My Thanksgiving Thoughts . . .

So, I am supposed to be at work right now. My family and in-laws are camping right now. I left the campsite a few hours early so that I could see my parents (who just got home from Israel yesterday) and other family members still here in St. George before I had to go into work. As I was eating my re-heated thanksgiving meal (yes, I crashed the party) my work called to let me know I was on-call and probably wouldn't need me to come in. So, here I am, alone in my quiet house, dwelling on the people and things that I am thankful for. I thought that this would be a good time to write these things down. I know this may be a bit cheesy, but I don't ever do this ever and I think it is important. I am thankful for . . .

• My Husband - hard working, dedicated, strong, stress basket, clean freak, loving, and smart
• My children - sweet, loving, naughty, disobedient, snugly, creative, smart, whiny, hungry, sneaky, happy, "angy", energetic, and sassy (usually all in one day). I love them and they are MINE!
• My best of friends (most who live 300 miles away)
• My family - sisters/sister-in-law (don't know what I would do without them!), brother/brothers-in-law, sweet little nieces and nephews (especially little Toby John Perriton born 2 days ago!), My Parents!!!, my in-laws . . . these people make me who I am.
• Phenergan - thank you, thank you, thank you!
• Signature suppers - we finally have dinner again!
• warmth - I absolutely hate being cold!
• toothbrush and toothpaste - it's the best feeling in the world to brush my teeth first thing in the morning!
• My baby in utero
• Treats!
• TV and especially DVR
• Books
• FREE TIME
• Naps
• long hot showers
• My blankie and body pillow
• My cell phone
• Laughter
• The church and my faith in Jesus Christ

Obviously that are more things that I am thankful for, but these are the few things that are on my mind and in my heart today, this Thanksgiving Day. I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day.
