1) iphones, cause it means i still get to hear from my husband even when he is away
2) random strangers that are nice enough to lend me their Kindle books as I lay awake all night (read 9 books in the past 5 days)
3) frozen food/value menus as I don't have the energy/motivation to cook

Julie, I'll be praying for him. :)
 
Lotsa vicodin love around here. ;)

Narrowing it down to three will be HARD. I have so many things I am thankful for at every given moment.

1. My daughter is a big advocate against bullying and even got a citizenship award for her proactive stance on bullying at school. Anyway, she has found her passion and is working hard to launch a campaign at school next year against bullying (in addition to what the school already does). She made a graphic and we ordered t-shirts with it on there. The first order of shirts came today and they look great. She is so very proud of herself. I have an amazing young lady!
2. My boy is being so affectionate and lovable today. He is most of the time but today I've gotten like 50 kisses so far from him. He's also being very helpful around the house... and he made 2 baskets (basketball) so he's super proud of himself. I have an awesome little boy!
3. My husband has been working super hard not only at work but at a side job helping a friend remodel his house. He came home and took care of the kids while I went shopping (after taking me out to lunch) and now he is outside cutting up fallen limbs with the chain saw. He works so hard and is so supportive of me. I just lub him. :)

Now... a few more superficial things I'm thankful for...

1. I hit the shoe store and got 3 pair of shoes for $27 today. Score! Love them. I never buy myself shoes so this is a big deal. LOL
2. Walmart was giving out free samples of Drumstick ice cream cones (full sized ones!) so I got to have a nice cold treat while I did my grocery shopping. :)
3. It is so quiet in the house right now. DH is outside cutting the limbs and the kids are playing so I am thankful for a little bit of solitude.
 
We've been having a couple of sucky weeks around here as well... Here are mine.

1. My husband. He's just sooooo stable and able to see the positive in things. He can always reassure me and make me smile.
2. My three boys that are sometimes (often) out of control, but are growing up so nicely and are healthy.
3. My sleeve (weight-loss surgery). I'm down 180 pounds since having it 18 months ago and it completely changed my life. So grateful to have had the chance to have this surgery while I was young and relatively healthy.
 
It's been a crazy week here. I'm thankful for:

Modern medicine that is giving my baby a chance at a normal life.
Dear friends who love me no matter what.
Chocolate chip cookies from aforementioned friends!
 
Been a long week here too so I'm thankful

1. That it is Friday and I have two days to myself.
2. For my family, always, even when they make me crazy and do stupid things like go and spend $400.00 on a shot gun without discussing it with me first. My son is kinda in the dog house with me right now, but I still love him to death.
3. That I am feeling healthier than I have in a long time and confident that I will not have to have surgery. :)
 
1. My helper is coming today to clean my house, so I have the day off.
2. My boys LOVE the baby. They argue over who gets to holder her, sing to her when she cries, check her diaper, want her to "listen" when we read stories, etc.
3. We're going to see Madagascar 3 as a family with my best friend and her family.
 
1. First day of summer break...remember I have only one kid and he's pretty independent so summers aren't too bad
2. The fact that we're all three finally getting over our colds.
3. Lunch with my Aunt and Grandpa today.
 
1. I got another pair of yoga pants today and am super excited...love them
2. my family :) even though most of the time they drive me absolutely INSANE!!!!!!
3. all my loveable animals even when I have to clean up after them....
