Despite the events of my life recently, I am a very thankful person and I'd like to outline a little of what I'm thankful for. I think it will improve my mood a little...
1. I am very thankful that that precious little morsel up there is walking like a champ now. Only choosing to crawl when he's either really mad and on the verge of throwing it all down in the middle of the floor ~ this happens between 3 and 5 times a day.. minimum... he has his mama's attitude ~ or when he's in a really big hurry to get somewhere. I'm so proud of him. He's even more edible than he was before now. And is it horrible that I think it's the cutest thing in the world to strip him down and send him on his way? I swear, baby boy parts have got to be the cutest things in creation.
2. I am immensely thankful for my friends, both near and far, who have shown me so much support. It will never be forgotten!
3. I'm thankful for my discovery of Alli, it strips the fat out of my food, which is sometimes gross... let's face it really gross, but it is freakin awesome!!! All that fat is now going into my septic system, not onto my thighs.... YES!
4. I am very thankful that I chose to go to college and get that degree that I always have to fall back on in times of less fortune.
5. I am most thankful for having two very healthy children. I know that's not a given and I'm just so thankful that I was blessed with their perfect health.
6. I am thankful for Emma's sweet, kindhearted nature. She teaches me how to be a better person every day.
7. I am thankful for this amazing house I'm raising my children in. I know it may not be ours forever, but I will forever treasure every second we have living here in this haven.
8. I am thankful for reruns of Friends, Seinfeld and The Golden Girls, as they have been what has made me smile this past month.
9. I'm thankful to Hostess for making Mini Muffins. You have made my boy very happy.... almost to the point of needing therapy to be weaned off them each morning.
10. I'm going to end here.... I'm thankful for my life. Sometimes it's not the best. I'm definitely skilled in making bad decisions, which is quite often pointed out to me... sometimes kindly, sometimes, not so much... but this life is mine and I'm very aware that I am fortunate in many ways. There's always someone else who has it way, way worse... why is it that that is actually a source of comfort? Anyway... So, for my life... I'm very, very thankful.

You know that I am here for you!!!! I liked your comment on the Ali too:) Gosh, what is it with me?!? I guess I have poop on my brain....maybe thats because I'm so uncomfortable!
Everything that is meant to happen WILL happen. Just don't force anything. It is hard when you come to a crossroads in your life, but you will survive:)
Way to count your blessings and look on the bright side! I'm so proud of you for keeping your chin up (even if it is just for a little while!)
