I’m thankful for the kids’ health insurance and the wonderful staff at Forsyth Medical Center’s ER department. Joe stepped on a nail today, and we were seen, x-rayed, treated and streeted inside of two hours. He’s happily ensconced on the sofa with now-orange foot elevated, playing video games.
I’m thankful for the Wii that I nearly bankrupted myself for last Christmas. It has quite admirably kept Daniel (stomach virus) and Joe (see above) confined to their respective spots and engaged enough to keep them from torturing each other.
I’m grateful for my job. If I had a job that actually required me to think, I’m quite sure I would’ve been fired by now. Plus there’s the whole economy in the toilet thing – any job is better than none when you need one.
I’m grateful for Ree. Yes, I occasionally seethe with jealousy when I read her posts. Who wouldn’t? She’s a talented photographer and writer, has a kitchen that I WANT!!!!, and cooks. And gardens. And posts pictures of her hubby’s heiny. Then I read that she gets up at 430am on a regular basis (complete with fresh manure and calf nuts) and said “aw HAIL naw” to myself. Then I went to Starbucks and had a pumpkin spice latte. You know, to comfort myself.
Of course there is much more to be grateful for. But that’s all I’ve got right now.
