Thankful Thursday 2012: Week 2

Divas, divas, divas!!! It's been one of those weeks! I'm back at work part-time this week and the mornings are proving to be disastrous for me! I literally sat in my car Tuesday morning in the parking lot and bawled my eyes out. This is definitely an adjustment after being home for 3 months - hats off to mommies who are able to stay home for years with their little ones...I can only imagine how they feel on the first day of school!!!

I truly enjoy being a working mommy and know that it will take a few weeks (months, perhaps?) to completely adjust...in the mean time, if anyone has any legit work-at-home ideas send them my way...LOL

This year, I'm continuing my focus on gratitude and each Thursday is Thankful Thursday on DWP.  So here's my list for this week:

~My job's phase-back program from maternity leave.  Love, love, love this!!! It takes me 5 weeks to get back to working 40 hours a week, but I'm paid my full salary! This way I can ease myself back into work and wean myself off my afternoon naps :)

~My oldest son. He is such a big helper to me these days.  From playing with his little brother to feeding his sister while I get dinner ready.  It amazes me that my baby has grown and matured so much over the years.  (Mommy's still not ready for middle school next year, though!)

~My younger sister.  She stayed with me for almost a month to help out with the kids and watched my youngest two my first week back at work in the mornings so I wouldn't have to pay daycare for 4 hours a day.  And she was a cleaning fiend!!!

~The snooze button.  Whoever invented this little button is my hero.  I know I shouldn't use it as much as I do, but those extra 5 or 10 (okay 15!!!) minutes in the morning feel soooo good!

What about you, Divas? What's on your list for the week? Just writing this list helped to de-stress me some!  Have a wonderful day, be blessed and remember to be a blessing to others!!!
