Thankfully

Since my previous journey into starting a conversation flopped, I am just going to say that I hope everyone had a good Holiday. I would love to hear what each of you is thankful for.

Things I Learned On My Trip
(in pretty much the order I thought of them)

1. Pack an extra change of clothes, just in case.
2. Mexican Blankets are cheaper in the middle of nowhere.
3. Chevy cars don't like the long hills on I40 between Milagro and Moriarty.
4. Moriarty and Mortality sound a lot alike.
5. Things are never so bad as they seem.
6. A layer of snow protects your car from getting ticketed for towing.
7. Daddies never lose their magic to fix stuff.
8. Mom's landlady's niece's sister's husband suddenly counts as family, even if you've never met him before. (sounds more dramatic than my friend's brother-in-law)
9. "Good Holiday" and "Good Trip" are two VERY different things.
10. Dry heat is OK. Dry cold.... not so much.
11. Bedlam is still important. (Go O.U.!)

More details to come. Same Bat-time, same Bat-channel.

I am thankful for:

1. My hubby and all of his irritating habits.
2. All three of my beautiful kids.
3. Being given the opportunity to raise one of God's "special" children.
4. My kids' laughter and smiles.
5. Refrigerators & washing machines.
6. Being a United States citizen.
7. Extended family.
8. My friends, both near and far.
9. My son's therapists (who also fall into the friends category)
10.Modern medicine.

This is just the short list. :-D
