Thanksgiving Day - 34 weeks
Well here we are. I have been very behind on my blogging as I have been super busy at work!
Between work, keeping up with the kid's school, Birthdays and Holidays...EEK! No wonder I don't have time to blog.
So, this morning Ben and I have been up early ... both manned with our laptops, sipping our coffee. Enjoying the fact that the kids are still sleeping and it will be a few more hours until we have to start preparing the bird.
One turkey, some good ol' southern cornbread stuffing...snow on the ground and we are good to go! SNOW I say??? Yes, snow. We are not in Texas any more Toto! We had a blizzard come in yesterday, and now we are going to enjoy our Thanksgiving in

9°F temperature!
It makes sense that today (a day don't have to work) is the day I have time to blog, however I hate the fact that it landed on Thanksgiving. I feel that I have kept a heart overflowing with thankfulness, joy and sheer aww... So you understand my desire to steer clear of the cliché of "Thanksgiving".
SIDE NOTE - Ben and I were talking about "in-law" issues, not ours but other peoples. He said a guy at work had "mother -in -law" issues. He told that guy he had the best mother - in -law in the world (which he does). Then the conversation moved to people having issues with their own moms, to which he informed me I don't have issues with my mom cause I am just like her! Well since he no more that got the words, "I have the best mother - in - law in the world" out of his mouth...I'm going to take it as a complement and move on.
So as I was saying before about being thankful... I was driving down the road the other day and felt my heart fill with so much appreciation it began to ooze out of my eyes in the form of a salty liquid! I am eternally grateful for my life, my Christian heritage, my family, my husband, my children (both born and unborn). I am so amazed at the God we serve. So intrigued by His attributes, personality, graciousness, diversity and most of all His unconditional LOVE. As much as I feel that I as a mom love in abundance, it doesn't even hold a candle to His love. It just blows my mind when I try and compare my love (finite) to His love (infinite). How can you not be thankful for all that He is.
