Yesterday, I was a ditz. My sister sent me a great big box full of clothes, candy and cookies!!! How could I not be thankful for that?! Getting packages in the mail is one of the most enjoyable things in life. Especially when they are from family and sent with love. We had so muchContinue reading "Candy, Cookies, & Chubs"
Thankful for this
I woke up on the wrong side of the bed today. But surprisingly, the day got better as it wore on and I am grateful. So is my husband. I am also grateful for this blog and this idea to write what I'm thankful for each day. Even if my posts have been hastily writtenContinue reading "Thankful for this"
Love and Lemons
Right now, my husband and I are sitting on the couch like zombies. He, starring at the computer screen looking over things like OE scores and labor costs from Chick-fil-A that I am sure he already knows. And me, starring at some corny Christmas catalogue I had previously made fun of, flipping through pages ofContinue reading "Love and Lemons"
Enough of the early rising
Glory glory Halleluia! The sun arose before my kids today. It's a miracle. With the lack of daylight savings and the early bird tendencies of my children, the last few months have left us shuffling around in our pjs in the wee hours of the morning. And the not so wee hours. I mean, theContinue reading "Enough of the early rising"
Popping Corn
This might be seem a little strange, but I am thankful for the air popper that the owner of the house we are now renting left behind in our kitchen cabinets. It makes pretty good popcorn, and considering I threw out our old disgustingly greasy Whirly Pop when we moved, it's a wonderful replacement. WeContinue reading "Popping Corn"
From Terrifying to Touchable
Not wanting to take pictures of my own disgusting toes for your viewing pleasure, I just googled images to see if there was a picture of someone else's "ugly" feet I could show you. Let me reassure you, there are lots ugly, down right disgusting feet out there. Some that made me cringe, some thatContinue reading "From Terrifying to Touchable"
Breaking News: Wal-Mart is cheap
You thought I was kidding about this posting every day thing, didn't you? Welp, the thankfulness is still going strong! And today I am thankful for Wal-Mart. Yup, Wal-Mart. We went there this morning for our weekly grocery shopping trip. Where else can you get a cart full of groceries for $80? That's cheap, cheap,Continue reading "Breaking News: Wal-Mart is cheap"
Less ants, Mor Chikin
Darrell says I should be thankful for ants today. But I'm not. There are ants invading our kitchen. (frown). He said this as I was ranting and raving and sweeping up ants. He compared it to The Hiding Place, and how Betsie was thankful for the fleas that infested their barracks in a concentration campContinue reading "Less ants, Mor Chikin"
Couch Potatoes
I'll keep it short and sweet this time. Right now, I am sitting on the couch watching football with my favorite person, Darrell. He came home from work today at 5:30, which is kinda rare these days. So I am thankful for that. Thankful to spend an evening together: eating dinner, talking, and sitting onContinue reading "Couch Potatoes"
From rolling to rice-licking, she’s a keeper
The sad truth is I am not often thankful for our dog. In fact, I am more often frustrated with her than anything else. We got her two weeks before I found out I was pregnant for the very first time, and she has tested my hormones, my sanity, and the cleanliness of our homeContinue reading "From rolling to rice-licking, she’s a keeper"
