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, theContinueContinue 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. WeContinueContinue 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 thatContinueContinue 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,ContinueContinue 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 campContinueContinue 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 onContinueContinue 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 homeContinueContinue reading “From rolling to rice-licking, she’s a keeper”

Check your battery!

Today, I am thankful for a blustery fall day and comfort foods like grilled cheese, tomato soup, and homemade apple crisp. I heart the fall. Oh yeah, and I am thankful for batteries. To kids, putting new batteries in old toys is like getting new toys, and thus might as well be comparable to winningContinueContinue reading “Check your battery!”
