1. Realized I can do it on my own! It's been just me and baby for 5 days. The house is neat! It's funny how itll stay that way when you don't have a grown man to pick up after. No energy wasted rolling my eyes and clothes thrown on the floor. And I'm happy here alone! Not even scared of the lonely dark. Just had to take the trash to the curb myself ... Not too bad.

2. My baby will always make this list. I love his love. He makes me so happy to be a mom.

3. Filed my nails so perfectly! Shaved my legs and my skin is so soft! Trying my best to look cute and put together though no one will notice one bit.

Loving this new single mom life!

I know reality will hit me hard pretty soon. Until then hooray!

1. Had some outdoor time. Breathed some fresh air. Waved at passing cars. Felt 'alive'.

2. Taught my two year old some new words. He's learning well.

3. Realized ill be better off than WS mentally, emotionally, etc when I D him. That makes me happy.

Love this thread!

1.Unexpectedly had a little cash to buy a few groceries.

2.Had a wonderful day homeschooling my amazing kids.

3.Today was a beautiful and warm fall day.

1) Feeling rested and hopeful this morning.

2) Put twinkle lights on autumn branches in a lovely vase on front porch! Just re-painted my rocking chairs and table so my porch looks ADORABLE.

3) DS 16 came home from visitation with WH early yesterday afternoon (I had thought he would be gone thru today) so I get a day full of Dr Who with my son. Happy, happy, happy!!!

1. My oldest daughter, IrishLass1 and her boyfriend and my granddaughter have started coming down on Friday nights and staying the night with us Love me some grandma time.

2. I got to make dinner and watch a movie with my sister last night. Love a quiet night of relax at home.

3. IrishLad has adjusted pretty well to the D now and has not missed a single day of school so far this year.

And a 4 for me

4. Someone who knew myself and xWH stopped into my work on Friday. He asked if I had met the woman xWH was with now. I said yes and he said "She is a psycho and I think he knows it". I laughed and said "I am not sure he does"

1. Spent last night playing Scrabble with my parents. We had such a good time!

2. Ran with a good friend this morning -- our friendship has strengthened so much since I've become single.

3. Going to a film festival movie with another friend this afternoon. I can't wait!

1. I don't know what's gotten into me, but since hearing about XH's engagement, I feel different - better. It feels great!

2. Am still getting my house in order and have done so many nice things to it, such as rearranging and re-doing my room.

3. It's Sunday afternoon and I've had the weekend to myself to do whatever...I chose to get stuff done I meant to for the longest time, plus rested and just feel so 'accomplished'!

We've got one of these threads going on in NB, too, but I think it may be even more important in D/S to remember all of the good things in life!

1. Made (and ate) dinner, and it involved goat cheese. YUM!

2. I biked to work today even though it was cold and windy and I just wanted to stay in bed. I do need to figure out an ear warming solution that works with my helmet, though...

I save $2.50 in parking fees each day I bike in, so I have to figure out what I should get with this found money!

3. I recently qualified for the Boston Marathon, and my friends and I are planning a group trip for April 2014 to run it. I think planning the trip may just be half of the fun!

ok, i need to do this and get my mind moving in a more positive direction...

1. my teslet called me a 'silly goose' last night. it was his tone that made it so funny.

2. having a friend over tonight to watch the cardinals kick the giants' asses.

3. it's friday.

kind of in a dip so having to dig deep for three good things

1) the autumn colors are glorious

2) its pay day - thank God thank God thank God

3)phmh qualified for the Boston Marathon - she's my hero!

I have been updating more on the NB three things thread, but somehow I think it may be more important to have it updated more regularly here. I will try to keep on it.

With it being Thanksgiving Eve, what more perfect time could there be to list three good things that happened/three things you're thankful for (or more, but at least three!)

1. My expense reimbursement at work finally got approved! I had to keep resubmitting receipts, but finally it is settled!

2. It was so beautiful out tonight that I ran a few miles longer than planned, helping me to reach my mileage goal for the year.

3. Although I already have more yarn than I know what to do with, I bought some beautiful yarn and I keep thinking of the scarves I will make. (I am not a talented knitter, but I have scarves in almost every color )

1. It's blustery and rainy AND I get to park my car in the garage! Wow, parking my car in the garage never gets old.

2. My job is awesome. Great people, interesting work, no drama, beautiful office.

3. My kids rock. Teachers love them too. Super smart and fun, and know how to behave. Of course they fight with each other and make me crazy, but they really are amazing.

1) my parents are visiting!!!!

2) my son is home from college!!!!

3) food tomorrow!!!!!

1. Heading out for a Turkey Trot...after a month off from running.

2. Running Turkey Trot with my dog

3. Making a small thanksgiving dinner with bro (he's making 1/2 the dishes) and Teslet (he'll be head taste tester!)

Love this thread!

1) My three, wonderful, energetic little boys! My total reason for being.

2) My friends. Without them, I would never have found the real me again.

3) The turbulent times that I have been through. They have taught me so much about life, and they have showed me how strong I really am...I had forgotten.

1) I am thankful that Thanksgiving is over. Whew - rough day.

2) I am thankful that the gym is open so I can go clear my head and start again

3) I am thankful for SI - I was on this site at least a dozen times yesterday and y'all got me through another day

* I have my girls this weekend. They must be sick of the cuddles and smooches but I will never be. My hair must also look nice today - nodding and patting both sides of my head DD2 pronounces "I like you head mummy!" .

* we planted strawberries, sunflowers, some kind of pink/purple australian native that flowers all year (woowhoo). Best.time.ever. Dirt everywhere, smooshing mud between our fingers.

* I murdered lamb chops a little less than last time tonight. Learning to cook is coming along well!
