Since it is Thanksgiving, I thought I would post a few things I am thankful for:

1. I am thankful for my family. As dysfunctional as it may be over the years, I am thankful to have a mom & aunt who are loving & down to earth.
2. I am thankful for my husband. He puts up with me being hormonal & irrational more days than I care to admit.
3. I am thankful for my 2 little girls. I was looking at them yesterday and thinking how much they add to my life. My life would be boring without them. They make me laugh, cry, want to pull my hair out.
4. I am thankful for God. Without Him I am nothing.
5. I am thankful for my job. Most days I love it. Even through the stress it is fulfilling. I especially enjoy making eyeglasses for young children. It is fun to watch them put on their first pair of glasses.

We had a wonderfully quiet Thanksgiving yesterday. My mom & her boyfriend were supposed to join us for Thanksgiving. On Monday her boyfriend’s 16 year old son was killed in a car accident in Florida.

Understandably, mom has been with Jerry this week as he goes to the scene of the accident, memorial at the school & funeral on Friday.
Yesterday, Blair & I decided to have a relaxing family day instead of traveling. I had a special cinnamon roll breakfast with the girls. Blair made a huge lunch of turkey, mashed potatoes, okra, corn, lima beans, peas, etc. The girls played outside because the weather was gorgeous. After lunch came naptime! After naps we took the girls to see the movie Happy Feet. Popcorn, Skittles, & Coke! We had a casual dinner at home after the movie. It was a relaxing, quiet day indeed!
