30 Days of Thanksgiving - *Day 23*

Today I am thankful for usable water.  Yesterday, we did not water for drinking , cooking with or cleaning from the moment we woke up until about 8pm last night.  We had a lot of rain the day before, so our well flooded.  It was amazing how it effects your life.  We could use the bathroom, but there were no showers.  I had to buy water to make soup last night.  Dished piled up in the sink and the laundry in the hamper.   It caused me a lot of extra work today.  So, the next time you can turn on the faucet and take a drink, just remember this.

Sorry for the missing days, but we were out of town for Thanskgiving.  I am thankful today for my vacuum cleaner.  It makes my whole house feel so much cleaner in just a few minutes.

30 Days of Thanksgiving - *Day 21*

Today, I am thankful for my car.  It is not fancy at all, but it gets me around places without me worrying it is going to break down.  A lot of people are not fortunate enough to have a car like that.  It allows me to take my kids places to learn and to have fun and to meet other people.  My life would be so different without my car.

Today,I am glad for family.  We will be traveling other the next few days to visit my family and Matt's family.  They are there for us even when they don't particularly agree with us.

30 Days of Thanksgiving - *Day 18*

Today, I am very thankful that I have three healthy, beautiful kids that were born full term.  There are too many kids out there who are sick or born way too early.  I can't imagine what their parents handle it.  I hate when my kids get a cold.

30 Days of Thanksgiving - *Day 17*

I am thankful for the physical strength that I am blessed to have.  I decided at the last minute to run a 5K this morning and my oldest son joined me.  I did not come close to placing at all and my son beat my time by 6 minutes, but I was able to do it and have my best time.  Some day, running will be easy for me, but right now I am grateful that I can do it.

30 Days of Thanksgiving - *Day 16*

I am thankful for my kids school today.  They care about and celebrate my kids so much.  They are pushed, but not to hard.  The teachers there as a whole listen to what parents say and invite them to help out.  The school secretary even knows my name even though the school is Prek-8.  I am very lucky that my kids go to such an awesome school.
