Happy Thanksgiving!

On this day, I’d like to take a moment to mention what I’m thankful for.

I am thankful for my family and close friends, who keep me sane. My mom is wonderful, and while we don’t see each other as often as we’d like, she’s almost always just a phone call away- whether it’s to help me get through a meltdown, or to gush over a TV show we both watch. My in-laws are just as important, as they’re the ones who put up with my madness (as well as the kidlets) on a daily basis and I love them all dearly. And Jerad! I’m thankful for him- everyone should have as great a best friend.

I’m thankful for my boys-though they keep my on my toes and have probably caused my premature graying, they truly are sweet kids. Full of love, full of joy, and full of a desire to discover new things. I’m thankful for TheBoy, whom I love thoroughly and who supports me in everything I do. And who works at a job that sometimes seems thankless because he wants to give us everything.

I’m hurriedly typing this while I do my current duty- keeping the living room clean. Later I’ll start mashed potatoes. And that’s all I’m doing today, other than eat. Mwahaha.

Happy Thanksgiving! May it be filled with warmth, love and some good food.

Update: I am also thankful for my dad, who used to give me lifesavers when I was having a rough time, and totally needs to start that up again. (That’s what you get for saying I didn’t mention you, Dad)
