Things I am Thankful for

Quiet "me" time in the mornings before the girls wake up
Cell phones. Seriously, how did we ever live without them?
Our vegetable garden. Which is hard at work producing vegetables right this very minute. 10 radishes and 1 green onion stalk so far. What I'll do with 10 radishes, who knows? I dreamt of having a garden the whole time I was at school. I even investigated community plots, but it never panned out. I get a serious thrill from planting a tiny seed and having it come to life. It's magical to me. My backyard has turned into my very own private grocery store.
Good, accessible healthcare for my girls. Cause boy, have we used it this week!
My sweet Eliza saying in her cute 2 year old voice, "Thank you for breakfast/lunch/dinner, Mama (whatever the case may be, but more often than not, every meal is lunch)." It makes preparing meals much more rewarding.
Being able to share clothes with my sister, greatly expanding my clothing selection
2 hours of FREE babysitting a day at the YMCA where I work out
TiVo
Space heaters
The sun that melts away the yuckiness of winter
Brand-new toothbrushes
My new pivot-arm toilet paper holder. It makes changing the roll fun.
My friend Lauren who has an awesome blog and from whom I "borrowed" this idea
