My Banal Thanksgiving Post

In the spirit of Thanksgiving I decided to write about what this, um, sometimes-sane mom is thankful for. Really, the list is never ending, but these are some of the biggies. Just know that these don't all carry the same weight. Of course, I am more thankful for my family than hand sanitizer, but that doesn't mean the stuff shouldn't be acknowledged, especially the Aloe version.

I'm thankful...

...for my family and friends -- close and distant, blood-related and not, in touch and out, human and canine.

...to have food on the table, even if there's actually only one little corner clear enough to fit it.

...that T Junior is healthy, and so are his parents.

...for the person who invented the baby swing in which my precious son takes his naps. Now, if only they would have thought of making it run off of a rechargeable battery...

...for hand sanitizer.

...for frozen dinners. (A special shout-out to Costco for supplying these.)

...that Mr. T and I have good jobs.

...that T Junior slept 10 consecutive hours last night! (I know, crazy, right?)

...that the guy that was just driving too fast on our icy road hit the curb instead of the house behind it.

...that we have a warm place to come home to.

...for disposable diapers. I mean, what did they do before these were invented. I have enough laundry to do! Oh, and they probably didn't have washing machines. I don't even want to think about that.

...for my washing machine.

...that Mr. T and I were able to have a child. What a blessing.
