365 days of 40 #116

Today was Thanksgiving, and it was great to be able to spend time with my kids as well as the rest of my family.  It started off really really because we needed to get baking done, so M got me up really early.  Far earlier than I was expecting or even realized.  It was a blast though. She and I made pumpkin pies and stuffing.  She did a lot of the work and I'm so proud of her.  Then I realized it was only like 11a so I laid down and took a nap.

At my mom's house there was much food, fun and laughs, though there were a few tears.  X and one of the twins sometimes have a hard time getting along so we had to deal with some hurt feelings, but then life was good again.  The end of the day was fun, we went down to tiffs house and watched Dear Dumb Diary, which was the film that both X and M were in earlier this year.  We played spot the kid, and saw both of them. 

So as this day of thanks draws to a close, I'm going to give thanks for my kids who make my life better than I ever thought possible.  The rest of my family,  my sister, her hubby and soon to be kids and my mom are also so important to me.  I have wonderful friends as well.  Despite all of the challenges, my life is really good. 

Happy Thanksgiving!!
