7) The Library. Since wandering into Borders and wandering out with $100 worth of books and magazines is no longer in the budget.

I read that people who keep lists of things they are grateful for are generally happier than those that do not. Since I tend to have trouble remembering all that I have to be thankful for amid the daily chaos and moments of Mommy rage, I thought I would give this a try for the new year. Here is my list:

1) My husband, who is my friend, lover and biggest supporter

2) Our two healthy, beautiful girls

3) Grandma, Grandpa, Oma, Opa and Nana

4) Friends that I do not have to clean or change out of my pajamas for

5) Coffee
