"You'd be happy wrapped in my apron strings"
I stayed up way too late last night. Which, in turn, had me waking up pretty late this morning.
Not that I did anything exciting but watch TV and do laundry last night. But that’s okay by me. I’m too old to be out past midnight these days.
In fact, that’s what I’m thankful for … being able to sleep in. I know that this is a luxury that most people don’t have.
Why can’t we have more four-day weekends? I can get a lot more things done if given four days off every week.
Of course, when I mean “get things done,” it really means “do fun things” like go to the movies. And start Christmas shopping. And knit.
Oh, and clear out the DVR which has been almost at max capacity for the past couple of weeks. Thank God for holiday breaks in TV programming.
But that’s not what I’m thankful for today. What I’m thankful for is the time spent with Hubby doing all these things this weekend.
Except the knitting part. Because he don’t knit. 🙂
I have two kids at home. They rely on me to feed them and keep them warm and love them unconditionally.
So what if they have fur and walk on all fours?
Yep, my kiddos are my dog and my cat. Two adorable pets that we adopted. One beagle-shepherd mix (Kozzy) who’s absolutely adorable, but not necessarily the sharpest tool in the shed. And one black cat (Yami) who likes to think she’s the brightest crayon in the box.
The two of them, though not the kind of kids I thought I’d have, are my children.
I’m so thankful to have them in my life.
***********
I’d be remiss if I didn’t include my third furbaby, Rain. Especially since it was Thanksgiving weekend when we had to let her go. Not a day goes by that I don’t miss her …
Today is the ultimate day of thanks … at least here in the U.S. Nothing like watching “America’s Thanksgiving Day Parade” in Detroit and then heading down to Ford Field to watch the Lions play the Houston Texans (we were robbed of that game!) to make it a Detroit-type of Thanksgiving Day. Top it off with a Turkey dinner at the In-Laws, it’s just been a wonderful type of day.
So what am I thankful for today? Family, for one. I just wish I could spend it with everyone in my family. It’s always hard during the holidays trying to find a way to split time between two families.
Friends are also another thing that I’m thankful for. I may not always be in touch with them, but knowing they’re out there makes life less lonely.
And of course, there’s the everlasting love and devotion that I get from Hubby. That is something that I never take for granted and am so thankful that I’m blessed with having such a best friend and soulmate for my husband.
So there you have it … three things I’m absolutely thankful for this Thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving to you all!
Short, but sweet today. I am very thankful for the long holiday weekend.
So what if I’m on call?
