What a slacker

Ok so I know I have been slacking the last few weeks.  I didn't finish the thankful month.  I forgot what it's like to work 12 hour shifts during the day.  I am still adjusting to working again.  I have been off longer than I realized

I really have to say my thankful list keeps going. I want each of you to know I am so thankful God placed you all in my life. With out the support of all my friends and family I really don't think I would have made it through this last 6 monthes.  Most of you will never know how much the texts, facebook comments, emails, meals, phone calls and all the other million thingg you have done to support have meant to me as I learn my new normal.

There is so much to be thankful for and I am going to continue to find something to be thankful for each day.  I am not sure I will post them.  Miracle are everywhere and God is always placing "I love you" notes through out my day.  I don't always take the time to notice them.  One of my new years goals is going to look for the everyday miracles that happen in my life.  Great or small they are there.  My goal is going to start today!


Ok I must start my errarnds and start looking for my miracles.  I encourage each of you to do the same.

Today I am thankful I am not cooking the big dinner. In fact I am not cooking anything. It feels weird not to work and not to cook.

Today I am thankful Stuart had the day off. It was so nice he started the process of bringing the turkey and he did my least favorite thing. He cleaned the whole house for me. I am so blessed!

Today I am thankful for all the love and support of my biological and adopted siblings. They make life so much easier. They make me laugh when I am depressed, love me I am not solovable and are always there for me when I need them. There is something in each of them I aspire to be like when I grow up. I haven't alway been the best sister. To my little sister I was mean, embarrassing, and just plain cruel especially to my little sister. I am so sorry Lori. Thank you so much for being there for me. You are one of the people I can count when my life isn't what I want it to be. I hope I can be as dependable, courageous and have as much as you do someday. T. Thanks for being such a great Uncle and friend to my kids. I hope someday I can be as loyal to my friends as you were for Bryan. You are a very special person. Cheryl, I am so glad we have reconnected. Thanks for always listening and giving such wonderful advice at all hours of the day. I hope I can be as a devoted and patient parent as you are. Thanks again for all you guys do for me.

Today I am thankful for my Mom and Dad. My mom chose to gove life to me as a single mom. She had many struggles but always found away to put food on the table and loving people to take care of us. My Dad chose to adopt me when I was 8. We have our differences and most of the time have a hard time getting along. Through it all they are there to help out. They helped me raise Bryan and Krystal. I am so thankful that they took in Bryan. Thanks to both of you. I love you..

Today I am thankful for my two oldest kids, Bryan and Krystal. These two beautul babies came to me when I was pretty young. We went through a lot together. I was a single mom for many years. I made lots of mistakes learned so many lessons and have so many memories. Bryan, thank you for always making me smile or laugh, even when you were in trouble. You were my sunshine on a cold day. Krystal, thank you for always smiling. Thanks for never giving up. You are bight, witty and so caring. I love you so much. You have always been my ray of hope in the midst of very dark bleak gray times.
