Finally Friday

With a slight headache and other assorted pregnancy ailments I hearby begin my 10Things I am Thankful for list :

1. Jake's calm temperment, I know inside he would like to strangle me today, instead he tells me he loves me and he will take care of "it".

2. XMRadio on DirecTV - 100% pure Christmas music with no commercials - helps me relax

3. God's forgiveness, no matter what, just ask (if I could only learn to forgive myself)

4. Washer/Dryer - as my laundry is being done I think of Jake's grandmother who did not have a washer or dryer until her 4th child was born. WOW! The things I take for granted

5. My dog, Wilson. He is such a sweet boy, playful and cuddly. He is fun.

6. Anna's sweet spirit as she must say night night to some toys, Wilson, the lights (anything she sees on her way to her room) - and this is just nap time

7. Today I am especially thankful that in 16 days I will be in Idaho with my family, it can't come soon enough

8. When I get to Idaho I will have an open spot on mom's lap for my head and some cuddling - at 27 I still like to be reminded I am someone's little girl

9. It is 2:40pm and in 1hr and 20 minutes Jake, Anna and I will have a weekend to be together, as a family, just doing whatever it is we do to entertain ourselves.

10. Christmas trees, their scent and how it transports us to a place of peace and warm spirits. I am certain it is a piece of heaven.
