Thankful Thursday

It's Thursday already?? The days just all seem to blend together when you aren't sleeping at night.

Here's my Thankful list for the week

1) Fitting into pre/early pregnancy pants:
For the first time in MONTHS, I was able to wear pants that did not have a full elastic waist band.  I slipped into a pair of jeans that I was able to wear pre-pregnancy and up through my third month.  Now, granted these jeans are size 14 and not exactly a size I'm eager to be at.  But, still it's a small victory to actually get to zip up a pair of pants.

2) Dissertation submitted:
The beast has been slain!  I officially submitted my dissertation online tonight.  Tomorrow I just have to go sign some papers at the grad school and then this part of my life will officially be over.  I am so thankful for all the support I received in finishing this.  But, I'm even more thankful for the free time I will have now that it's over.

3)  My son:
O. makes me laugh and smile every day.  Today he woke up from a nap in tears and we ended up cuddling and going back to sleep together.  It's things like that that make me so grateful to be a mom.

4) Opportunities:
I have been on the job market for a while and have been turned down for one job and had to withdraw from another job.  I'm just grateful that I have many opportunities that keep popping up and I feel like I'm in a good place to make the right decision.

In other news...
I had said that I would weigh in today, but that didn't happen.  Still a little scared to hop on that scale.  So many excuses, but it's really just fear.
