Thankfulness November 1, 2 and 3

Thankfulness.  November is the time we really think of what we are thank for because of Thanksgiving coming up.  I generally try to post something I'm thankful for each day of November.  I'm a little behind so I'll get caught up.

November 1, I am thankful for a a warm house to come home to on a chilly, breezy day.  As much as I love the chill and bite of the Autumn air, it is nice to know I can come home and snuggle under a warm blanket and be safe and secure.  So many people don't have that especially now in the wake of Hurricane Sandy.

November 2, I am thankful for Scott trying .....  and LIKING Chick-Fil-A nuggets!  He has always said he didn't like them.  That night coming home from hockey, he and Dad stopped and Dad convinced him to try them saying he only had to eat 4.  Well, he ate 7!!!!  And told me they were "really good!!"  This may sound trivial but for a VERY picky boy who had virtually no appetite, this was HUGE!!

November 3, I am thankful for NC Forestry Service Ranger Mike Huffman who led an awesome program at our local Educational State Forest for our WEBELO Scouts and Girl Scouts  today!  He was entertaining, kept the kids engaged and taught us ALL so much about the forest!  It was a beautiful day to be outside and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit and our hike with Ranger Mike!

And lastly, this is my 200th post!  I'm very honored for it to be a Thankfulness post!  Please, I'd love to have comments of what YOU were thankful for today!

Happy Birthday Mama!!!!

Today, I am also immensely thankful for my mother! She is an awesome lady with enormous strength. She was diagnosed with Lupus in her early twenties and told she’s be dead in 6 years. Well, she definitely beat that!!! She went on to get married, have 2 children and now has 2 grandchildren. She's a great Mom!! She hasn’t had a easy life. Lupus is an autoimmune system that attacks a lot of your systems. She has had quadruple bypass surgery, arterial grafts, 5 hip replacements and 1 knee replacement and she’s still going at 68 years old today!

Happy Birthday Mama! I love you!!!

Thankfulness ~ November 12

More Thankfulness!! Gotta get caught back up!

November 8, I was thankful we found fuzzy crocs for the kids at the outlet store. Sara’s been asking for some since LAST year!

November 9, I was thankful the Boy Scouts meeting was cancelled because we were all too tired!

November 10, I was thankful we made it home safely from the doctor’s driving in the remnants of Ida…in the dark. Have I mentioned I can’t see well in the dark? And it’s worse in the rain?

November 11, I was thankful the kids and Hubby cleaned up the kitchen and living room while I was at work.

November 12, today I am thankful for the ability to delete some very inappropriate comments that have made their way into my blog. I am also thankful for the ability to moderate those comments to keep my blog a nice place to visit.

November 3, I was thankful I didn't have any obligations to attend to!

November 4, I was thankful Sara did so well at her dance class. The moves are really starting to click.

November 5, I was thankful a potentially serious concern at work was resolved meaning less work for me.

November 6, I was thankful for the extra time spent snuggling with Sara and gabbing about the day before she went to sleep.

November 7, I am thankful for a great day with Scott including hockey practice, scouts outing and a great hockey game where he did a great job on the ice and had a fabulous time!!!

Thankfulness ~ November 2

This month we celebrate Thanksgiving. In the spirit of the holiday I'm going to post something for which I am thankful for every day of the month. Okay, so it's November 2 and I'm already behind. So here's the deal, if I get behind, I'll catch up with the next Thankfulness (is tht a real word??) Post. Cool? So here goes:

For November 1, I was thankful for my brother who came to visit and spent loads of time with the children even keeping them on their Teacher Workday so Hubby and I didn't have to miss work. He spent the Halloween weekend with us and left on Nov 1. I was also thankful that he got home safe and sound.

Fov November 2, I am thankful for my son, Scott, who earned his very first Boy Scout badge tonight! He worked very hard to learn his Scout Motto and the Laws of the Pack. We are so proud of him!
