It's been a long, hard week, so I'm going to look on the positive side and do a thankful list. I'd actually like to complain about it, but I've done enough of that. Maybe I'll be able to fit the pessimism in somehow...
1. I'm thankful for my hardwood floors. Yes, they are old, warped, and scratched, but you really can't tell at first glance. They make the constant clean-up after Lindsay so, so much easier.
2. I'm thankful that we have two cars. Even together they're not worth much, have hail scars, and match, they do an awesome job of getting us where we need to go. I can go places during the day when Peter is at school, and I know that's a great luxury.
3. I'm thankful for a pretty normal family. Yeah, we're all a little warped and scratched, too, but I grew up knowing I was loved and wanted.
4. I'm thankful that Lindsay is a good kid. When she was sick last week she behaved very badly. She was constantly on my nerves. It made me appreciate how good she really is.
5. I'm thankful Peter is finishing up law school! It's been a long road, but short at the same time. Now he'll get to start doing what he loves doing, and make money doing it! Er, I mean, after he takes the bar...
6. I'm thankful it's warm outside. Lindsay and I get to go out and play whenever we want to.
7. I'm thankful for encouragement I've received from friends and family. I'm such a troubleshooter against myself trying to fix my problems, and also relegating myself as unsuccessful. I really latch on to positive things that people say to me because it keeps my perspective a little balanced.
8. I'm thankful for the bag of marshmallows sitting next to me. I really needed you tonight, Bag of Marshmallows. Also, you've just helped me be able to spell 'marshmallow', when I thought it should be 'marshmellow'.
9. I'm thankful for the public library. Especially the one here where I can put holds on books online, and they will magically be delivered to my branch that's really close to my home.
10. I'm thankful Lindsay is asleep right now so I could write this blog post uninterrupted and undisturbed. And you should be thankful for that, too!

I am thankful for my bag of chocolate chips!
Seriously, hardwood floors are miraculous. I think we would not have dogs anymore without them.
Aha! inspiration for blogging.
Thankful for a great family. I hope you know we love you as well.
I am thankful for Fridays!
We are most thankful for a library system that sounds just as lovely and convenient as yours! Isn't it great?! I'm personally thankful to my little boy who survived 4 hours in a line at a store closing with me yesterday...no fussing!
I personally would have loved to hear a good rant from ya! Sounds like you deserve one! But this post was really cool too. (It's always a little shot in the arm for me, when people praise their public library. :) Congratulations on surviving a hard week. I'm glad you rewarded yourself with some marshmallow goodness.
