Wow!  Ever lose track of the days of the week?  I woke early this morning and realized it’s Thursday…and I totally forgot about Thankful Thursday last night.  (Although, in truth, the Internet wasn’t working really well here last night anyway…)

Right now I’m thankful that I am out of bed before the kids and have a few minutes to write before the breakfast rush.

I’m thankful that I have those two blond headed kids who will soon fill this house with energy and laughter.

I’m thankful that I was able to actually FINISH a project yesterday.  (I tend to start organizing areas and then get distracted by the kids, and whatever I was doing just sits there for days…just waiting.)

I’m thankful for the beautiful weather we had yesterday!

I’m thankful for my husband, who works hard, and then comes home and gets piled on by the kids and listens to the stories of our day.

Okay, it’s your turn!  Take a moment from the busyness of life and think about what you are thankful for this week.

Share it in the comments below, or, if you have your own thankful post, link it up below!   (And if you tell your readers you linked up here, I’d be ever so thankful!)

Happy Thursday!  One day until the weekend — and yes, stay at home moms count down the work week, too!

This week I am loving Mama Kat’s writing prompt: List your 6 favorite summer moments so far.

My 6 favorite summer moments so far, that I am so thankful for, are:

1. Watching my daughter’s dreams come true when she met the Disney princesses.
2. Getting to see my dad’s face when my sister’s family surprised him at the rest area on the way to Florida.
3. My son confiding in me that he knew Lightning McQueen and his friends were real because Doc Hudson turned on and off his lights by himself at the hotel.
4. Watching my kids catch fireflies;  just thinking of my 4 year old grinning and racing to me, shouting, “I got one, I got one!” makes me smile.
5. Every single second I spent on the beach that week in Florida.  I loved the powdery white sand, the beautiful sunsets, and hunting for shells with my babies.
6. Wow, looking over my list, all but one had to do with our trip to Florida….  And number 6 is going to continue that trend with — watching my husband relax and enjoy himself while on vacation.

   

There you have it, my Thankful Thursday this week.

I’d love to hear about some of your favorite moments so far this summer!

This week I just couldn’t resist Mama Kat’s writing prompt; I mean, writing a limerick just sounded like a fun way to handle Thankful Thursday.

But I needed a topic….

Thankfully, my daughter presented me with one…

Trouble at Grandma’s

There once was a girl with a marker,

Black and permanent, on Grandma’s table.

Soap and scrubbing wouldn’t remove it,

But hand-sanitizer was quite able!

That’s right, hand-sanitizer really does remove permanent marker!

I’d love to hear what you’re thankful for this week!  Bonus points for those brave enough to write it in a limerick!

And, if you have a thankful post of your own, be sure to link it up with us this week!
