But I don't want to do that right now... I just want to say how thankful I am for a few things in my life...and it isn't even November yet!
1. I am thankful for my children... I love that they are hard-headed, strong-willed, and determined... I have one right now looking for his Livestrong bracelet instead of doing his homework... I am choosing not to fight that battle... It reminds him of his granddaddy.
2. I am so glad I live in Lincolnton... I walked in my childhood home tonight... and there were no seats... My daddy was in his chair... my mama standing at the kitchen sink... one nephew on the floor from window to window... one brother on the couch... two nephews on the couch... a sister-in-law sitting on the arm of the sofa sipping coffee... a child in a rocker and another child in a chair... and another brother sprawled out... I had all the people I love in one place... except Mark... he is out of town... There was a wreck this afternoon... I had to do all the calls to make sure my family was safe... Gosh, I'm lucky!
3. I am glad I have the day off tomorrow... I can write that paper that I have been avoiding... I only have four more classes left before I have my EDS.... big deal... whoppty do.... who cares...
4. I am over facebook now... I like instagram, love candy crush, but look forward to my Bible app devotion that comes up every day to keep me on track... this week I have had some really good laughs... God really does have a sense of humor sending me some of those things...
5. I don't really like dogs... I am a cat person... Our cat is trashy... she likes to spend the night out with her boyfriend somewhere and come home in the morning to come in the house... I have her in the house tonight.... I had to call her forty-two times before she came inside, but she finally decided to come home... I hope my children of the flesh don't act like that. I like her in the house at night when Mark is out of town... that way if I hear something I can blame it on her.
6. I hope I sleep like a baby tonight. Our family watched the Elizabeth Smart story Friday night after the ballgame... KB has been sleeping right up next to me every night since then...she talks in her sleep... even got up the other night and put a pillow in the chest of drawers... random... and Mark... he has been snoring lately... and Ben... he breathes so heavy when he is sleeping that I think it is an animal... All four of us in one room... but I love them all... One day I will wish they were all back in there with me!
7. This weather is wonderful... I plan on dropping off the children at school tomorrow and coming home and perching on the porch with this computer while I write my paper! And my coffee
8. I caved and went to a chiropractor... I think they can cure anything now... I feel so much better! I am so excited that progress has been made! It hurts me to think of the money I have spent on mri, xrays, pain pills... btw... pain pills... my body isn't made for them... surely these people hooked on them don't throw up when they take one like I do
9. I have bought a Christmas present... only problem is I think I need to go ahead and give it...
10. I can't think of anything for number 10 except I wish that the paper that I have known about since August 19.... had at least the title page written.... ugh....
