Well Happy Thanksgiving my dear friends.  I hope you are with your family and friends and being thankful for all of them.  I am still sick and laid up in the bed.  I have managed to at least work but by the time I come home I am drained and in pain to the point of passing out.  I will say this though the Macy’s Thanksgiving parade is really COOL when you have taken a Loratab.  I have been a bad mommy today.  I have had to put my cooking off on my wee ones.  So I have my husband doing the Turkey and Rolls and potatoes.  My son is doing the dressing and my youngest is doing the green bean casserole.  My oldest daughter is hiding from me because she is afraid I will find her something to make.  Oops my husband just found her something to do and I feel a storm a brewing.  I have often wondered do other families have the same drama and chaos as our family.  Do other families have a moody, emo and dramatic 12 year olds?  How about 10 year old son who has had an attitude for the last month to the point I am buying him handcuffs and a gag ball.  What about a seven year old who has no patience?  Or an annoying husband who is insisting that I go BACK to the ER tomorrow.  I refuse to go back to the ER.  It takes forever and they never really do anything to help me.  Like I said they cut me yesterday and sent me home with prescription for pain pills but NO pain pills. By the time I made it home I almost passed out from the pain.  So that brings us back to watching the parade while on pain meds.  I wanted to take a moment before I let you go to enjoy your Thanksgiving day and your family.  I am very thankful for so many people in my life.  I have three wonderful children (yes I know I rant about them but they are my life).

I am thankful for my husband who has been with me in sickness and health (a lot of that has been going around lately).  I am thankful for my parents and what they did for me.  I am also thankful my mother-in-law and sisters-in-law and all my friends and family.  However, my dear friends I am thankful that God is granting me the strength to get through another holiday without my brother.  Justin is missed every day but on the holidays it is so much worse.  So I miss you Justin Happy Thanksgiving to you and all of our loved ones up there waiting for us.  What are you thankful for dear readers?  So I am praying that the “Thanksgiving” angels are smiling down on all of us today…..
