Today I am thankful for:

1. Bubbles on breezy days.
2. Three hour naps that end in sneeky jelly bean antics.
3. Being able to enjoy the last day of Kyleigh's 1 year-old-ness.
4. The past two years of watching my baby grow and learn.

As I just typed out that last piece on the list it hit me so hard that it has only beem two years since she was born. I have felt like wow time flies, but also so much has changed so drastically, its amazing its ONLY been two years!! I am very happy and excited to see what the future holds.

Happy Easter!

Today is Easter! I hope everyone is having a good day and spending lots of time with family and friends. :o)

Today I am grateful for:

1. The fact that my daughter and her father are so close. When I went to drop her off today he had eggs "hidden" (as much as is possible for a 2 year old) and had a basket waiting for her and had decorated. I almost started crying. I am so happy that the relationship with them has finally gotten to where I was scared it never would.

2. Candice. She has such a big heart and is always willing to help her family when ever she can. We played Easter Bunny together last night after she took me to my firtst bonfire, and it was a much needed fun and relaxing night. She does these really small but very sweet things that make you smile. She is amazing.

3. Country music. This morning was spent dancing to all kinds of country songs with the kiddos and it was a great time! :o)

Thats my list for now, thanks for reading! Have a safe and happy holiday!

Being THANKFUL

I know it is Easter time, not Thanksgiving, but nonetheless I am thankful. I just got done with my counseling appointment, and I have decided that each day I am going to write what I am thankful for. This list MUST contain at least 3 things, on a daily basis. I might not post the list to the blog everyday, but it will go into my phone or a journal EVERY DAY.

Today I am thankful.

1. I am thankful for my family. They have such good hearts and are always willing to lend a hand when someone needs it. I love that they love me and I love them.

2. I am thankful to have a phone that allows me to receive picture messages so I can see my daughter dying Easter eggs with her father.

3. I am thankful that my co-worker/friend left her lotion in my desk and I was able to sooth my dry knuckles.

4. I am thankful for splenda, sugar and plain cream to make coffee good in absence of vanilla creamer.

5. I am thankful that life has a value, I am thankful that I am willing and able to fight for what I have and what I want. I am thankful that I am driven and keep pushing forward and doing what I have to do to make a better future for myself and my daughter.

6. I am thankful that I am thankful. :o)

Today is a good day, and I am a strong, adaptable woman who deserves great things.
