After an extended weekend of rushing around my hometown to see friends and family, we’re back home… unpacking, unwinding, settling down. With all the hubbub, I neglected to write a “What I’m Thankful For” post on Thanksgiving. Not that I’m breaking any sort of rule but not posting one, but I enjoy actually sitting back and reflecting because usually I’m a non-stop, what-can-I-cross-off-my-checklist sort of gal.
But hey, what better day to reflect on what I’m thankful for than the dreaded, unproductive Monday after a holiday? So here goes:
- Despite the delay the traffic accidents caused us on the drive back home, I’m thankful that our car wasn’t involved.
- I’m thankful that my dad is recovering well from a heart attack just two weeks ago.
- I’m thankful for my rambunctious, hilarious, sweet, question-asking son… my favorite part of the day is seeing him walk into our bedroom with his pink bear tucked under his arm in the mornings.
- I’m thankful that my hubby is my parent-in-crime. We share the best and the worst of parenting together. Oh yeah, and he’s more patient than I am but I’m working on it.
- I’m thankful that I have a little wonder growing safely inside me, even if he is already causing me to lose sleep.
- I’m thankful that I can visit home for the holidays and not have to pop Tylenol because of all the family-drama. We’re a pretty mellow group.
- I’m thankful for silly things like my iPhone, Christmas decorations and the fact that Scrubs seems to keep resurrecting itself.
- Something’s gotta be said for Pumpkin Spice Lattes at Starbucks- I’m thankful a friend suggested I get addicted try them.
I’m sure I missed something uber-important so, just in case, I’m thankful for that too.

Not that there aren’t more significant things on your list, but seriously… let’s talk about “Scrubs.” How is it back? Don’t get me wrong — I lurve “Scrubs.” But how many times can it come back from the great beyond? Guess I’ll reserve the rest of my comments until after Tuesday.
Haha- so true. I looked at their website and was like- who are THOSE people? But luckily the old stand-bys are there too. Yes, we’ll have to see what happens tomorrow!
Hey I am thankful for the iPhone too! Not silly! I think I might have to try that latte from Starbucks, everyone says its good!
And prayers for your dad. Glad he is recovering well.
You make me want to try that Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbuck. Btw I have an award for you at http://mommylicious.net/2009/11/blog-award.
