Confession: I was a total grump yesterday. I don't know if it was because of the serious heat we experienced or what, but I decided that I'd better make another list of things I'm grateful for to get me in a better mood. I can not only say that it worked like a charm, but it turned today into one of the most productive Saturdays we've had in a long time. We finally crossed some daunting things off our to-do list this morning and it felt like a million bucks! I can't say that would have happened if I was still being a turd. The things a simple, good attitude can do! Anyway, here's my grateful list:
-A work-free weekend that gave us more time to play with V, 'nest', shop at Target, and go out on fun dates.
-Kit Kats and rainier cherries.
-A handy husband who went from room to room this morning touching up paint, hanging art, cleaning ceiling fans, etc.
-A packed hospital bag. The end is near!
-The mini baby shower a.k.a "sprinkle" my thoughtful Sisters and Mom threw me last Monday against my will. They took me out for dinner and yogurt and all came bearing gifts. I forgot that clean, teeny rompers and onesies are way cuter than stretched out, yellow-stained ones. Thanks for ignoring my demand to not bring any presents guys, I don't know what I was thinking. ;)
-These two little buddies pictured below. Where I would be without them, I don't want to know.

I love that you make a grateful list--it's such a smart way to balance our lives when we're deterred by stress & distractions.
I'm grateful for your gratitude.....must be contagious!
You had me at Rainer cherries. I actually preferred my sprinkle to my first baby shower - it felt like a girl party and instead on individual gifts they ganged up and got us those crazy expensive car seats that come after the buckets ;) it's crazy that 2 kids means 6 car seats!!! 2 for each vehicle and 2 for the grandparents to share...
love this! I think that it is so important to make gratitude lists
It was sooooo hot. Record breaking June 1st?!?!?!
