In the wintertime, things are gloomy.
The sun hardly comes out, the kids are stuck indoors therefore driving eachother (and me) crazy, the house starts smelling musty no matter HOW well and how often you clean it, etc.
It's cold, dreary and gloomy out. I ACHE for springtime, I even planted an herb garden and it's starting to grow. I know it's a bit premature, but at least my oregano has little teeny leaves on it!
I find myself being grouchy. I'm irritated that the kids are out of school for the second day this week...seriously are they EVER in school?? I'm irritated it's raining/snowing outside and my head seriously hurts. Rather than complain, I wanted to share 5 things that I'm grateful for today...
1) Nick Jr.--it makes it possible for me to BLOG this morning!
2) Good friends--they pick me up when I need it most while simultaneously answering a prayer.
3) My super-huge green chair--Otherwise I'd have NO place to put all the clean laundry that needs to be folded and put away.
4) My FRIENDS episodes on DVD-- I always have one playing to keep me company. Could I BE any more obsessed?
5) Bon Jovi CDs-- Upbeat, uplifting and always inspires me. Thanks be to Josh Hobbs back in 11th grade for starting my collection.
Okay, not so gloomy anymore.
What are YOU thankful for?

I'm thankful me and my family don't live in Haiti. It's really breaking my heart seeing all that over there.
I'm thankful for your post! you're right...winter is so gloomy and I'm so ready for spring...
but I'm also grateful for many of the things you are too! :) Yay for Nick Jr. (or in our house it is Mickey Mouse Clubhouse) and Yay for Friends DVD's! sometimes you just need something to help you laugh! :)
(whether it is a 'work laugh' or a 'real laugh'!) :)
Love you!
I so needed this post today. I have been in a big self-pity funk. I am grateful for living near my mom...she keeps me sane most days.
I'm grateful to live close to my kids...who are wonderful parents and great adults and our good friends. I'm grateful that we can always learn new things...what a thrill. I'm grateful that no matter what happens to us or what we desire, no matter how insignificant, Heavenly Father is aware of us and hears the silent pleas of our hearts.
PS. And I'm thankful for technology and my laptop! And that someone invented "blogging for dummies."
I am thankful for hobbies and passions that help pull me out of a slump when I am in one. I am also thankful I am dating someone who is kind, and patient with me. :)
i'm thankful to be a mom and wife ...even when there are days when I feel like the worst mom and wife ever. I'm also thankful for small portions of dark chocolate, pre-natal vitamins, and clean water. oh...and i like bon jovi, too!
p.s. you need a girl's night out :)
