thankful challenge, day 6...

today i am thankful...

1.  that my husband has a job that enables me to stay home with my baby (soon to be plural).  while growing up i took for granted that my mom was home, taking care of us instead of at work, taking care of other people.  she was always able to help out with whatever project we were working on, she went on all our field trips, if we were sick and had to stay home it didn't throw the world into chaos...  i now get to be the person that gets to be at home, constantly teaching remi and my future children, all day, every day.  i would not be able to do this without the support from shawn.  i'm grateful that he has a steady job, that we are debt free (except for the house), and that he earns enough that we can manage on a single income at this time in our lives.  thank you, shawn, for being supportive of me being at home and for realizing that it's not always a picnic.  sometimes having a job would be easier and i'd get a lot more adult time and mental stimulation, but for now, i feel that this is more important and i'm glad that our circumstances have allowed it to happen.

2.  for my toothbrush.  as i sit here this morning, typing away, it's taking all my self control to not run to the bathroom and start brushing away.  i haven't yet brushed my teeth this morning and the nasty taste in my mouth is killing me!  i love that clean, plaque-free feeling that comes from brushing my teeth.  speaking of which, i'm going to cut this short and go brush away.  oh, thank you, toothbrush!
