Things on Thanksgiving

It’s almost Thanksgiving! I suppose I should blog about things I’m thankful for…oh and the fact that I did miss Things On Tuesday, again, so this should make up for it. However, in honor of Thanksgiving, there will be no “hates” or negatives.

1. I’m thankful for my Husband. Sure he ticks me off sometimes but he lets me get away with a lot of crap too. We do pretty well for being in this crazy time of our lives with a young son, young careers, and small bank account. All things that crash a lot of marriages these days.
2. I’m thankful for my son. He’s crazy, three, and a lot of work, but sometimes all it takes is his smile and I’m just fine. He makes me realize what’s important in life.
3. I’m thankful for my friends. Kristin and Sheri, you guys rock. Even 2,500 miles away you’re the best friends I could ever have.
4. I’m thankful for my house. Sure, it’s crumbling in some places but at least it’s mine and we’re not foreclosing.
5. I’m thankful for my job. In a crazy world where people are laid off daily I have security in knowing my job is safe right now. I also have a great part time deal I could take advantage of if need be. I’m thankful for security. Yes, two in one.
6. I’m thankful for my health. It’s not 100% but it’s a lot better than it has been in almost 10 years. KNOCK ON WOOD.
7. I’m thankful for turkeys. They make me happy. I laugh at them when they’re alive (how could you not? They have a waddle!) and I eat them when they are dead. Such wonderful creatures.
8. I’m thankful for God. OK, so perhaps he should have been first on my list but this isn’t really in order.
9. I’m thankful for VOX. I get to vent without getting into trouble. At least, so far.
10. Finally, I’m thankful for my family, both Mike’s and my own. It could all be a lot worse and 99.9% of the time they’re all pretty awesome.
