Thursday Thirteen

Thanks to Goofy Girl for her banner :)

Thirteen things I'm thankful for this week....

1. MOMD, not a second goes by that I don't think about how appreciative, how insanely grateful and how god damn LUCKY I am to have him in my life....fuck seriously, I could write an entire POST, an entire T13 on just him alone!

2. My children, they are what I have devoted my life to.... to their happiness, to their well being, I spent twenty some years wishing, praying and hoping for children and I have been blessed with two pretty amazing ones.

3. My sister, for so many years growing up we just hated each other, ok, I'll accept a great deal of the blame on that one. But since having children we were able to 'click', in such an amazing, insane way......she has been there for me in so many ways, so many times and I just can't imagine my life with out her. She's been such a ROCK for me.

4. My friends.....the past few months have opened my eyes to my true friends. When times became tough and drama exhumed my life, they stuck around through it all to support me. And even ones who at first were taken aback by my actions, choices I made....eventually came to the conclusion our friendship was important to them and I whole heartedly appreciate that.

5. HighER speed internet. Woo fucking Hoo!!! The other night I sat in my chair, with a cat my lap, using my (are you ready for this?!?!?!) LAPTOP!!!! (ok. Shut up you all....you just have no clue how restricted 'internet/computer use' has been in my life up until recently).

6. A friend of mine who invited us to Thanksgiving out of the goodness of her heart. She has been an *amazing* friend through the last few months. She hasn't always agreed with my choices or things I've done...but she's been supportive of *me*. Despite how she may have felt at one point, she opened her heart and home to us. And I am truly grateful to have an option to take my mind off of things.

7. The insanely awesome weather we have had. I love crisp fall/winter weather, but I love the sun and warmer weather more. And when we have days on end of cold and blah....it can send me into a funk. So this warm, nice, sunny weather is appreciated.

8. My improved mental health. Being in love, having a huge amount of stress relieved from my life, feeling honest to goodness happiness *ROCKS*.

9. My *amazing* attorney. I just don't know what I would do with out her. I'd be fucked, and NOT in a good way.

10. That my divorce proceedings are moving along so that I see the light at the end of the tunnel.

11. Coffee. Coffee Mate holiday creamers. Starbucks. C-A-F-F-E-I-N-E (come on, you had to have known at some point I had to be a little less 'deep', *snort!*)

12. My animals....the ones remaining. I had to put to sleep my old dog that had been one of my babies for the past thirteen years. It was time, but very difficult and sad. My three remaining dogs, my kitty (aka, the worlds BEST CAT EVER), my horses, goats, chickens, ducks......light up my life.

13. Life. It takes it's twists and turns, perhaps things happen for a reason. I've had some bad events take place over the past few months. I've made some choices I'm not necessarily proud of or happy about. But I've also made some others that I AM. And really, isn't that what life is about? What makes it go round?

Happy Thanksgiving!
