Thankful for:
*Ethan planted his plants (beans), 24 cups to be exact, to start day 1 of his Science Project, I said "You didn't know you were going to be doing this much work did you?" His reply, "No. But this is FUN!"  Yeah for SCIENCE!!!
*having a sister that is good with computers! Thank you Amanda! and thank you for email and the mind boggling fast service that the internet provides when you need for info or in my case a chart, and in seconds it was on my computer screen then printing out of the printer! Thank you again for your help!
*Paula Deen's Chicken Cacciatore recipe for the crock pot, I prepared it the night before, put in in crock pot for 7 hours on low before I went to work, and yummy smells greeted me at the door when I got off work, and again NO BUTTER in the recipe

*meal planning, love the fact that I have already decided what to cook, the ingredients are waiting for me, that used to be the worst part of the day: Deciding what to cook for dinner!
*hump day!
*getting MIL birthday present together
*making MIL birthday cake
*the fact that my little boy is getting so independent, he loves to make some of his own decisions, but man it can be frustrating for both of us at times!
