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!
