New Mom: Giving Thanks Too

Modern Mom has inspired me, and I too thought I’d reflect on what I’m thankful for this holiday season.
1) I’m thankful that the project I’m working on at the office which normally takes 8 weeks but has been compressed to a three week deadline (one of those weeks being Thanksgiving!) will also be over in three weeks
2) I’m thankful that NewDad made a surprise visit to the child care center’s potluck dinner last night
3) I’m thankful that NewGirl seems to be getting over a three month stint of separation anxiety at drop off
4) I’m thankful that we decided to host Thanksgiving at a restaurant so that we can retire to home and enjoy each other’s company with a clean kitchen and empty dishwasher
5) I’m thankful for full nights’ sleep, stable employment, access to great health care, good friends, a caring family, clean laundry, full bellies, a warm home, an adorable daughter, an earnest husband, my fellow bloggers, and the freedom to enjoy it all.
