Thankvember Day #11

Today I am THANKFUL for all of our wonderful Veterans!!  They have risked there lives and sacrificed time with their families to make sure we are able to live in a FREE country and live our lives the way we do.  We are extremely lucky as a country that these men and women have sacrificed so we don't have too.  Thank you to our Veterans!!  We appreciate you and know that our freedom would not be possible without you!

Thankvember Day #10

Today I am THANKFUL for nothing profound :)  Honestly today I am thankful that Baby K has not thrown up anymore!!  Sadly the poor Baby woke up this morning covered in sickness :(  She stunk, her room stunk and it was not the way you want to start a Saturday morning!!  Especially when it is in the upper 60s!!  But thankfully she has been absolutely fine the whole day and it seems like maybe dinner did not sit right on her tummy.  But after 4 baths to get the smell away lets hope that it was food related and not actual sickness related!

Thankvember Day #9

Today I am THANKFUL for all the wonderful teachers I have had through my life.  From my very 1st teacher in Kindergarten, Mrs. Marker to my teachers in High School and College.  Without them I would not be the person that I am today.

Teachers make more of an impact on children than most people ever give them credit for.  The sacrifice their time, energy and hearts for our children and they doing it happily and willingly.  Not only do they teach them "facts" but they teach them how to be apart of society and how to be the adult that they will once grow up to be.  Parents think they have a hard time being the parent but teachers love ALL their children just as much and care just as much about who they will be come.  Teachers are there for children when no one else is or cares to be.  They put their heart and soul into every child and every little thing they teach them!!!

Thankvember Day #8

Since today is the 8th of November and A was born on the 8th (September) I thought today would be the perfect day to dedicate to her!!!  I am extremely THANKFUL not only for my 1st born but also my 1st born daughter!!  She is the one who made me a Mommy and that alone is enough to be thankful for :)

Thankvember Day #7

Today I am THANKFUL for my Mama :)  She may drive me crazy at times but I know she is always there.  I spend more time on the phone with her in any given day than anyone else!!!  I know that I can always call her and she will be there to talk.  She loves both of my girls like nothing else and lets them get away with way too much stuff when we visit!!!! (HINT, HINT Mother!!!)  She lets A play on her scooter and do anything she wants and spoils both girls as much as she can!  A and Baby K both LOVE Mimi and talk about her all the time!  Baby K will sometimes just start yelling Mimi!!!  I am very thankful that we have gotten a lot closer since I graduated high school and in the last 10 years have formed a wonderful friendship!  Love you :)

Thankvember Day #6

So I forgot to actually press the publish button yesterday on this post :( So here it is now!!

Today let's keep this short, simple and sweet :) Today I am THANKFUL for the country I live in (US), the fact that we are a democracy and that we all come from a different walk of life!!! So no matter if the election goes the way you would like it to or not be thankful that you have the right to voice your opinion!

Thankvember Day #5

Today I am THANKFUL for my Daddy!!!  No matter what has happened in the past or what is currently happening he is always there for me no matter what I need.  When I need to vent or cry or whatever it may be I know I can call him and he will always listen and do what he can to help.  Like today I was at a lose for what to do anymore .  So I called him and within minutes after hanging up the phone I had a slew of emails in my inbox with links that might help!!!  He is always there to check on me and make sure that everything will be OK.

Thankvember Day #4

Today I am not THANKFUL for anything major.  Today I am thankful for the extra hour I get to sleep!!!  Sunday is the day that the girls and I get up the earliest out of the whole week so that we can make it to church :)  Since the girls usually sleep longer they have no problem letting Mommy and Daddy get that extra wonderful hour of sleep!!!  Thank you daylight savings time :)

Thankvember Day #3

Since I had such a wonderful night out with the Hubby last night :) today I am THANKFUL for Date Nights!!!  They do not come often in our house but when they do they are a wonderful thing!!  We do not have family close to watch the kids whenever Hubby and I want to go out.  So all date nights have to be a planned event!  That means we have to figure out when we want to go out, find someone to watch the kids, and decide what to do :)

Thankvember Day #2

I will dedicate Day #2 to my wonderful Husband!!!  I am extremely thankful to have him in my life.  He has been there through many ups and downs over the last 13 (almost 13 1/2) years of my life.  I am thankful that we met at an early age and can call ourselves TRUE high school sweethearts!  We met the summer before his senior year and my sophomore year!  I am thankful the he knew at an early age how much he loved me and proposed at my senior prom. 

Thankvember Day #1

Day #1 is super easy for me!!!  Especially after the way the week started!  Today I am extremely THANKFUL that we did not lose power or have any major damage from Hurricane Sandy.  We do have some leaking in our attic and the floor up there is nasty :(  I live outside of DC in VA and we were expected to have extreme weather.  They were predicting it to be so bad that they closed the government for 2 days and schools for 3!!  Thankfully we were not hit as hard as the were anticipating!

Thankvember Blog Hop - Preview

SAH CD Mama will be involved in a wonderful event this November, Thankvember hosted by The Vagabond Studio.  This time of year we all get so wrapped up in everything that is going on and what will be happening in the next 2 months!  This year I have teamed up with some other wonderful blogs to make sure that we stay thankful this time of year!!

Each day for the month of November I will be posting what I am thankful for.  Some may be repeats of past days because of what happened on that particular day but I will try not to have many repeats!  And they will ALL be what I am truly thankful for and not just something made up so I can post :)
