Today we are supposed to list the things we are thankful for and well yes I am thankful for my hub who puts up with me and me him my best friend the love of my life no really he is and on Christmas eve it will be 12 years!
I am thankful for the freedom to homeschool and well the freedoms that come along with living in this great country of the USA!
I am thankful for the service men and women retired and current, past and present for their sacrifices.
But I am most thankful for the times that I will remember in my life.
I am thankful for my beautiful girls....the good stuff sure who doesn't love a picture drawn just for mom or a snuggle on the couch.... but the arguing the whining the complaining the foot stomping, eye rolling, yelling, hands on the hips, fake tears, SIGHing, drama similar to what the Greeks portrayed , tragedy equal to a Shakespearean play, oh and the door slamming (easily resolved by the oldest having her door removed from it's hinges HAH take that parenting books) those are the times when they make me frustrated and make me laugh when they are most candidly themselves not some perfect daughter wannabes lol lol
This is where I remember those times...you should totally make one of these....we made ours about a year ago when I was on my last nerve (those of you with girls know of what I speak)
See totally thankful...
I would show you some of what was overflowing the box but A.) you might ruin your computer spitting a drink all over the keyboard with laughter for the quotable kid things that are ingrained in their DNA because we remember saying them and B.) the girls declared them private but let me tell you some of the things they wrote were not just complaints they were a peek into the deep love they have for each other and I will cherish and be thankful for this little box forever....ALL of their COMPLAINTS!

I smell turkey roasting and my cranberries are popping on the stove....the sewing machine will be burning rubber making inventory once I get off the computer.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING eat lots of turkey!
Happy Thanksgiving!!!
