Welcome to My Roller Coaster

I guess I like that when I'm upset I clean. As I was having a bit of a crummy birthday, I did some cleaning today. I hadn't planned on that.

1. I am thankful that my dad is still hangin' in there.
   
   
2. I am thankful for loving touches.
   
   
3. I am thankful for time, more time.

I like that I can laugh at myself.

1. I am thankful for my husband coming up with the crazy idea of quitting my FT job. I can not tell you how much I appreciate him for it!
   
   
2. I am thankful the February birthday celebration came early at work so that I could call it quits a day early. I felt I should be there, being 1 of the 2 February birthday people. We had cake and leftover ice cream from last month's party. I even got to request butter cream icing, yum!
   
   
3. I am thankful for Craigslist. It can be a pain to meet up with people, but probably not as much of a pain as I find it to go SHIP stuff!

I like that I rock at parking! I don't do parallel (I don't know many that do), but I can back into a parking space like nobody's business! I back in almost every time I come home so that my husband can just drive right on out in the early morning. (Also convenient for me after my lunch break.)

1. I am thankful for those cheap Great Value stuffed chicken breasts. They're really pretty darned yummy. Sasha likes them, too.
   
   
2. I am thankful that Sasha can have her Daddy here while Mommy is at work and vice versa.
   
   
3. I am thankful that Sasha's rash has almost completely disappeared already. It came and went very fast!

I am suckin' on this challenge, sorry Byn! I even have a sticky note on my computer. Some days I don't think I've done it, but get on and I already did. Then other days I don't even think of it.

I like my response to health issues with Sasha. I worry, yes. I freak out a little sometimes, yes. But I also research and find someone with some answers if I don't have them. BTW, Sasha seems to be suffering from Roseola right now, but she is past the "suffering" part and is just covered with a rash.

1. I am thankful that Sasha just seems to have Roseola and nothing more serious.
   
   
2. I am thankful for our new ginormous television my brother passed along to us.
   
   
3. I am thankful for the free spider babies we got a while back. They are fun to watch, feed, etc.

I like that I am an "Attachment Parent" / "Natural Parent."

1. I am thankful for the love of my dear old friend, Melissa. I miss her. I am so glad (thankful, really!) that we reconnected last year.
   
   
2. I am thankful I discovered minimalism. I was working toward it already, but learning how other people are doing it has been great!
   
   
3. I am thankful Sasha has her dog slippers my brother got for her. She is sick and has wanted to wear them all day, which is just fine. It is sweet that she has "comfort shoes."
   

Oh wow... It is February 15th and I haven't posted since February 11th... and even then I did it after midnight. Damn. I fail. Still...

I like that I am a risk taker.

1. I am thankful that I am finally winning (and have possibly won) the lice war with Sasha.
   
   
2. I am thankful for having fun people at my workplace.
   
   
3. I am thankful for the opportunity to work less.
   

I like that I am flexible. I can happily switch from one task to another or walk away from my keyboard to move pallets or to play with Sasha.

1. I am thankful that we got diapers before the storms hit and haven't run out at all during all of this snow.
   
   
2. I am thankful for the chaos at work. I know everyone is hating the angry customers calling in lately, but I kind of enjoy the craziness of it all.
   
   
3. I am thankful for Vitamin B-12. When I was facing fatigue, it seemed to do the trick. I'm also glad that it is nearly tasty!

I like that I am SO open. 'Nuff said. You know me, you know what I mean. :-)

1. I am thankful for the Natural Parenting Blog Carnival. I enjoy participating.
   
   
2. I am thankful to have discovered child led weaning / introduction to solids. It was/is so right for us!
   
   
3. I am thankful for hot tea and Walker's shortbread, especially after a long, bitterly cold night at work!

I like that I am an Attachment Parent, but then I can't imagine being anything else.

1. I am thankful that my husband supports the parenting choices I make, but will still ask / discuss any decisions that he doesn't understand or with which he disagrees.
   
   
2. I am thankful that the car blocking us in after the blizzard did get moved in time for my stir-craziest-get-me-out-of-this-friggin'-apartment day. And that we got groceries!
   
   
3. I am thankful for my friend Angel that does our taxes every year now. I'm intimidated by the tax-doing.

I love that I am good at being pregnant. I did have some trouble with nausea last time, but still... I am very attentive to health issues, etc. and just enjoy being pregnant. I'd like to do it again.

1. I am thankful for Byn, who has inspired me time and time again in so many different ways.
   
   
2. I am thankful for Amanda because I know I can count on her to never judge me. I'm pretty certain she'd help me hide bodies.
   
   
3. I am thankful for the lost loves I've had in my life. They helped me to become who I am today.
