who was that?

okay so, I'm not sure who that negative chick who posted last was. Man was she a bummer! ANyways, I was reading my poor me post, and I decided that it was all in the perspective. I should have said- I am thankful to have eyes to need contacts for, I am thankful to have friends to go visit (even though I didn't make it), I am soo thankful for visiting teachers (who offered by the way to go get me contacts). I am so thankful to have 3 beautiful, healthy, active children who make me laugh everyday and still need me and want me around. I am thankful for that super yummy bread (hopefully Candice will make me more), and I am thankful for the change in weather, because it has brought with it cool, crisp air just in time for Thanksgiving. SO that is what I should have said. I love the song "Count your Blessings" it really puts things in perspective. So the gloom and doom is officially over- I just need to remember to look for the silver lining. And keep my diet coke supply well stocked! Just kidding it was not the diet coke.

On a different note, I am super excited for Thanksgiving. SOme of my family got here last night and I love to see them. I know that other people are not so lucky- but I love my brothers and sister, and have so much fun hanging out with them. And, again lucky, the people that they chose to marry are great and I love hanging out with them too. Seriously! And I am really looking forward to tomorrow, because we will start cooking and baking and then it will really feel like Thanksgiving. It's so weird not to be traveling somewhere for Thanksgiving- we have never lived here before. But it should be fun. okay enough of my late (well kinda late) night rambling. I'm off to bed, and that really negative alter ego won't be showing her face again any time soon- I have too much good stuff in my life to feel sorry for myself.
