I'm not a Mom on tv, but I play one in Real Life.

My BFF Elizabeth tagged me in her blog with this award thingy:

The Kreativ Blogger Award tells me to list 6 things I am grateful for and pass it on to 6 other bloggers.

So, here are my 6 things I am grateful for:

1. I’m going to be uber-cliche here and say first and foremost, my children. My beautiful, healthy (relatively speaking), smart, funny, sensitive, witty, wonderful children. I don’t know where I’d be without them (probably someplace tropical, a beach perhaps, with a margarita in hand, being waited on by tall, dark, handsome, loinclothed… wha? oh wait, where was I…)

2. My job. There are days when I hate my job. But when all is said and done, I am so grateful to be employed. To be able to work, to support myself and my kids. There are so many out there right now who would give just about anything to have the job I do. I need to remember that when I’m banging my head on my desk in frustration. Others would kill to be able to bang their head on my desk in frustration.

3. My health and more specifically my insanely resilient body. I have put it through quite a bit over the last 38 years and yet, here it is in one piece still. All original equipment in check and functioning. That, my friends, is a freakin’ miracle! I should at least be missing an arm or earlobe or something.

4. The internet. Yep, I love it. It was my lifeline when my world was falling apart 3 years ago. My on-line friends literally saved my life. Most don’t know how suicidal I was. And terrified of my ex and what was happening in my life at that point. I didn’t leave my house and wouldn’t let my children leave either. My only communication with the outside world for several months was strictly through email. If not for the internet and being able to connect with people through it, I know that I would not have chosen to keep getting up every day. Thank you, friends and internet. I wouldn’t be here without you!!

5. My BFF, the aforemention Elizabeth. Despite tagging me in things like this (wink wink) I just absolutely adore her. She is the only person I have ever shared all of me with. She knows more about me than either of my ex-husbands or any of my other friends, past and present. Even though she’s nearly half my age, she is definitely a kindred spirit. I know that I can tell her anything and she will understand. She’s my bestie and I love her to death!!

6. Brendan Fraser. ‘Cause he’s an awesome actor, great guy, and just so pretty to look at!

As for passing it on to 6 other bloggers, alas, I am fairly new to the whole blogosphere world and just don’t know that many people. So, tell ya what, leave me a comment with a link to your blog and TAG, you’re it!!
