Michelle over at “My Crazy Life with a Toddler” wrote a beautiful post for this week’s Thursday Thirteen, which encompassed all that she is thankful for!

What a beautiful thing it is to remember to be thankful!  So… here is my list of things to be thankful for (not to be a copycat but she had a pretty great idea ya know?)

1.  I am thankful for my husband.  The other day he put duck tape on the end of a broom handle to get a leggo piece out from underneath the stairs.  My son’s puppy dog brown eyes didn’t help matters much.. but it just goes to show how great of a dad husb really is!

2.  I am thankful for my kids!  They really are great kids… even if some days I want to jump in bed and pull the covers over my head… or when everyone suddenly becomes inconsolable at the same moment.  It’s great to be a mom and these little human beings are the bright spot in my world!

3.  I am thankful for my friends.  Life would be so crazy without good friends to laugh with and share with! (and to call when said kids are inconsolable)

4.  I am thankful for my health.  There is a lot to be said about having good health!  It is something we take for granted everyday until one day it goes downhill…

5.  I am thankful for Diet Pepsi Max — would not know how to survive without it.  Period. (4-month old… middle of the night crying… need I say more?)

6.  I am thankful that tomorrow is Thursday… Ugly Betty, Grey’s Anatomy and The Office… WOOT!

7.  I am thankful for Incubus (the band).  For no particular reason other than their music awesomely inspires me!

8.  I am thankful for tissues with lotion… great on little runny noses, red eyes, stuff like that.

9.  I am thankful for Digg.com and television without pity.  Whenever I need some serious candid sarcasm, I turn to those sites.

10.  I am thankful for humus.  Because it is soooo good!
