I am thankful for a husband who still thinks I’m the wife for him, even while he makes me soup and edits my chapters.
I am thankful for kids who believe me when I say the house must be cleaned (without my help) or no more Wii for the whole break. I am thankful when they love me anyway.
I am thankful for chocolate, especially when I’m way behind on edits and have a deadline. Okay, I’m thankful for the edits too, ’cause they give me an excuse to eat chocolate.
I am thankful that in NC, our weather still looks like a fall harvest could possibly be going on when we celebrate Thanksgiving.
I am thankful that this Thanksgiving I will only be bringing my cough and the key lime pie to the table. I will not be bringing any tissue boxes, for which my fellow diners are thankful.
I am thankful that this year, Black Friday starts on Thursday night instead of Friday morning. Late night=good. Early morning=bad. Thank you Black Friday people!
I am thankful for Monk, which is my favorite show right now. It makes me laugh before I sleep, and that means deeper rest. It also means I can recognize when I’m channeling my inner Monk and sometimes tell myself to stop.
I am thankful we got the last pack of model rocket engines. I’m also thankful that my camera took a miracle shot, and even let me hold it while the camera took the picture.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
