jonah: what the hell?

mommy: ( turn to hubs with a surprised look on face wondering if he just heard the same thing )

daddy: jonah, what did you say? ( not sure if he heard right )

jonah: i say "what the hell?" ( in a very calm nonchalant voice )

daddy: jonah, that's not very nice to say! we don't say that word!

jonah: ( turns to mommy ) mommy, no say "what the hell?", that not nice!

mommy: ( hiding my laugh because i was just BUSTED by my 2yr old ) you are right jonah, that's not nice and mommy should not have said that!

thankful thoughts

often times i find myself just flying through my days taking things for granted. life is a great gift and it is important for me to stop and "smell the roses" once in a while. i want to be thankful for what i have because there are many people less fortunate.

~ i am thankful for my loving, supportive husband, we are a great team
~ i am thankful for my three beautiful children, they complete me
~ i am thankful for my faith, without God nothing is possible
~ i am thankful for my parents, they mean everything to me and the love they have for their grandchildren is incredible
~ i am thankful for my sisters, i couldn't imagine my life without them
~ i am thankful i am able to stay at home with my children, i don't miss a thing
~ i am thankful i have a warm & cozy house, there are many people freezing this winter
~ i am thankful i have such a close extended family, they mean the world to me
~ i am thankful for my friends, they brighten my day
~ i am thankful i was raised with great morals, values and respect for all people, there are many people that lack this and it is truly sad
~ i am thankful for girls night out once a month, oh boy do us girls need them ;)

Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough.
