You know you're boring when...

The last posts on your facebook page have been about working out and the KU Jayhawks! I haven't had much else going on in my life other than a sick kid so I haven't had much to get excited for. I have been at home almost all week. Luckily yesterday he was feeling better (still not great) and we at least got to go to my sister in laws house for a delicious Thanksgiving meal where we got to spend time with family. And tonight we are headed back over there to watch the Jayhawks whoop up on Tennessee Tech. And I even went home and smashed it up with Jillian. On THanksgiving. I am very satisfied with the results I am already seeing. So I guess i can't quit now! Day 8 out!

Spin Cycle...the week of thanks

So this year I am actually trying to teach Leo that Thanksgiving is here so we can show our thanks for each other and the things around us. I told him that I was thankful for him, for daddy, for all of our family, for our food, etc. etc. But when I asked him what he was thankful for I got an answer I never expected...but fully should have. He at first told me he didn't know but then screamed CANDY! It was so funny. Kids make you think more about what you are thankful for than you probably thought you could. But here are a few things I am thankful for. Some shallow and some from the heart.

• I am thankful for my family. They are more help for my mental well-being than anyone else. My mom is my best friend so without her I would be a mess! My hubby keeps me sane by all his funny comments and just laughter is a constant. I am thankful for my monkey because he makes everything worthwhile!
• I am thankful for our DVD players! The portable one of course because it makes trips to the doctor so much more bearable.
• I am thankful for our roof over our head and the food inside. I know there are so many people out there now that are not able to afford such luxuries so even if I complain about wanting a bigger house or more bathrooms I am thankful I am able to provide for my family.
• I am thankful for cheese dip and pumpkin pie. NOt together but they do sound delicious right about now!
• I'm thankful for modern medicine because without it the monkey could be really sick, but instead we are able to keep a breathing machine in our house for his little flare-ups.

Those are just a few things I am thankful for. I hope everyone has a happy and safe Thanksgiving!

How does a kid on antibiotics get a fever and start throwing up. And no it was not the first day of the medicine we are on day 7. Also, this year had been really good with the lack of illnesses that the monkey had gotten. A few snotty noses here and there but the last 2 months he has had the stomach bug twice and a sinus infection which flared up his asthma. Lame.

I work at a bank inside a grocery store and they have started playing their Christmas music. It's not terribly bad because at least they are mixing it in with their other music. I don't know how I'm going to be able to handle Christmas music all day starting after Thanksgiving.

I am ready for Thanksgiving. The food, the family, the football. Ahhh yes...the 3 F's. And they are all words that can be repeated! The thing I am not looking forward to...the day after Thanksgiving. Cranky people from here until Christmas.

Also, Black Friday...you are stupid. Just wanted to throw that out there. I used to work at the mall (which I loved except for the holidays) and we didn't open until 7 on Black Friday. My sister-in-law works there now and they open at 5. OMG!

I am rocking out to some Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred. I am on day 6 and I have done it every day. I really appreciate all the support from my friends irl and in the bloggy universe! I hope to see results! And if I don't see results at least maintain currently through the holidays!
