Today I'm grateful for......
A full, safe, and wonderful holiday weekend spent with friends and family. I had time to relax, time to party, and quality time with my loved ones.
Playing twenty questions with my family at dad's on Sunday, who knew it could be so much fun! Even the kids loved it! ......Good idea Tracie :)
Reconnecting with someone I haven't seen in twenty years! Unbelievable, we spent six hours talking, ....in one day! We talked on the phone for two hours and then decided to meet for dinner, good food, and great meaningful conversation. It was lovely.
Getting enough sleep last night to be up and typing this right now.
Beautiful rainy days.
Irony and the way people's lives weave in and around each other's.
That thing inside me that pushes me to just step out and make contact with people.
The power of prayer, manifestation, meditation, positivities :) ....whatever you choose to call it.
Good things are happening for the people I love.
You my little rain drop, you.

Sleeping in :)
Today I'm grateful for....
A wonderful visit with jones last Sunday. A great lunch at la peeps, love that place. Kelsey and Taylor had a nice time visiting and it was fun getting to brag about my girls while they were present.
Giggling with Kelsey and Taylor on our way home from indy.
Making cookies at midnight to send to Dis in Alaska! Got them made and sent off in time for Thanksgiving.
Easttipp winning their game Tuesday.
Being brave enough to climb the extension ladder up into the attic over the garage! Kelsey helped me get our Christmas stuff down, and didn't make fun of me while I was shaking and trying to get up the ladder. :) Love heights, don't like ladders.
Getting our Christmas tree up Wednesday night so we could have more free time on Friday. We've always put our tree up the day after Thanksgiving. It's not decorated, but it's up. It's a fantastic fake tree, I call it my 10 minute tree :) Pre-lit, it comes in 3 pieces, yes I said 3 pieces, and it was an after Christmas bargain one year so it was cheap! You put the base up, then the middle, then the top, plug it in and you're done!
Making chocolate rice crispie treats with Taylor to take to mom's on Thursday.
A lovely easy turkey day, my mom lives 10 minutes away and we didn't have to be there until 5.
Getting to see my family and eat lots of good food! :)
Taylor's excitement about going shopping at 4 am with Lisa on Black Friday.
Kelsey and I choosing to stay home and avoid all the people.
Hangin with dad for a bit on Friday. A surprise visit from my Aunt and Uncle, getting to chat with them for a bit and watching my dad act like a brat of a brother around his sister.
People looking out for me.
My new Sexy MotherPucker lip gloss! Saw the name and had to have it! I stood in the store laughing by myself at the packaging and names of all their products, so funny!
Chatting with Lisa.
Hanging with Jessie. Being loved on, and big hugs.
Looking forward to a casual Thanksgiving visit with dad on Sunday.
Sleeping in and waking up slow :) with no alarms, to a quiet house.
you my fluffy pillow, you.

Better Late Than Never
Today I'm grateful for.......
A week late, better late than never....
Lisa's maturity and bravery last Friday, sticking up for herself and handling a situation that needed to be taken care of with grace and dignity, after quietly freaking out with her girlfriends :)
Tracie's new dance moves, you are the definition of "hot mama" :)
Getting to play with Kim by herself for the first time since she had AJ.
Dancing, dancing, dancing
Piano Man
Having sisters, the best in the world.
Chatting with Vance while every one was in Asheville, hearing they were having a blast.
Just now realizing every one was there for the baby shower! I'm getting old, my memory is slipping, if I had remembered I would have gone. Accepting that I'm very forgetful and making a "mental note" :) to try and improve on that.
Being blessed with beautiful hair.
Finally getting started on my latest commission painting.
Staying home more and loving it.
Making my time on the elliptical a habit.
The red maple tree in my front yard, it's still holding on to most of it's leaves even with all the wind we've had.
Running into Lisa at the store today and seeing her beautiful smiling face.
Being called out of my pajamas for an impromptu get together with my girlfriends last night, so much laughter.
The sunset at this very moment.
A phone call from Dis :) questions about cookies, and christmas.
Lunch with Gary and Matt today.
Fried green tomatoes, love them.
A visit with Jess today, lots of girl talk. Walking down to the school with her to pick up Kayla and Brea. Getting to hold Tristin's little hand while we walked. Kayla's love for me :) As soon as she saw me she yelled my name and came running to hug me.
Looking forward to the meteor shower saturday night.
Looking forward to time with jones on sunday.
Finding myself paying attention to all the things I'm grateful for, just randomly throughout the day.
Songs that make me cry, make me smile, make me jump up and down, make me move and shake my shit.
Taylor's bravery...she's singing a solo in front of the whole school for the talent show.
Kelsey talking and talking and talking about her field trip to Beef and Boards.
Taking the girls to see musicals when they were younger, they loved them then and they love them now.
Good things are happening for the people I love.
you my little friend, you.

Giggles
Today I am grateful for.......
Spending Friday afternoon with Jess. Feeling the love and making each other smile. Walking to the school with her to pick up Kayla and Brea. The two girls running to give me hugs as soon as they saw me :) such joy! All the giggling that happens between Jess and I, and especially when her girls are around!
Meeting up with Lisa, Billy, Colleen and Ed unexpectedly Saturday night. Lots of laughs.
Laughing until it hurt at Laura and Mike's story about wet farts!!!!!!!
A nice easy weekend. Good conversations with friends.
Spending Sunday with family to celebrate Tracie's birthday. Getting to see the babies playing at mom's. Watching my daughters come together and actually enjoy each other, no picking on each other! They were talking quietly, giggling together and genuinely having a good time together. They looked more like friends than they did sisters, .........so lovely.
Kyleigh's giggles! She is just a ball of joy all the time! Such a happy child. She never enters a room quietly, you always know she's coming because she announces she's there by saying hello to everyone and bounding into the room giggling, jumping and squealing with joy.
Gaining that extra hour of sleep early Sunday morning which made my Monday morning so much more enjoyable.
An invite to join Vance, Pat, and Amy for dinner in a couple of weeks.
Looking at Jenny's engagement pictures, what a beautiful setting.
Lisa G. sharing pictures of her goat, Rocky :) Too funny.
A quick phone call from Dis Saturday night, ..more giggling.
Talking to Dis again on Sunday while watching the Colts game. A mutual understanding that if we stopped mid sentence, it was all about the game :)
Continuing to stretch and finally noticing a difference. ....Taylor and I stretching together, helping each other stretch a little further. ....giggling and laughing together.
Plans to meet up with jones in a couple of weeks.
Loving my bedroom.
Good things are happening for the people I love.
You my little giggle box, you.
