PS
After I posted on 1/5, I went back to edit the title, since I typed 2008, but apparently I hit the wrong button and it didn't post right - so I didn't miss a day, I promise! I will be *thankful* when I figure this blogspot thing out.
Love,
Jen

Today, I am thankful for:
1. Amanda, for reminding me to post! Sheesh!
2. Competent co-workers who do things that I tell them and actually think for themselves!
3. My job interview on Friday - and also the fact that that means I will be taking a 1/2 day off work. Sweeeeeeet.
4. Heat - it's COLD outside!
5. Sweetpea, for forgiving Josh and I when we get cranky.
6. Remembering to pre-soak our dishes - that made it much faster!
7. Sweetpea again, for snuggling up with me when she woke up tonight, and also for waking up earlier tonight - now lets just hope she stays asleep!!
Have a great night all! What are you thankful for??
Love,
Jen

Today, I am thankful for:
1. Amanda for her comment - thanks Amanda!
2. A wonderful day with Sweetpea.
3. A happy, very healthy baby - todays measurements - 24.5 lbs, 28.75 inches. She is off the charts for height and weight. She is also a pound lighter and an inch shorter then her 18 month old cousin. Josh said - "it's official, you gave birth to the Jolly Green Giant." :)
4. E-mail and Internet access on my phone.
5. McDonald's cookies.
6. Our pastor for being aware of the things we're doing with the youthies and showing his appreciation.
7. An opportunity to create a group for other young families at our church.
8. Sleep.
Goodnight all! What are you thankful for today?
Love,
Jen

My father-in-law is home now, and doing better. We're thankful for that. :) Thanks for your prayers and thoughts!
Today, I am thankful for:
1. Kristen for her comment and sharing what she is thankful for! Thanks, Kristen!
2. Sweetpea going down easy tonight.
3. A break from my daughter. I'm sure that makes me sound awful, but dude....... it was necessary.
4. My youth group kids for cracking me up, and sometimes listening.
5. Blankets. I know that sounds so dumb, but today, I just needed a blankie.
6. God, for answering my prayers and giving me peace.
7. Josh, for hanging in there when Sweetpea is giving him such a rough time. He is such a good daddy.
8. My Crockpot. As most of my friends know, this is neither the first nor last time I will talk about my Crockpot. I ♥ my Crockpot. ♥ it.
9. Becky's friends, for teaching me how to do this - ♥. I am seriously a little giddy right now.
As you may have noticed, Sweetpea is giving us a rough time right now. It's not her fault - the poor kid is totally off her schedule, and has barely seen me, except at family gatherings and friends parties, for the better part of two weeks. I went back over the past 3 weeks in my head today, and I would be off my game too, if I were her. I am hoping she will be better after tomorrow, and a normal week this week. Even though this has been exhusting and overwhelming to have her want mommy all. the. time. the last few days, I am trying to remind myself that in a few years, she's going to want nothing more then for me to go away. So even when she's driving me insane, I should enjoy it. Or at least appriciate it.
Hope you're all well - what are you thankful for today?
Love,
Jen

I wonder how long it will be fore I type 2008 in my subject line. :)
Just a quick note... my father-in-law is having some heart related (we think) issues today, which culminated into a trip to the ER and hospital admission overnight for tests and monitoring. While we are thankful (:)) that he is okay for now, this will likely mean some lifestyle changes and monitoring, which is hard for anyone. We would certainly welcome and appreciate any positive thoughts or prayers you could send his way. Thanks!
Today, I am thankful for:
1. Lori, for her comment - thanks Lori!!
2. My father-in-law, and the fact that he is doing well.
3. An opportunity to talk with Josh about some important things.
4. Sweetpea learning to wave "hi" - so cute!
5. Spell check, since I am apparently unable to spell the word appreciate without it.
6. My BBC friends for their quick responses of prayers and support, and for generally being a sounding board and all around fantastic group of women.
7. The "off" switch on Sweetpea's toys. I'm just sayin.......... :)
8. Josh, for doing the heavy lifting.
That's all for today, because I am exhausted. Right now, I will be thankful for my bed. Oh, which reminds me - I'm thankful to whoever made the lavender reed diffuser for Kohl's, b/c dude, my bedroom smells fantastic.
Done now!! What are you thankful for?
Love,
Jen

Today, I am thankful for:
1. Amanda, for commenting on my last post - thanks Amanda!
2. The makers of Hershey's kisses and Snyder's peanut butter pretzels, because if you eat them together, it's DELICIOUS!
3. My co-workers for the Kisses.
4. My bosses for leaving early today. Josh says that when you leave thirty minutes after your boss, it's called boss:30. I left at like, boss:15!
5. Sweetpea, for sleeping totally through the night. Thanks, baby!
6. Having job options.
7. Our village - the saying "it takes a village to raise a child" really rings true for us. I've been very aware lately of how big our particular village is - we are incredibly blessed with lots of people who love and care for our child, and for us.
That's it for today... what are you thankful for today?
