Thankful Thursday

Happy Thursday! Another week is flying by, and the weekend is almost here – I think that is one of the things I am most Thankful for today.  I just finished up painting the last coat of Walle-e Yellow on Wing Nut’s room!

I am Thankful that I found my lost van registration bill, and that I finally got that taken care of! Thank you kind to the Officer who quietly told the nice man behind the counter at the auto shop, that my vehicle tags were expired, and then casually slipped out the door instead of giving me a ticket. Without that simple bit of kindness, I for one, would have never noticed that my van tags were expired, and secondly, by not giving me a ticket, he saved me from trying to figure out how exactly I was going to pay for that ticket.

Thank you again to my BFF from around the corner who comes a few days a week to hang out with the kids early in the morning while I take a few of the other kids to school! Krysti, you rock!

Simple things I am Thankful for this week, my DVR is suddenly recording again. Hot Tea on cold mornings, Nutella on a spoon, a baby boy who turned 22 months old yesterday, a baby girl who is has an infectious smile who always makes me giggle, Homeschool lessons that are exciting for my 8 year old, my 6 year old who is getting all of his work done in school, and a 3 year old who has spent another week wearing big boy underwear.

I am also Thankful that I found that lost, frozen chicken that managed to elude me for most of the day. Thank goodness for deep freeze, that bird was still frozen solid after setting out all day on a stack of paint cans. Still can’t figure out how I managed to walk by it twenty times yesterday and still not see it. I guess it just didn’t want to be eaten for dinner last night. Sorry to say little birdie, you are dinner tonight! Boy do you smell good!

As always, I am Thankful for my happy, healthy, wild little beasties that run around my house all day long driving me crazy, I am Thankful that we have a roof over our heads and for our wonderfully supportive group of friends and family and all the ways they help us.

Here is how Thankful Thursdays works:

1. Post your Thankful Thoughts on your blog. Somewhere in your post please mention The Nut House and/or http://ourhappynuthouse.com/ so that your friends, family and visitors know where to find other Thankful Thoughts. You can also grab my Thankful Thursdays banner and link to that. Once you have done that you can come back here and add your post to MckLinky.

Not everyone has a blog, so:

2. If you don’t have a blog, you can leave a Thankful Thoughts comment in the comment section.

3. You can show your Thankful Thoughts any way you like, as a list, as a story, as one word, one sentence or just a picture. Have fun!
