3 days til Thanksgiving

Wow! I remembered to say what I am thankful for today........I am thankful for my job. I am an Assistant Coordinator at a group home for people with developmental disabilities. I have been there 11 years and dont forsee myself leaving anytime soon. I am also pretty sure I have job security there, as the clients I serve aren't all of sudden going to not need assistance any more! Have a great day!

OOPS!!

It was brought to my attention that I didnt say what I was thankful for yesterday, so I will say 2 today. 1) I am thankful for my stepkids. As much as they can be a pain in the butt sometimes, I love them like they are my own and wish for only the best for them! 2) I am thankful for my well-behaved pooch Sassy. She is a 2 year old 60 pound yellow lab that thinks she is a lap dog. She can be left at home for hours at a time and be waiting for us at the front door when we come home! THE CUTEST DOG EVER!! This isn't the best pic of her, but I couldnt find the others. They were riding in the back of my SUV on the way back from the beach! The black lab is Roxy. She was hit by a truck in July and didnt make it :( It has been a blessing in disguise though, because she was VERY HYPER and the two of them together caused trouble! WE MISS HER DEARLY! Anyway, I have kind of gotten off subject. HAPPY SUNDAY!

HOT LUMPY FUN

Well, one week until Thanksgiving! YEAH!! I am so excited because this is the first year we are having Thanksgiving at our house! And, my first year making a turkey! I have had lots of pointers on how to and how not to cook the turkey. I am not looking forward to gutting it out! THAT GROSSES ME OUT!!! I don't even like to cut raw chicken! I will leave that to my darling husband or my mom! I love having a small family...we will only have 6-9 people here, which is just perfect. We will make food, eat food, and play games! SO MUCH FUN!! Hope everyone has a good Thanksgiving. Every day until Thanksgiving I am going to say one thing I am thankful for. Today, I am thankful for an understanding husband that puts up with my moodiness! I LOVE YOU!!

*BTW, the title has nothing to do with this blog. We were playing Apples to Apples with the kids yesterday, and the cards my husband won were "hot" "lumpy" and "fun"*

Happy Halloween

The fall...my favorite time of the year. Mostly because of Halloween! My favorite Holiday of the year! I love decorating for Halloween. Each year after Halloween I buy more goodies to decorate with! I host the annual Halloween Bash, as Jormengrund told all of you (but it went a little differently then he stated mind you). I love helping the kids pick out costumes and taking them trick or treating! Today, we are taking the oldest to a church overnighter. Then off to dinner with the two younger kids. It will be their choice where to go, but I am sure they will pick McDonalds! Yum, Yum! Then we have to make the rounds to all of the relatives and friends. Then off to my newly found brother's house to go door to door with my nieces! (I will talk more about that family another day!) So, it is going to be a late night, and a hyper couple of weeks, as the kids will be hounding me every day for some of their candy. That is if Dad doesnt get to it all first!! HAPPY HALLOWEEN and BE SAFE!!
