Thankful

In the spirit of Thanksgiving I have decided to list the things I'm thankful for. :)


This man. A wonderful husband, a spectacular father, and my best friend.

I'm also thankful for the poor little (well, big) deer that sacrificed himself so that my husband would leave me alone about wanting to kill a deer. Now if he would just leave me alone about that fact that he actually killed a deer, we'd be doing good.

Note to self: you are still supposed to feign interest even after hearing the "kill story" for the 15th time in one day...even if you could tell the story yourself.


I am so thankful for this precious little boy. He brightens my day no matter how shoddy it is. I can't imagine what life would be without him and his crooked little smile.

I'm thankful that I have too many places I need to go for Thanksgiving. Some people don't have anyone to spend the holiday with. If my biggest gripe is that I have too many places to go, and too many people who want me to come eat with them, well I don' t have much to gripe about.

I'm thankful for the internet. If I had to go out and shop on Black Friday, I might kill or at least maim someone. I have my personal space that should not be invaded. I also have a low tolerance for rude/inconsiderate people. So the internet allows me to shop (and have free shipping in most cases) without having to deal with too eager (read: crazy) people who are bargain crazy. Don't get me wrong, I am bargain crazy. I am a tightwad. But, I value my freedom from a life sentence in Huntsville more than $15 blue jeans. I'm jus' sayin'. So I can sit at home and shop bargains on the internet. Genius. Pure genius.

I am thankful that I have a job and my husband has a job. I really hate dropping Cole off at daycare every day, but if I didn't have a job, our lives would be a lot different.

I thank the Lord every day for all of my many blessings. I don't think we should have to have a holiday to remind us to be thankful for what we have. But, since we do, I will say an extra prayer thanking Him again for all He has given me. And, since there's a holiday and all, I will enjoy a ginormous calorie fest as well.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
