thankful for...

hmm...never do one post on what i'm thankful for so now that i have some "free" time, let me think about this...

• thankful for a husband who deals with my irrational behaviors, is agreeable to pretty much anything i demand, has unending patience but lets me know when i'm beyond ridiculous, is a wonderful daddy...and everything else that he does for me and our family that i probably show no appreciation for...
• thankful for healthy, happy, loving babies who i can look at and truly feel like i've accomplished something good in my life
• thankful for a mom who up and moves to oahu because i don't think i could trust my kids with anyone else and who lives with the four of us in a tiny little apartment even when she has a house all to herself on maui
• thankful for in-laws who take our kids almost every sunday so dave and i can do what we need or want to do
• thankful for a completely non-traditional family that helps me to understand my kids at school and their non-white-picket fence lives better
• thankful for best friends who keep me sane and on the right track
• thankful for my kids at school...after feeling a bit burnt out these past two years, these kids remind me of why i really do love teaching and connecting with my kids
• thankful for a career i love, coworkers (for the most part) i enjoy, and a teaching situation that is pretty much all i could ask for
• thankful that fantasy football will be over in a few weeks and my husband promised me that this is his second to the last season...bwahahaha
