THURSDAY THIRTEEN

Thanks to Lindsay for yet another blog topic Thursday Thirteen! I've kinda been in a funk the last few days...so I thought I would use this opportunity to list thirteen things that I am thankful for to help me snap out of it. I realize that God has blessed my life in so many ways.

1. My hubby Bob (this one is kinda obvious) he is a great husband, friend, father, and provider. It doesn't hurt that I think he is cute and funny and Reese is crazy about him too!

2. My beautiful daughter Reese, again obvious!

3. My home and all it's contents including a nice comfy bed. If you watched the Today Show this morning and saw that house float away how could you not be thankful for having a roof over your head.

4. No mice or snakes in my home...also a segment on the Today Show this morning. I HATE snakes and mice..YUCK! I'm thinking I should stop watching the Today Show for all it's scary/depressing topics??

5. Family and friends who love me even when I am in my funk.

6. Bob has a great job and I am able to stay home with Reese. I am so grateful that she doesn't have to go to daycare..it would break my heart to leave her.

7. My Mom is coming back tomorrow..YAY! I am really looking forward to the adult conversation during the day when Bob is at work (I've been feeling a little lonely lately..hence the funk). Also Bob and I get to go on a date this weekend ..oh boy!!

8. All of our basic needs are met including plenty of food on the table(maybe this is part of my POINTS counting challenge). So many people have so little that I think sometimes we should just stop and thank God for meeting our needs with such abundance.

9. Nap time...I love the fact that Reese takes a nap every single day at the same time and allows me one solid hour of ME time. This is my Young and the Restless/Internet surfing hour and I totally enjoy it. A little rest for me makes me a much more fun Mommy when she wakes up.

10. For the last two nights Reese has slept ALL NIGHT...10 wonderful hours! I can't even begin to tell you how much I like my sleep:) Let's all pray that this becomes a habit for her and she doesn't revert back to getting up a million and one times in the night again!

11. Diet Dr Pepper...it doesn't take much to excite me:) Yes I have been trying to cut back but sadly I am still addicted to this sweet treat!

12. The fact that I am healthy and have a healthy family. Also when we are sick we have health insurance so we never even think twice about seeing a doc. Really we are so lucky in this regard!

13. The fact that I am soooo clueless that I just wrote this Thursday post on a Wednesday:)
