Reminding Yourself to Be thankful...humorous

I am soooo thankful that I finally have family. I never had family before I had my own, this is something a LOT of people take for granted.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

I am thankful that happened to YOU and not me this morning.

I bet your little guy will be extra hungry today after that cleansing.

Kids are still asleep at a quarter to nine in the morning. went to peek in my sons room and found he wasn't in there...so I looked in sis' room and they are cuddled up sleeping on her bed. She is such a good big sister, and it makes me proud and thankful that they get along so well.

Nothing big, nothing "stinky" happened just a pure sweetness about them.

Until the wake up...

That I had a plastic shopping bag at the park yesterday when my 4.5 year old had to poop suddenly. We were too far from home, with no park bathroom, and he's got that big-eyed worried look on his face. So I have him come over to me, I get out the bag, he pulls down his pants, I basically cover his butt with the bag opening and have him squat - surprise, port-o-potty bag! YUCK, but it worked like a charm, no mess anywhere - whew!

Too funny! I felt like MacGuyver :)

As I sit here thinking of how to respond, I can hear the humming of my computer and my roommate in the shower...Just the water running(it would be freaking hilarious if I ever caught him singing:)).

I am thankful we still have a roof over our heads. And the ability to shower everyday, when I get too. I know alot of people right now, that have permanently given up a shower everyday to Occupy places....Where some do not even have a Port a Potty(OT does, actually have two...a boys and a girls...:))They do so, to make sure we have a future:)And for that they have my up most respect and admiration.

I am thankful for my three year old cuddled up next to me in the chair, right now. He has been driving me bonkers for a week and a half. Clinging to me every second of the day, LITERALLY. Yet even when I am going mad from it, I stop and pause...and I am happy he wants to be near me. It is something I should never take for granted. Because eventually he will not want to be my cuddle bug. It is kind of comforting right now, having him attached to my hip:)

I am thankful to have you ladies as well.

I am thankful for the forgiveness that ALOT of you have showed me over the past years. It is not easy sometimes.

Last but not least, I am THANKFUL AND EXCITED Black Friday is almost upon us! Not because I am shopping, but doing the exact opposite!!! I am thankful my husband under stand the nut in me and why I have to do this. Takes a loving man to tell his buddies,''Sorry, I can't play football with you guys in the morning, my WIFE is out Protesting shopping!'', only the best would do something like that for me:)

I have to go do some work now before kiddo's wake up fully:)

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

After spending the night puking and knowing that all of the delicious Thanksgiving yumminess as well as company (I'm quarantined in my parents' guest room right now) is officially out of reach, my consolation is that I didn't have to get up early and play with the raw turkey. But I have been truly thankful for a husband who, in spite of his tremendous dislike of all raw meat, tackled it on my behalf--he's also been excellent about keeping the 7 Up and pep talks coming. I'm also thankful for the rest of my family who have stepped in and watched the kiddos while I've recuperated from the fun, fun night.

Not ideal, but still lots to be grateful for. Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm thankful for my kid's health. My best friend's 4 year old was just diagnosed w a very rare, very aggressive brain tumor completely out of the blue. The next time I'm cleaning up someone else's vomit off myself in the middle of the night I will remember that if that's the worst that happens, I am unimaginably blessed.

That I don't have to change diapers today. Hahaa.
