Thanks!

Every time I see someone posting what they're thankful for I wanna jump on that gravy train! (Get it? Gravy? Thankful? Thanksgiving? *nudge nudge*)

SO here are 9 things since I'm 9 days in to November and have yet to run through the barrier to platform 11/24 (That's Thanksgiving this year, in case you didn't know).

Day 1: Being alive! Woo! If I wasn't alive I wouldn't be here and wouldn't have so many many things to be thankful for!

Day 2: My husband. Without whom I would be living a completely different life.

Day 3: My baby! She is so fabulous. She's adorable, funny, smart and just wonderful. I cannot imagine my life without her. When I do, I cry.

Day 4: Our dog. Maddie is the most amazing dog ever. She is quiet, small and so gentle. She lets Peyton play with her and plays tug-of-war with her too! She has never bitten anyone and when she gets annoyed she just licks.

Day 5: Cold weather. This summer (up here) was by no means unbearable, but I love wearing sweaters, hoodies, socks and boots! And I ADORE dressing Peyton up in her hot pink pea coat :)

Day 6: Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. I wouldn't be able to make dinner without something to distract Peyton. So thank you, Disney Jr! (and DVR so there's always an episode ready!)

Day 7: The internet. I wouldn't have as many good recipes, cleaning tips, exercise routines or creative craft ideas without you!

Day 8: Steven's job. If he didn't have such a good job we wouldn't have medical insurance, dental insurance or enough of a paycheck for me to stay home! If I had to work it would probably only pay for day care and then our apartment would always be messy because I would have zero time to clean.

Day 9: Nap time. It used to last longer, but now I do an hour long workout video. By the time I've worked out, showered and gotten dressed I have about 10 minutes before Peyton wakes up. Not so bad though. At least I'm not just sitting on my chubby buttocks watching my stories.

Look at me! 9 things I'm thankful for AND a blog post. Get. That.
