Not the big stuff (eg health,kids,waking up every day and so on) just the more frivolous stuff.

I am doing something with a group of pre-teens tomorrow for Thanksgiving and all contributions wouldhelp greatly.

Something small?

My DH has bought me flowers twice this week, so the house looks nice and cheery - that kind of stuff?

I was going to say that I was thankful that DD2 was sick in the toilet this morning and not in her bed AGAIN as I am running out of bedding after two days of hell but after reading your second sentence I guess that isn?t really what you want to hear!!

I am thankful for chocolate right now as it is keeping me sane. Sorry. If I think of any good ones I will return

I had a huge giggling fit with dds last night. I had the hiccups really badly and that started them off giggling at me. In the end we were all in tears with sides aching. It was lovely. I was just really pleased that I have two beautiful girls and am their Mum.

Funny ones are good too LT!
One of my friends said 'My Dyson' when I asked her this question,then told me bizarre funny story about acquiring it at same time as her engagement ring.Future dh had bought one that was too small and she had to leave it at home when they went on holiday.
She said she was more worried about her Dyson being knicked than the ring!

As corny as it sounds - for rainbows!

The other day I was returning from the mornign school run and was soaked to the skin, as was DD2 - very miserable and cold. Just as we got round the final corner to our house DD2 beams and points out a rainbow. Cheered us up no end

This is the mood I hope to impart tomorrow-joy in small things (although being a nurse is of course,not a small thing.)

Been out to look round DD's school (Open Day) and then for lunch with DH, DD, my parents and my sister. Was lovely. Everyone chatted, had fun. DD was well behaved and happy. Was really nice.

erm this may not be small. But ds1 imitated "bah" yesterday and "ss". First time I've heard him use "ss" since he was about 15 months.

PS- how do you get the difference between say ""bah" "wah" and "pah" across?- ii got him to say "bah" by really emphasising it and making it very loud and noisy, but now if I try and do Pah or Wah he saysd bah? Sorry to hijack!
