After reading all these posts that we're doing fine financially and haven't had to change too much regarding spending habits with the exception that we cut down our going out to eat. Our bills all get paid (mortgage which will actually be paid off in about nine years, car, thankfully one is paid for, credit cards finally getting down, etc). I'm lucky that I don't have to pay for insurance as my husband has it through work. We don't have a savings account, but have our money in IRA's, mutual funds, and a 401K plan. Hopefully things won't change too much. We keep telling our daughters, especially our oldest one that things can change at anytime with the job situation so we are prepared if that should happen.

Very thankful for..
the fact that I heard from my oldest son, after a long time of searching for him (long story), but oh so grateful he is okay. Also, became a grandmother again for the fifth time with a new grandson born a month ago to my youngest son, this makes his second son. I am over the moon whenever this happens. Love to all. Also, I love reading all of the wonderful things happening in each of your lives.
I am thankful for HIS love

You should be thankful that he wants to stay home--sm
SOMEtimes, having outside activities leads to OTHER recreational activities that are not conducive to a happy marriage. I would be very happy to have a stay-at-home husband. JMO. :^)
No matter how annoying they are..be thankful you have one--sm
some of us do not and it is very difficult to provide for ourselves in this day and age. Think about it...truly...what would you do without them?
I (humbly) have plenty to be thankful for!!
dehiscence.... is that right? thankful for spellcheck

be thankful to have him around at Christmas time...
and try to overlook some of these things that bother you. My husband is in Iraq and I would give just about anything to have all of his annoying habits around for Christmas. Just a different perspective, but sometimes these things aren't as bad as we think. It is a little endearing that he is so excited at Christmas. Like a kid almost. :)
Be thankful you have your wonderful mom to write that letter to..sm
It has been a little over a year since my mom passed away. I miss her so much. I would love to be able to write my mom or call her. I was fortuante enough to have spent many, many holidays in the kitchen helping my mom. I sure do miss it now. Give thanks that you have your mom in your life. I am also a married mother of 3 and am 36 y/o with no mom for the holidays. God Bless you, your family, and most of all your mom. I am so sad every day without mine.
Contact him and be thankful you found him alive and hopefully healthy. sm
If you pass this opportunity up, you may never get another chance. I think i would call him, but you also have to think about someone else answering the phone and be prepared just in case. i believe everyone deserves a second chance and a chance for explanations. my eldest brother recently had his 23yo son contact him. lots of issues and reasons, but at least his son got to meet his father. now i am trying to get the family together as i am trying to get to know my nephew via myspace. both were sitting around waiting on the other to make a move after their initial meeting and neither were doing it. just FYI though, my brother's wife also had a major problem with my brother meeting his long lost son as well. what's up with that??? i can't comprehend that. as adults, it isn't like they are only after money you know. just want to know their family is all. contact him before you regret it!
HA!! Just be thankful it wasn't leftover lobster tail...like that would happen LOL
