Nodan mamomamo
Nodan mamomamo- Thank you (in Hindi)
This afternoon I was blessed to walk to school with one of the mother's from Claire's class. She has triplets Claire's age and twins in first grade. That alone blows my mind. She is Indian, and admitted to me that she 'doesn't cook American food'. I wonder if she'd teach me to cook some Indian food? She's such a calming and quiet personality. I like her. I am adding her to the list of people I want to get to know better this year. (Nov. to Nov.)
In other news, Nick is sick. Claire got glowing reviews at parent teacher conference and my husband returns home. :)
And now some new things I am thankful for.
14 Ibuprofen
15 blankets
16 sippy cups
17 husbands - in particular mine but I'm also thankful for the wonderful husbands that my sisters found. (whoa, who typed that!)
18 Socks
19 crayons and coloring books so good for stress relief
20 pillows!

Merci
10 footsie pajamas -
and the fact that I have called them footie pajamas forever and when I typed that into my phone it auto corrected it to footsie pajamas. I just love that my phone knows what footsie pajamas are :) (and yes it corrected it as a phrase and not just the single word)
11 Warm showers on cloudy days.
There is just something about steam that makes everything just melt away... worries, frustrations, anger and of course dirt.
12 Sister in laws
and not being alone on my anniversary while my hubby works hard so he can take me out somewhere REALLY nice :)
13 (bonus!) Hugs
It never ceases to amaze me how a hug can change my mood in a second. And it seems like the smaller the arms the happier it makes me. :)

7 Great kids who let me enjoy a lovely breakfast all by myself and who slept like they knew about daylight savings. :)
8 Sunshine! and beautiful fall leaves to enjoy.
It's a bit cold but not too cold to be out and about. (Glad I'm not running the marathon although I wish I was seeing the start today)
9 I'm thankful for my husband.
He's been away for what feels like the entire weekend and even though I'm still up (coffee at 4pm) and he's asleep it's nice just to have him close.

Thankful
This year I have had a lot to be thankful for.
I have a house that has heat and electricity and running water, I have a husband who comes home to his family at night, I have two healthy and intelligent children who have good manners (for the most part). I have a wonderful relationship with my parents and siblings who I wouldn't trade for anything.
This year I will participate in the '100 Things I'm Thankful for Event'. Started by my mother and perpetuated by my sisters.
I think I'll have 3 things each day.. one in the morning, one in the afternoon and one in the evening before bed, just to keep my thankful the whole day not just one rushed weekend evening when I realize I have not been thankful for an entire week. (But who knows.. I work well last minuet and when guilt or pressure are applied... )
Here goes:
1 Missing the UPS guy yesterday so I know there is a package coming today (it's like Christmas)
2 Having people to giggle with over the stupid things.
3 The ability to wink and the fact that it's the little things that impress my kids... I know it won't be like that forever.
