Grasping at straws

Today was one of those days that was just so darn ordinary (see previous post) it is really hard to conjure up much gratitude.  Oh, I am always thankful in a sort of vague I'm thankful for my life etc... way- but I would like to try and attempt to be a bit more specific than that.

So... here I go...

I am thankful that I don't have to be 13 again.  I am especially thankful I don't have to be 13 while sporting a new set of braces on my teeth.  I never had braces (yes, he hates me for that) but it really doesn't seem fun.  I am also thankful he is handling it with such aplomb and good humor.

I am thankful Big J's science project is done- a day early.

I am thankful that Little T has school tomorrow after having the past three days off.  I've loved having him home... but, well, it's enough.

I am thankful Pumpkin was asleep by 8:30 tonight.

I am thankful that I have the sort of husband who doesn't bat an eye (or complain) when he walks in the door at the end of the day and I say, I have no idea what we are having for dinner.

I am thankful I have very little on my schedule for the next two days because I really need to get some housecleaning done.  And before I allow myself to mutter even a single whine about that, I will say that I am thankful I have a house to clean.

So, see there?  There's always something...

Next thing you know I'll be changing my name to Pollyanna.
