Thankful Thursday #2

*I am thankful that I have had healthy, full-term babies. It seems lately that I've known more & more women who have given birth to babies that have had to go to the NICU. I can't imagine how hard it must be to leave your precious baby at the hospital & to be told when you can visit them.

*I am thankful for disposable diapers. I know some of you out there still use those earth-friendly cloth diapers. I love this planet, but I will look for other ways to save it!

*I am thankful that it's finally the time of year that I can listen to Christmas music without people thinking that I am totally crazy! The boys & I have been rocking out this past week to all of our favorites. I love it so much, that I've even been excited about listening to Disney Christmas. My boys have a new favorite, Winter Wonderland on Harry Connick Jr's new album. He sings it with his daughter--it's so lively & fun! Oh, to have that kind of talent in the genes!

*I am thankful for internet shopping. Thanks to the internet I am almost finished with my Christmas shopping. It's so nice to be able to sit around late at night in my PJ's & shop. No one whining that they're not having fun, no begging for things (it's almost Christmas for Pete's sake), no looking for a place to nurse a baby, no carrying armloads of bags around while pushing a stroller, no going to the store multiple times looking for this years "hot", but sold-out item, no lines, no crazy people, just me & my computer :-)

*I am thankful for warm blankets. This time of year, I start pulling out all of our warm blankets. I can't imagine what it's like to be cold at night. As I see homeless people, I almost feel guilty that I have 5 beds with layers of thick blankets. I think I will do something about it & donate blankets to the homeless this holiday season.

Remember BE THANKFUL :-)
