More Gratitude

Nov. 20
1. Sunday. I am grateful for a day of rest.
2. Vacation. I am officially on vacation, even though I am sick. It is still great!
3. Sunday doctor. The doctor is open today so I don't have to take my sick children to the emergency room.

Nov. 21
1. Medicine. I am grateful for acetaminophen and ibuprofen!
2. My children. Did I already say this one? If I did, it's worth repeating. My children are darling, sweet creatures (most of the time).
3. Manners. We had dinner with missionaries and before hand I prepped Lilly with table manners and she did great! She did not shame me. Unlike the time the missionaries came to our house and asked Lilly if she knew what book they were holding (the book of Mormon), she told them she had never seen or heard of the book ever before. Shame was thrust upon our family, and for the record she had seen and heard of the book before.

1. Cartoons. They keep my children occupied while we all have a sick day.
2. Homemade Mac and Cheese.  One of the few things I can make without a recipe and with success.
3. Family.  I have wonderful family, brothers and sisters, parents, and my own husband and children. I am very lucky to have them.

Nov. 23
1. Movies.  I love movies at Thanksgiving and there are some good ones out for the holiday! I love the muppets.
2. Running.  I have had a cold this week and as a result I have barely been able to run or work out. That makes me extra grateful for the days I can run. I know I said running before, but this is a different reason so it counts.
3. Pictures.  I have thousands of pictures of my children that I love looking at.
