June 19, 2010

It's Fathers day weekend so my first thankfuls are to the wonderful men in my life:

I am thankful for:

My Dad- Daddy I know things were not always perfect when I was younger, and I know I was a handful. I'm so thankful that out of all the guys out there that you are *my* dad. I will always remember the Wednesday nights Mom would go play bingo; and you would get Pete and I a pizza and stay up late (even though it was a school night). I will remember licking the salt off of you margarita glasses and acting like I had no idea what happened!

My Grandfather - You passed away, but I still think of you every day. I am thankful for the time I spent with you. I will always remember getting you Father's day card with scratch off tickets! I will also always remember the Willie Nelson concert and driving down the road (slowly LOL) with Randy Travis on the radio. I miss you, and I hope you know how much I love you.

My GrandDonald - You've passed on too; I understand everyone does; but that doesn't make it any easier. I am thankful that you raised my Dad; that you were a great Graddad to me and Pet; and that you were such a great Great GrandDad to Kate. I am thankful for the cookies, the laughing and the nights watching Golden Girls, Murder She Wrote and Empty Nest.

My Husband Frank - I am thankful that I have such a great husband. You take care of me when I'm sick, cook dinner, clean the house, and are a wonderful Father to Kate. I could not ask for a better partner. You want to get your comic published and having to take care of me really puts that on the back burner. I'm sorry for that, but I know that no man could ever be the man you are. And I am so thankful that I found you.

My Father-in law - I'm not sure how I managed to luck out in the in law department but I got some great ones! I am thankful for you; because you raised Frank to be a great man, because you pretend to be a horn on Christmas morning, and because you are an amazing Grandfather to Kate.

I am thankful for:
Pete, my brother.
Jess, my best friend
Chris, Damon and the Simms clan--you all are amazing people.
Kate, my beautiful daughter.
My parents and Franks parents
the chirping birds, inside and out.
The online CF support groups that help me deal
Angie and Eric
Face book, for making it so easy to keep in touch with the people I care about.

Long time!

Well, it's been a while but life got crazy there for a bit. My Grandmother passed away at the end of April and a lot of my time before then and after has been me dealing with it. So It has been a while so let me start by saying that my daughters birthday is at the end of the month, and I can't believe how big she is! It really does seem like yesterday when I was helping her tie her shoes!

I am thankful for so much, and this past month I had to struggle to remember them all...

Easter

So I am not posting this on Easter, but rather really early in the AM on the next day! Easter was a pretty busy day as we were cooking dinner here for my brother and father. All went well, although a few times I was told to relax and stop fretting over every little detail!

So I am happy for: (In no particular order)
*Warm Weather

*Kate and her wit

*Frank and his ability to cook such great food!

*My Family (my brother, mother, father, grandmother) we sat around today and talked about when my father was a boy...it was nice!

*Wasp killer

*Wasp traps

*Ginger ale (my new favorite drink)

*Yellow flowers (my favorite but I think all flowers are awesome gifts)

*The Simms household (Chris, Damon, Katherine, Alexander and Devin) They were over Saturday and took over the whole day! We all had a blast!

*Babies

*Fluffy white clouds

*Chocolate cake

*Old Photo's

January 28, 2010

This is my first post! Like I mentioned at the top of this page this blog will be a gratitude journal for me and hopefully others who read and want to post something they are thankful for. I had this idea the other night, and thought it could really be helpful for me. Sometimes we all have a hard time thinking of "The bright side"...

Today I am thankful for:

*Kate- My beautiful daughter. Her smile and laugh and wit; remind me constantly that this world is full of things to be thankful for.

*Frank- My awesome husband. His strength in times when I am sick, always gives me hope.

*Little Fox and Snoop- My dogs. They are just awesome.

*My support system- This includes my family and friends; on line and in person where ever they are. From kindergarten until today, they have helped to shape me...and kept me laughing!
