Let me count the ways ...

Since I've heard from more than one old lady, young lady and wisdom-imparter along the way to "always be thankful," I suppose that's what I'll do today.  And here is my list, all brought to my attention by my one and a half year-old:

I'm thankful for ...

1. knowing that whenever I need to find something, I have 2 places to look -- the toilet and the trash.  What an organized little boy I'm raising.
2. never being able to finish an entire meal, thanks to my mooch of a toddler.  Goodbye pregnancy weight, right??
3. having no need for an alarm clock.  They just waste space on your night stand anyway, plus sleep is apparently for the lazy.
4. my extensive knowledge of who was on Sesame Street this week ... this is now how I recognize celebrities.  Sorry US Weekly, we are no longer friends.

Consider this a foreshadowing of blog posts to come, as each of these points obviously has a story attached.  However, I'm off to bed (see point #3).  Goodnight!
