November 24, 2010 Blessing #184
This has been a long time coming. School is out today. This means that I finally get to see to all that has been in the back of my mind regarding prepping for Thanksgiving. I am hosting this year-and it is a big group! I love to have my home full of family, but until today there hasn't been a moment for me to prepare (or do much else for that matter).
Well, the pace has changed, thank heaven. I've had my breakfast, the kids are still snoozing, and I actually have a few minutes for counting (and even typing!) blessings. So first, I'm thankful for those few minutes--just Jake and me (our lab) in a quiet moment of gratitude. Second, I'm thrilled that my children are still sleeping, because they need it. They have been at each other's throats lately and all I can figure is that they are exhausted. And finally, I am so blessed to have a wonderful Thanksgiving to look forward to. There is nothing better than a great big family around the table--laughing and making memories. I am tired--and I am busy, but I have really got it made.
