what am i thankful for?

Thanksgiving. On this day every year, we are supposed to take a look at what we are thankful for. Count our blessings. Spend time with family and friends. Blah Blah Blah. What about all the things we AREN'T thankful for? After a day filled with "I'm thankful for my family" and "I'm thankful for my kids".... I'd like to share my list of what I'm NOT thankful for.
i am NOT thankful for:
  • the fourth poopy diaper in a row.
  • the Tupperware blanketing my kitchen floor.
  • non-washable makers.
  • no room for my shows on the DVR.
  • little hands pulling my pajama pants down while i'm cooking breakfast.
  • singing "baby bumble bee" again.
  • the fifth poopy diaper in a row.
  • tripping over shoes in the entryway.
  • single dirty sock under the couch.
  • finding that rotten baby bottle that was tossed behind the crib.
  • stinky bathroom drains.
  • cleaning the microwave.
  • 6 baskets of laundry to fold.
  • scary movies.
  • snot.
  • the sixth poopy diaper in a row. (what have you been eating?!?!)
  • crumbs. everywhere.
  • stepping on a matchbox car in the middle of the night.
  • drool between my toes.
  • suckers stuck to the carpet in my car.
  • hearing "MOM!" the last time before bed.
  • crooked lamps.
  • silence (when the kids are NOT sleeping).
Overall, I give thanks for my many blessings in life. But honoring those things that make my blood boil gives me a reason to finish that bottle of wine I have sitting on the counter.
