There is always, always something to be thankful for...

Since last week I was slacking and missed doing my "Thankful Monday" I will do 10 things I am thankful for.

1.) The health of my daughter. She is as healthy as can be, what more could I ask for? Not to mention, she has hardly gotten sick this cold/flu season**Knock on wood**. Thank goodness. Last year was rough, I am hoping for smooth sailing from here on out.

2.) The health of myself and C. We both are doing well, and havent endured too many colds. I think C has one and I have had none so far. Which is a blessing in and of itself because being pregnant you can't really take anything.

3.) The health of my family. While my dad is struggling a bit, I am so thankful that he is still around. As is my mother. It is not easy enduring diabetes, specially during the holidays, but she is a champ. Also, my brother and sister have virtually no health concerns. 

4.) Family time. With the thanksgiving last week, we got to spend lots of time together. We did thanksgiving dinner at my parents then again at C's parents. After that we did some good ol' black friday shopping. We waited in line at target for two hours, but E got lots of cool new toys for Christmas :) 

5.) Birthdays. My birthday is tomorrow. Who doesn't love their birthday? Family, fun and gifts! I am so blessed!

6.) Productive weekends. It is tough with a toddler and our work schedules to get ANYTHING done. The fact that we actually got everything we wanted accomplished this weekend felt great. We decorated for Christmas, and cleaned out entire house. We even got ALL our laundry done and folded. Which in unheard of in our house!!

7.) Good deals. This time of year is always a struggle for us because C doesn't get as much work as he does in the summer time. With a baby on the way, we really needed to stick to budget. We got great deals at target and I couldnt be happier with all our purchases this weekend. We are almost done shopping, just a few more things and we will be DONE.

8.) Sleep. Any pregnant womans dream. LOL

9.) The holidays. They are the best. They bring families together and I always look forward to them. Now that I have little ones, they are that more special to me.

10.) PTO/Holiday pay. Who doesnt love getting paid to spend time with family and shop? I know I do. I am also excited because I only have to work half a day Christmas Eve and then I am taking the rest the week off to be with my baby girl! That will probably be the last time that I am able to do that before S makes her arrival.
