The "I'm Thankful" Post

On this Thanksgiving Day, I figured I would share with you some of the things I am most thankful for.

I am thankful that we have a roof over our heads and food in our tummies.

I am thankful for elephants, because they make me happy.

I am thankful for music, and for the fact that I can listen to it and enjoy it, especially Sugarland and Lady A.  They rock.

I am thankful for the color purple, because it is pretty.

I am thankful for my husband, who loves me despite the fact that I can be a total bitch sometimes.  Okay, a lot.  But he gets me, so it's all good.

I am thankful for my kids.  I love them more than life itself, and I am so happy to be their mom.

I am thankful for my family...my mom, dad, sisters, brother, nieces, nephews, in-laws (not those in-laws...my sisters husbands and my brothers wife)...we may be growing up and focusing more on our own little families, but it is still awesome when we get together.

I am thankful for slipper socks.  They are the neatest little invention, and they keep my feet nice and warm.

I am thankful that Junior, the kids and I are all healthy, even though my mom seems to think I am having gall bladder issues, which is not fun, let me tell you.

I am thankful for television.  Cable television.  I don't think I could live without my Dexter and True Blood.  And Weeds.  Oh, and The Big C.  Yeah, I love TV.

I am thankful that I am happy.  I know there are a lot of people who go through life without ever truly being happy.  I am lucky that I have a family that knows how to goof off and laugh, and we do that a lot.

I am thankful for cheesecake.  Enough said.
