Trying to be thankful

Things are crazy now. I can name a hundred different things that are wrong. But, in honor of Thanksgiving, i'm going to write about the things that i have to be thankful for. Some might seem a bit silly, or not as important, but they are things i'm thankful for, and that's what really matters right?

I am thankful for the roof over my head. There were times in the past when we didn't know what we were going to do about a home. We lived on peoples couches, or in kitchens. We had to store everything but the essentials in a storage shed, and live out of yaffa blocks (which are awesome by the way) So the fact that we are living in our own two bedroom apartment and making all the bills i am very thankful for

I am thankful for central heat and air. Yeah, i know, kinda silly, but when you live without it for a couple years, it is such a wonderful thing. And it's a great thing knowing that i don't have to worry about my kids getting too cold or too hot. That is such a relief. That's great.

I am thankful for my wonderful children. For the chances to watch them grow and learn. For the chances to be happy for them because of something they have accomplished. For the way they wrap their arms around me and plant a kiss on my cheek and tell me they love me. That melts my heart. For the way they like to cuddle, and they way they laugh.

I am thankful for my husband and all he does for us. For the way he works his ass off to pay the bills for us to live our comfortable life. For the way he has been so supportive of me and the dreams i have. For the fact that everything he does allows me to be a stay at home mom with my two beautiful girls. And i wouldn't trade it for the world.

I am thankful for my family. Even though we don't always get along, they have always been here for us when things go wrong. They help us any way they can, and i can't say thank you enough for all they have done.

I am thankful for friends who help me remember that there are people out there that care about me. For the fact that they drag my ass back down to earth when i get carried away, or offer me a hand up when i fall. For the fact that, no matter how bad i fuck up, they are always there on the other side, and help me remember what i'm fighting for.

I am thankful for the ability to find things to do with family that don't require money. Having two daughters, it's hard to keep them occupied sometimes, and having things that we can do no matter how broke we may end up, is a great thing.

That's all i've got for now. Gotten distracted, as usual, lol. Time for the girls to eat dinner, and for me to check on Ruben. Hopefully he's feeling better. I HATE HIM SICK. Especially after that last time, i'm constantly worried about it. And i just hope that he doesn't give it to the girls if he does get something serious. Last thing we need is for ALL of us to get sick, ugh.

SOO, i'll try to remember more of the things i'm thankful for, and post them later. Still got a whole day before it's thanksgiving morning. I am excited for the thanksgiving parade this year. Hopefully Ivy and Desiree will be as happy as i am about it, lol. Always loved it. So hopefully i will have someone to watch it with me this year. LATERS
