I am thankful that I am felling better, again! We just can't seem to get healthy in this house. My youngest woke up today with a 102 temperature (hence the tardiness of Thankful Thursdays). So, that makes me thankful for insurance!

I am thankful that we have the new floors down in our dining room. They look great and my husband didn't have a screaming fit once while he was laying them!

I am thankful for all of my friends praying for my nephew Little Buddy. His official prognosis seems to be better than the original one, but please continue to keep him and my family in your prayers.

I am thankful that I get to kick off my Christmas Season with a party with my friends this weekend!

So, what are YOU thankful for?

I am thankful for blogging breaks! My brain feels so much better after my impromptu break. I couldn't blog last week because I had no internet in the Smokey Mountains and this week I just couldn't bring myself to even LOOK at a deal blog because I was just burned out. After almost 2 full weeks of not blogging and not deal hunting (I know, scary, right?) I'm now back and ready to go again! Aren't breaks nice?

I am thankful my boys are growing up. Even though I would love to keep them small forever, I am thankful that they are growing because that means they are healthy and normal. I am, however, just a little sad that we cut all of Jake's curls off last night in his very first haircut. He looks so much older and EXACTLY like his older brother now.

I am thankful my husband is such a hard worker. He decided that he was going to rip up the carpet and lay down our new floors this weekend (side note: say a prayer for his safety and our sanity!). After the new paint job and new floors I'm going to have a brand new house! It's very exciting!

Finally, I am thankful for pajamas. Aren't they comfy?

This week I am thankful for sleep. I'm getting less and less of it as this pregnancy progresses and I am VERY thankful for what I get!

I am thankful for my husband. Monday was our 7 year anniversary! 7 years and 2 and 1/2 boys later and I love him more now than I ever did. He is an amazing man. Even after a long day at work he isn't scared to help out around the house whether that means cleaning, doing the dishes (which he does everyday), folding laundry or taking care of the boys. He tends to draw the line at dirty diapers, but he will even do that too! He even sends me upstairs to our room for "Mommy Time" when he thinks I'm stressed out! He's awesome!

I am thankful for my son's preschool. He learns so much everyday that I would have NEVER thought to tell him about. Yesterday they got to tour a firetruck and a REAL (his word!) fireman read them a book, they had an eye test AND they learned about dinosaur fossils; all in 3 hours! His teachers are amazing!

I am thankful for disposable diapers. On a normal day my nearly 2 year old has 3 or 4 dirty diapers. I can't even imagine the work involved in using cloth diapers for that many dirties everyday! So, THANK YOU so very much to whoever invented them!

I am even thankful for all of the dirty laundry in my house. Even though it seems to add up overnight, it tells me that everyone in my house is healthy and active!

There probably will not be a Thankful Thursdays post next week as I will be out of town in the middle of the mountains with no internet service, so please be sure to participate this week!

So, what are YOU thankful for?

First, I am VERY thankful that it seems everyone in my house is on the mend! Drew's new meds seem to be taking care of the ear infection and Jake's nasty cough is finally quieting down. I'm also thankful that Rob, Drew and I didn't catch the flu from Jake!

I'm thankful that my new son appears to be doing well. He likes to put pressure on the nerves of my back, so I take that as a sign he's growing well!

I am thankful that I have friends that I can call on whenever I need help and they will come through for me in a pinch!

I'm thankful my Children's Choir Fall Performance went smoothly! They scared me in dress rehearsal by forgetting the words to almost every song, but they pulled it together for the performance just like they always do!

I am thankful that I can take a week off from blogging like I had to do this week and not receive hate mail from my readers! Thank you so much for understanding! I got several e-mails from people praying for a speedy recovery for the boys and I really appreciated them all!

I'm thankful that I'll finally be able to get back to blogging this week! I've already started CVS deals and it feels good to be back!

What are YOU thankful for?

I am very thankful this morning for my wonderful husband! I went to my ladies Bible Study last night with the house in disarray and came home to a sparkling clean home! I almost cried I was so happy! (Of course, that probably has something to do with the pregnancy hormones! I cry at cartoons anymore!)

I am thankful that my 4 year old is feeling better. He woke up from his nap on Sunday with a temperature of over 102 and he felt horrible. Apparently one of his tubes was clogged and he had an ear infection. Poor baby! He's all better now and getting into as much trouble as ever!

I am thankful for my crock pot. Dinner is already cooking and I don't have to worry about it all day! I think whoever invented the crock pot deserves an extra star in his or her crown!

I am thankful that I get to teach another coupon class tonight! I love helping people learn new ways to help stretch their dollar further! It's waaaaay too much fun to go to the store and buy $100 worth of stuff for less than $5! I just hope I can keep my energy level up all day long so I don't fall asleep at the class (that would be embarrassing!).

So, what are YOU thankful for?

I am thankful for my ever-amusing son. Today is his Halloween Party at school and he dressed up as Woody from Toy Story for the 2nd year in a row. As he was getting on the bus he turned to me and said "Mommy, don't bring Jake to the party, bring Buzz! Don't forget Mommy!" His subtle way of reminding me to dress his brother up! I'm pretty sure he thinks he's been in charge since the day he was born! He's so funny!

I'm thankful that my husband is enjoying his new job.

I'm thankful that my husband and I finally agreed on a name for the new baby! I thought this poor boy would be "Baby Boy" for the rest of his life! Okay, maybe we still have a while to pick out a name, but I like being able to call him something other than baby!

I'm thankful that my walls are finally painted! It's been a year in plans (well, mostly in procrastinating!) and now they are finished and look beautiful!

I am thankful for poopy diapers. Even though I don't like to change them, they mean that my son is healthy and growing!

I am thankful for each and every person who reads this! Thanks for visiting Saving Sherry! You are the ones who make it all worth it!

I am thankful that my house is finally getting painted! As I am typing this my dutiful husband is in the dining room painting! I'm so excited to see how it turns out! We are painting the entire downstairs then we are going to rip up the carpet (it's gross) and put down laminate wood flooring. I don't think I'll even recognize my own house!

I'm thankful for my Bible Study Group. We meet every other Wednesday and last night was the night for my house. I always feel like a burden has been lifted and being a wife and mom is so much easier after meeting with these women who are having some of the same experiences I am. Thanks girls!

I am thankful for my boys. Even though I'm slightly terrified about the reality of raising 3 boys, only 4 years apart, my boys make my life a joy. They make me laugh every single day. And I would definitely not have any amusing stories to tell if it weren't for them (see ANY of my Not Me! Mondays for proof!)

And finally, I am abundantly thankful for my husband. I could not have requested a better mate if I had filled out an order form! (Okay, I would NOT have checked the "die-hard football fan" box, but that's it!) I love you baby, thank you for all you do for me!

How about you? What are you thankful for?

Thankful Thursdays



Welcome to Thankful Thursdays where you can let the whole world know what YOU are thankful for!

I am thankful that the little boy in my tummy is growing normally and is as active as can be! He likes to poke and prod on mommy and he's small enough it just makes me smile. Soon I will be the proud mommy of "My 3 Sons!"

I am thankful that my husband starts his new job on the 26th. Unless you are an "in-person" friend instead of an "on-line" friend you don't know that last November my husband lost his job. After a series of temporary and part time jobs, he will start his new job soon! He's so excited because it's the exact type of job he's wanted since he started studying chemistry in college. I would explain to you what he will be doing, but 1. I'm a musician, so his job makes my eyes glaze over because I'm so lost when he talks and 2. It would make most of your eyes glaze over too! I'm so proud of him and I am thankful to God for taking care of us these last 11 months!

I am thankful that we FINALLY picked out a paint color and Rob will be painting the downstairs next week. This has been almost a year long project; between talking about it and putting different colors on the walls we are pretty sure we will be happy with the color we picked out! Next comes my new flooring!

I am thankful for all of you, my readers. I love when I get e-mails from you or when you leave comments on posts. It makes me feel like I'm actually helping people and that is the whole reason I started this blog!

I'm thankful that the weather is turning cold! I know! Don't linch me yet, let me explain. I, along with my sons, have allergies and the colder it gets the more likelihood of frost and when we have a few good frosts, like magic, our noses stop running and we feel better! So, I love cold weather!

So, what are YOU thankful for? Please grab my Thankful Thursdays icon and leave a post with a link back to this one on your blog to let everyone know what you are thankful for! Leave a link on the Mr. Linky so we can all see it too! Don't have a blog? That's okay too! Just leave a comment! Let's show everyone how thankful we are!
