Mita's First Pie - All From Scratch!

I thought about writing a snarky post blasting what I am ungrateful for as a direct contrast to normal Thanksgiving day blog posts, but I didn’t. I don’t have the time or energy to be snarky at this point!

Christmas is my favorite holiday and (not just for the gifts!) but Thanksgiving is growing on me. I, of course, like the food.  I can take or leave Turkey, but the sides I adore.  Noodles, stuffing, deviled eggs, pie…… I can east several helpings if I leave out the turkey!  Mostly I like the time we take to be thankful. I think all of us are thankful for our blessing, and I also know that we are all so busy we sometimes forget to take the time, the space, the moment to give thanks.

I am thankful for many, many things, but here are just a few:

My hubby for putting up with me, loving me and being such a great Dad.

My girls – all of the them for bringing laughter and pride into my lift as well as challenging me to be a better person.

My parents for their continued support and help with watching my kiddos when I need it and having a great home to go relax in.

My mother in law for her love and generosity.

My brother and sister-in-law for giving hubby and I a great date weekend last week and watching my girls.

My job, for letting me come back to work for a few hours a week to help new families and help me regain my sanity.

My friends for giving me a circle to have fun with and complain with.

My upcoming breast reduction -  No more back/neck pain or skin infections!

My puppy dog for cuddling with me nightly.

There is more, but I will stop there for now!

 

My twenty-five days of thankfulness blogging experience is almost over. I’m a bit behind, but will be at my goal by Thursday. I’m sure of it.  Pretty sure. Wouldn’t bet the house but maybe my lunch sure that I will have these twenty-five blessings done up in writing!

#12 Computers

What would I do without my computer?  I would be lost. I would have to go to the library to look up information. I would not be able to map out my directions at the drop of a hat. Phone numbers?  I would have to let my fingers do the walking while using a good old fashioned phone book.

I love that I can type out letters and emails to the kids’ teachers quickly, put a feeling on twitter to share will the world and look at pictures my friends have taken in another state as soon as they are taken.

I may be addicted. I have had to pace myself at times, I have stepped away from my computer at times  I may be loving it a bit too much and not getting things done that need to get done.

I adore living in the age of the Internet and am very thankful for my computer!
