Thankful Thursdays

Because I feel that I've been rather negative lately I've decided to institute a new weekly blogging habit. It will henceforth be called "Thankful Thursdays." I don't want to give the impression that I am a negative individual or that I enjoy wallowing in pity for myself. On the contrary, I consider myself a very happy person. I do, however, wear my heart on my sleeve and I don't conceal my emotion very well. Oh, and I'm one of those competitive types. But come on women aren't we all?

So, without any further ado here is my first effort to reveal my thankful side:

This Thursday I am thankful for how easy it is to put River to bed whether it be at night or for a nap. I can put him in his crib even while he is still awake and he will just relax there until he falls asleep. I'm under no delusion that this will continue. Especially when we turn in the crib for a toddler bed soon. For now, though, I am thankful that I do have this time because not all parents are as lucky. So I will savor every afternoon and evening that I sing my son to sleep and then take advantage of the time alone to run, hang out with Cory, accomplish the many chores to be completed around the house, sleep or just flat out veg.
