i know i am a little late but i promised to post the 5 things i am thankful for so here it goes.

• even though the irritate the hell out of me at times my family, seeing how horrible others can be i guess i am very lucky, and maybe just a little loved.
• that my children and husband are happy and healthy, with all of the things that have been going on with Jared's classmate and all the kids in Jimmy's graduation class that were hurt that weekend it made me realize we have been sooo blessed.
• my friends i know what a difficult person i am at times, so you really have to like me to stick around, it think i have some of the greatest friends, and would not trade them for the world.
• James & Alecia, they are the very best, they have done so much for all of us and some times i feel as though they are very under appreciated, Melissa has thrived being there in Colorado with them, i never in a million years could not have cared for her the way they have, they love the boys ( this includes James) and myself unconditionally and never ask why. i could go on and on but i won't. i am very thankful they are who they are.
• when i have to wash clothes,cook dinner,clean house,take kids to school early/late or to practice,yell at James for what ever little thing he or one of the boys has done/not done , and all the other little things that i hate to do in and around my home. because that means i have all of those things and someone to do them for. corny but true. of course i will not EVER admit this again.
