My 8 y/o is annoying me by playing the same 3 songs over and over and over again, but that means he's home. I now know the full freaking lyrics to Posion by Alice Cooper if anyone cares.
Everyone else is safe and sound.
My 18 y/o is going to his roommates for Thanksgiving, but at least I've raised a responsible enough young man who is doing good with his life.
Pardon me while I go cry some more over the fact he's not coming home.
1) For the men and women overseas so that we can be here safe and sound! And their Families!
2) For the one's that paid the ultimate price and their chair at the table will forever be empty.
3) Friends and Family!
#1 God for letting me be here at all
#2 My precious son, daughter, and husband, as well as extended family
#3 The fact that I have a job, that the bills are paid, that although I don't always have what I "want", I do always have what I NEED, I'm thankful for my friends, my pets, my home, my basically good health, a running car, food in the fridge, hot water, a working stove/refrigerator/washer and dryer, the list could go on because it could really be so much worse!
