Trying to be Thankful Thursday

I know I really need to do a Thankful Thursday post, but in my heart I need to vent.  So I will try to do both.

1. I am so thankful that I am not raising _____.  Come on, fill in the blank with the worst kid you know.  I am thankful that my kid isn't them.  It has been a hard week for parenting, but I guess it could be worse!!  ( I know some of you probably put my kid's name in that blank, but it is ok if it helps you appreciate your child more.)
2. I am thankful that I am not seriously ill and hospitalized.  I am just in a lot of pain, some went away today and hopefully more will go away tomorrow.  Let's just say that I had every side effect the antibiotic can give me!  Woo hoo!!  Lucky Me!!  ARGH!!
3. I am thankful that Premier Designs Jewelry gives such great hostess benefits.   Even if only one comes to your party and you barely make a party with orders, you can get  a lot of free stuff.  
4. I am thankful my pantry and freezer have food, cause I have no money to go to the store or out to eat.
5. I am thankful that my electric has stayed on during this bad weather.  $500 worth of it stayed on!!
6. I am thankful that my depression only comes around during the winter.  Unfortunately, this is one of the worst winters we have had in years.  I don't want to see anymore snow or ice or rain!!!  Did you hear me, maybe I should say that again.  I DON'T WANT TO SEE ANYMORE SNOW OR RAIN OR ICE!!!  Got it now???
7. I am thankful that I can see postive things in my child - cause evidently no one else can.
8. At the moment I really am thankful for every painfree breath that I take.  I seem to take that forgranted when I am not reminded of it!!
9. I am thankful for my friend who wraps me up in her love, supports me unwaveringly, and loves me unconditionally.  You know who you are.  
10. I am thankful for computers, facebook, email, blogs, cell phones, home phones...  It allows people who say they love and care for me to reach out and touch me.  It allows me to do the same to them.  If I haven't reached out and touched you lately, it is just because I was in too much pain to raise my arm.
