my 30 things

I got this from Theresa's blog, and I thought it was a really neat idea.  It is 30 things I am thankful for.

  1. God.  I know everyone always says that, but I am really thankful for God's love.
  2. Dave.  Dave is always there for me, no matter what, and I know he loves me.
  3. Cameron.  Cameron is so sweet, and I love to cuddle in bed with him.  He has a sweet smile, and I love the smell of his hair.  One hug from him can brighten my day.
  4. Emily.  Emily is my silly girl, and she always makes me laugh.  I love to kiss her cheeks and feel her soft skin.  She can make me smile no matter how I feel.
  5. My mom.  My mom is always there for me, helping me out when I need it.  Sometimes I come home from work exhausted, and find that my dishes or some of my laundry is done.  She watches my kids 3 days a week, and she is a good grandma.
  6. My dad.  My dad is a good pap, and he loves to spend time with my kids.  He can also fix anything.
  7. My mother-in-law.  She is always willing to help out if I need her, and she always shares things with me.
  8. My brother.  He always has good advice when I need it, and he always talks sense into me.
  9. My sister-in-law.  She is always there for me.  She also likes shopping in my stockpile!  LOL
  10. My friends.  I have very, very few friends, and a hard time trusting people.  So if you are reading this and you are my true friend, I thank you.
  11. The internet.  I have learned so much on the internet, especially about saving money.  I also get a lot of good recipes online, and a lot of freebies and instant wins.
  12. My job.  As much as I don't like my job, it does help pay the bills.
  13. The USA.  I may not like living in Pennsylvania, but I still live in the USA, and I have a lot of freedoms that people in other countries don't.
  14. Coupons.  Sounds like a weird thing to be thankful for, I know.  But they have helped save my family so much money.
  15. My blog.  I have met a lot of new people and learned a lot of new things through blogging.  It is also a good outlet if I need to vent.
  16. Food.  I always have plenty to eat, and I am learning how to garden and can.
  17. Shelter.  Even though I am not too fond of where I live, I have a roof over my head and a family to come home to.
  18. My car.  I am scared of driving, but I have a car to take me where I want to go.  I don't have to walk or hitchhike or wait for someone to take me.
  19. Clothes.  I have warm clothes and I have the freedom to wear what I want.
  20. Sunny days.  Sunny days make me want to smile.
  21. Hot showers.  Hot showers always help me relax after a hard day at work.
  22. Reading material.  I have plenty of books and magazines, so I will never get bored!!
  23. My messy house.  I do try to keep it clean, but it always seems to un-clean itself.  That is fine with me, because it means that my kids are healthy and able to play with their toys.
  24. Memories.  I have a lot of good childhood memories, and a lot of the people in them are no longer here with me.  But my memories will keep them alive forever.
  25. Max.  Believe it or not, chinchillas are very good listeners.
  26. My dreams.  My biggest dream is to stay home with my kids, and that dream makes me work harder to save money so it will happen.
  27. Chocolate.  I think that one is pretty self-explanatory.
  28. Holidays.  I get a day off work AND I get to spend time with my family. 
  29. Neighbors.  I don't get to talk to my neighbors very often, but all of them are very nice.  We have the only small kids on our street, and the neighbors just love them.
  30. NICE customers.  I get my share of rude customers, but there are some very nice ones that make my day.
