More than the big 4

Thankful Monday the week of Thanksgiving?
Anything I write would seem so trivial.

Here are the rules for this post. You must comment with something you are thankful for.
You CANNOT list any of the big 4: family, friends, home, food
I hope that you are all lucky enough to be thankful for these things, but we will all have ample enough opportunities to hear about those in the next few days.

Creativity my friends.
Today, I am thankful for a clean kitchen. I am mostly thankful that we are traveling and will not be home, so therefore my kitchen will STAY clean.

Also, traveling- very very grateful to the people at the Red Vine licorice company.
A 6 hour trip & there is still a bunch left in the bag.

What are you thankful for today?

  3. I'm thankful for disposable diapers...I can't even imagine what cleaning those would be like. Plus washer and dryers so I don't have to even think twice after I've thrown the exploded diaper in the garbage and put the pants and onesies in the wash.
    I'm thankful for my sewing machine. And quilt shops and pretty quilt patterns.

  7. I am thankful for warm blankets on cold mornings. I am thankful for the internet, where I can get my fill of autumn colours, since looking out my window shows me the same scene every day of the year. I am thankful for pokabellies, tickleknees and mega-smooches. And I'm thankful that I found someone to teach my Sunday school class this Sunday so I won't have to stress about from a thousand miles away.

  9. I am extremely grateful for my Church. A good friend of mine recently had a stillborn baby, and I'm grateful that because of my church, I know she will see him again.

  10. I am so extremely thankful for my sister (this doesn't count as "family" because it's much more specific). We're in the process of moving, and she has come over to help for the past two days and is coming again tomorrow. She has done everything from watching the kids, to packing boxes, to mopping behind the fridge and oven, to scrubbing the toilet, to washing the dishes, to helping load the truck, and everything in between. I am so thankful that she is so willing to help us out and do all those difficult and often yucky jobs!

  11. I am thankful for these little white pills that make morning sickness go away. I didn't get these with pregnancies 1 or 2, but this time, woo-hoo! Thank you, drug manufacturers for not letting my brain recieve the distress signal from my upset tummy!

  14. i am thankful for our car and distance! LOL i love my family and my husband's family, and i do wish that i can see them more...but if we DID live closer, i am not sure i would appreciate them as much. we would get caught up in the family dramas and all that fun stuff. (who WANTS to feel like they want to avoid their family??) i am also grateful for a husband with an abundance of common sense and a strong voice of reason!
