1. the ability to work from home. Beyond the normal benefits of being able to be at home with my kids, I am shielded from a lot of the normal day-to-day drama of working in an office. I just work away in my little bubble. It's nice.
2. a house that's already decorated for Christmas and a gift list that's almost completed. Having my shopping already nearly done by this time always helps me relax a little and actually enjoy the season.
3. children who try to be better. Things haven't been great with the kids lately (as evidenced by the canceling of a recent holiday) but I know they are trying to be better. And when A and I try harder to be more patient, it's reflected in the kids' behavior.
4. a husband who understands me. We've been married for eight and a half years, but it's always nice to know that he still totally gets me--the silly things that make me laugh, the neuroses about a clean house that make me clean the bathrooms on a Friday night, and the little things that help me be a happier wife and mom.
5. and most importantly, the gospel and its refining influence in my life.

Is that you or A. cleaning the bathroom on a Friday night? I know what you're talking about there--I love a clean house.
oh, it's me. A helps out, but I'm the one who's obsessed.
I totally get the cleaning on a Friday night, sometimes I too feel the need at odd times. BUT a clean bathroom is worth it.
Loved your list! I need to do make a "thankfulfor" list myself, as it would help me get some perspective... and YOU would be on the list! Thanks for everything... and I mean, EVERYTHING! --K. XOXO
Is it wrong that sometimes I want to clean on Sunday Night? (...and I have.) That is a great list. I need to make one.
what about little front teeth with spaces in it, I'm thankful for his...post more on their behavoir...did canceling Halloween work?
Those front teeth are courtesy of his finger-sucking habit. We're trying to break it, but it's slow-going. Behavior-wise: It's still a struggle around here but as A said last night, the kids *seem* to be a bit better lately.
