Where has November gone????

Today i realized that we are exactly one week away from thanksgiving, It blows my mind and also made me think about what i am thankful for. So i thought i would post it here.

1) I am so thankful to live in America, where we took a positive step towards change by electing the first black president.

2) My family, They are crazy, funny, unique and the glue that holds me together

3) That the recession has not hit me too hard and hopefully it won't

4) That my kids are healthy, smart, funny, beautiful and crazy!!!

5) My husband, he's snarky, dry and more awesome than he knows!!!! and he loves me best of all

6)My smelly dogs, they are the only beings in my house who listen to me or atleast pretend too.

There is so much more that i am thankful for but think that's a good start for today :). What are you thankful for??

Long time no see....

It's been a long time since i have posted and my sister is getting ancy.... Truth is I have been a little out of it. Halloween was a sucess, No tears @ the sleepover except Arienna did get a particulary nasty cut on her leg and didn't tell me until the next morning. She drove me nuts all weekend texting me telling me how much it hurt. The kids got to go to a Mcain-Palin Rally that weekend and Charlie got to shake hands with Palin & the "first dude". Changed his beliefs and decided Mcain should win. BLEAHHH No more republicans for a while please. I was thrilled to vote and even more thrilled to vote for Obama. To see someone of a mixed heritage, diverse background and a want to do good things is powerful. I only hope he suceeds, but i support him.
I got good news this week, I donot have lupus but have a lingering strep infection in my bloodstream so hopefully this round of antibiotics will kill it. Apparently it's pretty strong because the dr seems to think i have had it a while and a round of zpak for a sinus infection didn't kill it. Hopefully the Keflex will. Also my cholesterol has come down and he suggested niacin to boost my good #'s. The kids brought home their report cards today and Charlie got all b's and a C. Arienna got 5 A's and 2 B's. Those kids are so smart and i am certainly proud of them. So that's all the news on my homefront lately, I will be better about posting in the future :)
