The table is set, the turkey is brining & oven is self-cleaning. The girls are in bed and Chris is at work- hopefully heading back home soon. I am sipping my hard cider and relaxing- tallying up all I have to be thankful for.
I am thankful for a wonderful husband who loves me even when I am a psycho wife from hell. I know there are days that I am only moments away from being chopped-up and buried in the backyard, but for some reason I live on. Chris, although slightly flawed himself is also loving, forgiving, patient and amazingly funny. He is a great guy who is an amazing dad. There is nothing more sexier than a guy who loves his family!
I am thankful for my Sarah- who at three and a half has taught me so much. She is charming, beautiful, funny and smart. She is a great big sister, a fabulous helper- and she is getting to be a fantastic sock pairer-upper, washcloth folder and laundry sorter. She has her daddy’s quirky ways- she likes to sing and dance and wrestle and can be wacky and crazy and silly. She makes me laugh. She is also slightly obsessive-compulsive like her mommy, as well as fashionably aware of what matches and how to accessorize her outfits.
And then there is Sophie who is only days away from being one. She is our last year’s pleasant surprise-arrival who had grown in a flash. Our blond haired, blue eyes baby girl is walking, clapping and dancing. Momma, Dadda, cheese, and Sarah (Rah-Rah) are a few of her latest vocabulary words. She loves her big sister and is quite fond of her daddy too. Like her sister Sarah, she loves to disrobe down to her birthday suit and run around the house. I didn’t intend to raise a bunch of strippers, but if that what it takes to pay their way through med school- then go for it!
I am also thankful for the rest of my family and friends, both in-laws and out-laws who always support us no matter what. I am grateful that they are all happy and healthy and on the mend from whatever had ailed them this past year.
I am thankful that my guy won this past November and I am hopeful that with a new regime in the White House things will start to improve. Fully aware that our current state of affairs will not change overnight, I am optimistic that our nation is on its way to recovery. I am hoping our fiscal situation will improve, that our troops will return home safe and soon, and that whether we are black or white, Democrat or Republican- we will all learn to just get along!!
Oh- also thankful for the DVR which is recording “Criminal Minds” while I post to my blog….

A big thank you to you for getting me to Nikki(blogs for a cause). My Girl Scouts put together bags that she is bringing with her to Ethiopia for the children she sees on the streets. This young girl just blows my mind for all the work she does.
I am glad JoAnn- she really is amazing!
