Whacked Out Week

So my brilliant plan to post on a daily basis is not so brilliant. I just have not had time-ok I lied-I had time over Thanksgiving but spent so much time doing nothing I had no time to blog other than to snoop around on all of your's! I really had good intentions to post my brilliant journal type posts but not it's just not happening so this is the week or 2 in recap.
We will just rewind to Thankful Thursday last week because of Thanksgiving.
I have so many things to be grateful for that this could be a very long list but so as not to bore anyone I will contain myself to 10 things that I am thankful for.

1. My great husband who bends over backwards to help me to be happy.
2. My kids-I'm pretty sure that I did not request all these boys but I lost the receipt and there is no return policy so I guess I will have to keep them.
3. Medicine, doctors, hospitals-see previous posting about Cayden's fight with a PVC pipe and at this very moment medicine is extremely appreciated because my husband is gone Cayden is sick AGAIN!
4. Don's job-with so many people losing their jobs I am so thankful that Don can provide for us.
5. Help-I am thankful for so many people who help me out on a daily basis-Don's parents, Dena, Joan, and Vicki
6. All those friends who help and support me and our family.
7. The Gospel of Jesus Christ-sometimes it's the only thing that gets me through the day.
8. My bed-I love my bed and my really old green gingham blanket.
9. Being a domestic engineer. I am so glad that I can be home for my kids especially because Don has to travel.
10. My extended family-I love all you cotton headed ninny muggins!


Memory Monday
My memory for this week is from Thanksgiving what else! I don't remember alot of Turkey Days when I was younger other than a few times that we went to my dad's sister's house, Aunt Liz. She lived in Salt Lake and I just remember that it was hard to go there because I was alwys a litle afraid of her husband. I do remember one Thanksgivng we went there and while the food was being prepared upstairs I went downstairs and I think some of my cousins were watching Man From Snowy River. I don't remember the food or anything else just Man from Snowy River. I do remember that there was a distinct difference in the cooking of my 2 grandma's. Mawmaw's was definitely southern style with chicken dressing and dumplings (mm mm good) and Grandma Gessel always had apple, raisin, carrot salad and cucmbers in vinegar-did not really like either of those items.

Too tired to post pics or continue this post-maybe tomorrow.
