Ahh, what am I thankful for? Let’s see…

I’m thankful for Murphy’s Law because life would be a lot less interesting without it. Take, for instance, my post last night where I praised my son’s stellar behavior as of late; you guessed it – he woke up at about 4:30 this morning and has been a screaming mess. I’ll be really thankful if he takes a morning nap, and even more thankful if he takes one this afternoon too. I told you that I’d jinxed it…

I’m thankful for coffee. It is my drug of choice. The fresh brewed fix is just enough to make a 4:30 wake-up call bearable.

I’m thankful that Liv sleeps like a lumberjack in the morning. I don’t know what happens after her 3:00 feeding, but the girl could have a band go through her room and not stir. It comes in handy when your other child is screaming like a banshee.

I’m thankful for those moments that make it all worthwhile – the Kade-initiated kisses, the hours spent reading with both of my babies snuggled on my lap, the rush of accomplishment when both of my children are in bed and asleep at the same time, hearing a little voice yell “Mama” simply because he needs a hug – yep, I’ll wake up every morning at 4:30 if it means I have this to look forward to during the day.
