Happy Thanksgiving weekend to all my Canadian friends out there. We aren't actually having a big Thanksgiving dinner this weekend........ Mike is working afternoons all weekend, so it's going to be a nice quiet weekend just the girls and I thinking about how much we have to be thankful for.......
1. My family. Honestly the past two months have been tough. So tough. Luckily our families have allowed us to lean on them, very heavily. We appreciate it beyond words. Then there is Michael, going through such a stressful time can sometimes bring out the worst in us when it comes to our spouses. I am happy to report that, if anything, this has made us tighter than ever.... likely because I play the role of long suffering and uber supportive wife to Oscar level qualities. I kid. I kid........ sorta. As for my baby girls, well they've been managing the best they can.... which for Maya means more crying than usual.
2. My family by choice. There are plenty of people out there who we have welcomed into our lives like family and these past two months would have been a lot more difficult if not for their support, willingness to listen, texts, emails and lots of hugs and the occasional comment about my new sexy haircut. It's made the tough stuff a little easier to manage. I am thankful for each and every one of you.
3. Reading. I'm fairly certain that my insomnia would be off the charts if not for The Earth Child Series by Jean M Auel. Every night I have crawled into bed and forced myself to concentrate on the story until my eyes couldn't stay open a minute longer. Easy to do with a story as engrossing as this one has been. I love long books and I love that there are six thick books in this series. I'm only on book two, Valley of the Horses, so I have plenty of time ahead with Ayla and Jondalar.
4. Work. I have lots of work to do right now. On top of my regular job.... where my best girls there have really been bringing the funny lately. Thanks ladies it's been great to put all the other stuff aside and have some laughs at work. You have all been good for my soul. xo Also there's a lot of post fair work I need to get done, sooner than later, so that's been grabbing most of my free time. So much that I have yet to see a full episode of Glee (I hear I'm not missing much this season) or Dancing with the Stars. Also I have my next big project coming up in a couple of weeks... (Touch a Truck!!) that I have to be ready for. So there hasn't been a lot of time to wallow, but don't worry we've been managing to squeeze it in.
5. Health. We are all healthy. What more can you ask for?
What are you thankful this weekend?
