What I am Thankful For

Well B asked on her blog what we are all thankful for, so here goes.

Top of my list at this exact moment are Caramel Correttos ;)

I am always grateful for my parents and siblings. My brother who babysat the kids on his day off this week without hesitating a single moment when I needed emergency babysitting NOW so I could go to work, my sister who even before she had children would visit all the time and take trips with us, and now comes with her son Deklen, my children love them and talk about them constantly, and my parents who love my kids almost as much as I do. And sneak them Kinder Eggs when I am not looking (what, you thought they wouldn't tell ? LOL!) And grateful that my parents did such a good job (accident? luck?) with all us kids that we are close and can depend on each other like no one else can. And knowing that my own children will learn by our example and know that no matter what, not just their own parents are their shelter and rock in life, but they have an entire "village" that loves them :) , makes my heart glad daily.

Oh, and the fact that my parents are watching the kids in January so Mike and I can get away for a weekend makes me kinda like them.

And every, single Friday evening, there is always this moment when I sit back and think of how grateful I am that I got through the week. That I fufilled my responsibilities at work, The Princess and I spent our Thursday at Mr K's school and I got my volunteer hours in, that we managed to have clean clothes and groceries in the house, and lately, its been one fieldtrip/playdate a week as well which means that they are getting out for some super fun. Notice I don't mention that my house is clean, cause, yah, that would mean I go without sleep and clean at night, because there are only so many daytime hours in a day!

On that note I am grateful my position at work is almost done and I can go back to casual until the position I want is up.

I am grateful that I live in a city where my schooling or unschooling choices are AMAZING!

I am grateful that my new year is going to be such a NEW year literally for us, with changes made for the better of our family.

And these are literally what I think of daily, things are incredibly busy, I honestly can't remember ever having so much going on in my life. I think the word non-stop applies to our life right now. So I am always thinking of the grateful side of things because if I don't, it would be waaay to easy to start complaining and then never stop!

Oooh and I am soo thankful for my new jeans that I bought with the giftcard I won at the Telus party!

So tag, your turn, what are you grateful for?
