Thankful?

Today I am thankful for kids that are smarter than me and make me feel like a dumbass in front of an entire room of people. I know, it's a double-edged sword here.

Thankful

It's almost Thanksgiving. I was going to do the thing where you say something you're thankful for every day, but I didn't get it started on the 1st, and I hate being late. But today I can say what things I am thankful for.
I'm thankful for a husband who has stood by me through the good and the bad, who goes to work every day to keep us clothed, housed, and fed and beyond. I'm thankful for three awesome kids, each who have their own very unique personalities and make me smile every day. I'm thankful for friends that care. I'm thankful for my parents and in-laws, who always do the best they can. I'm thankful for a doctor that has patiently worked to get me to a point where I can feel thankful and smile.

A new hope

About this time of year I start blogging again. Blogger/Google won't let me combine my accounts and it's too much work to be logging in and out of different google accounts, so I gave up and started a new blog. Blogger won't give me my old blog's name, even though I changed the name of the old one. Oh well, it was mostly just me bitching about my extended family and my mom regularly freaking out on me about this time of year, and the crazy that runs rampant in my family, including me. It seems that the past four years I've been in a slump and it's time to get out of it.

I'm going to try to keep this a little less bitchy and a little more positive. I need a bright spot in my life. I need somewhere to tell myself how awesome I am so I can start believing it. Somewhere to encourage myself. Somewhere I can tell myself all I have to be thankful for. Somewhere I can be my own cheerleader. And if I can't do that for myself, no one else will.
