Thankful Thursday

Well, Well, Well, look what today is!!! I'm sooo Thankful it's Thursday. One week till Thanksgiving! One week till I see my Baby Alex (and the rest of the family of course!!). I can't believe she's gonna be a year old next week. Time flies when your little brother keeps having babies, lol!!!!! I'm thinking maybe one more, just to even out the number?!?!?!?!?!? How about it Bridget?

Anyhoo, I'm thankful that Sarah is starting to feel a little better. Her worst complaint now is all the sweating she does whenever she sleeps. No matter what time of day, if she falls asleep, she's gonna wake up drenched. That's something new for her, and she hates it. You know, girls don't even like to "glisten", much less sweat like a linebacker!!

But I have to say, she has the cleanest bedclothes in town! Pillows and all are getting washed a couple of times every day. Sure am thankful I got that nice BIG washing machine! I told her it would save some time if we could just put a kiddie pool on her bed and lay her in water to keep the sweat down. Hey, bath, bed and fun all at the same time, who wouldn't go for it?? Sarah, that's who!!!!!!

I'm thankful that I was finally able to find a new Internal Med Dr. for Sarah. She's all the way up at St. Mary's, but it will be worth it. She already has several patients that she works together with Sarah's Ortho Surgeon on, so they are familiar with her. Now to find time to go see her.....

I'm thankful that I was able to schedule both of Sarah's hospital follow-up appts. on the same day next Tuesday at St. Mary's. Since it's so close to Thanksgiving, I only wanted to drive up there once. Thank you Lord for working that out!!!!

I'm thankful Bobby hasn't caused me to lose my mind yet, lol!!! He brought another hunk of junk (4 wheeler this time) home the other night. Guess where it's sitting? Ok, not in my driveway, but in the back yard where I see it (along with his huge tires and boat) when I look out the kitchen window, grhhhh!!!!!!! Ok, Rob has junk out there too, but at least his is being productive. One day that siding will be on the house instead of in the yard!!!!

I'm thankful I finally got some work done on eBay. I listed a bunch of women's dress winter clothes yesterday that I got at a yard sale for $1.00 each. A lot of them still had the tags on, so if I sell just one, I've already recouped my investment. That makes me VERY thankful!!!!

I say this all the time, but I have to say it again. I'm soooo thankful that I am able to stay home and work on eBay, and not worry about having a job. I would have been so stressed and worried about that while Sarah was in the hospital. Mostly because I've always worked in small Drs. offices, and if someone is out, there's nobody to fill in for you, and it throws everybody off and makes them work harder and longer. I know lots of people have to face that every day, but I'm so thankful that I don't right now!!!!

I'm thankful that God has blessed Sarah with so many great friends from her Church. I don't know what she would have done without all of them. They have called, visited, kept her spirits up with encouraging words and cards. They are just amazing!!! Especially her Facebook buddies! What a blessing Facebook has been to us through all this. All you people know how to lift people up, make us laugh, and help us forget about all the medical stuff for a while!!!!!

I'm really not so thankful for all the sugar that's been in this house this week. Just when I tell the world I'm starting a diet, here comes Tirimisu (my fault), Key Lime Pie (Bobby's fault), those huge fund-raiser Cinnamon Buns and Carrot Cakes (Rob's fault)!!!! But I am thankful that I've been able to contol my consumption of said sins pretty well. Sharing half a slice of Tirimisu with my Mommy works out pretty well. And eating a 1/4 of the carrot cake then leaving the rest for Rob, that's okay. Still get the taste without the bloat. Okay, that's just TMI I think. Let's move on.....

I'm thankful for my wonderful husband, have I said that before? Just so you know, he's the most thoughtful, considerate man on the planet!!!!! And sexy too. Okay, I'll shut up. Let's not get out of hand this morning Crystal :-D But I do love me some Rob Jeffreys!!

Well, I wrote a lot more here, but somehow when I went to publish the blog, it disappeared, so I guess it wasn't meant to be. Maybe that was God's way of telling me to "zip it" and get to work!!!!!

Here's a corny Thankgiving joke for you:

"I was going to serve sweet potatoes for Thanksgiving, but I sat on them."

"Now what are you going to serve?"

"Squash".

Baahhaaahhhhaaaa!!! Whatever......

Don't forget to be Thankful this week!!
