, of all the grumpies i force upon those who matter most, is it logical AT ALL that these people still LOVE ME and want to do nothing other than to give me […]

it’s hard to believe i’m nearly half-way through this pregnancy.  ok, so if you saw me, perhaps you’d be all… “really, b/c you look about 3/4 of the way through this pregnancy”, but i digress.  half-way!  it’s probably a good thing that i still have many a weeks before babyA arrives b/c i’m not sure […]
