Giving Thanks~

I have so many wonderful things to be thankful for. I could spend hours writing them... I will make it brief.

I am thankful for 7 men and women who work so very hard 4 nights a week to ensure that Tommy comes home safe to his family.

I am thankful for 3 healthy and happy children. Three children that make me laugh daily, right after I threaten to put them up for adoption. Three children that are my heart and soul.

I am thankful for the little things that mean the most. The sweet little notes I find taped to my tank top that Brinkley wanted to surprise me with. The late night snuggles from the Pudgie man.. which turn into campouts on Daddy's side of the bed. The second, third or even the fourth hug that I have to give to Jaxi so he can sleep at night. The littlest of big things... I am thankful for that long tight hug I get everyday before Tommy goes to work.

I am thankful for family. It isn't a huge family... and sometimes we fight, but we love each other and that is all that matters in the end.

I am thankful for life. No matter how hard it seems it can get, I am thankful to be here. I am thankful for the fact that rainy days make me cry from pain... at least I can feel it.

I am thankful for little voices that say, "oh is on" and "what the?" in tones that make you snap your neck and laugh so hard you might just wet your pants.

I am thankful for this crazy thing we call our family!
