Okay, I'm getting over a horrible bout with a stomach bug, so please bear with me.

Day 3. I am thankful for my job. Just like any job out there, I do get stressed out from time to time. However, when it comes down to it, I truly love my job. I am in charge of eight babies and the fact that their parents trust their baby to be with me eight hours a day is truly an honor. When I see a baby take his/her first steps, I take pride in the fact that I helped him/her get there. When a baby smiles and giggles, or dances, it makes my heart smile! Having worked in every room at some point in time, I have grown to love each different age group. I have learned so much about children, I may just be a tiny bit closer to being prepared for when we have our own! Haha! I just really love my job!

Day 4. I am thankful for my husband. Mark and I have been together for nearly eight years now and while we have surely had our share of ups and downs, today we are closer than ever on so many different levels. He 'gets' me and my craziness, and he can deal with my craziness! :) I'm happy to say that I can't see myself spending the rest of my life with anyone but him.

Day 5. I am thankful for my couch. As silly as that sounds, Mark and I spend a lot of time here - entertaining friends, playing games, watching movies, snuggling. However, while Mark was at work yesterday, our couch served as my only comfort. Even at this exact moment, our couch is my number one aid in feeling better! Well, next to my snuggle bug Asia, of course! :)
