Perspective

OK, it's been a while since I checked in, but between homework, housework, football, and Addison I've barely had the time to remember what day it is...lol! Since it's November (hard to believe) I've been updating FB everyday with something I'm thankful for and even though we're only six days in, a lot of things have been put into perspective and I'm not worried about the small things so much these days. From telling everyone who means something to me "I Love You" more often to teaching my kids the true meaning of the upcoming holidays, we've got a lot to be thankful for. I'm tearing up as I write this because I feel like I've done my kids a disservice by putting some of their wants over their needs; don't get me wrong they NEVER go without the things they need but I'm willing to admit that I go overboard when it comes to the things they want more often than not. If I were to ask our oldest what he was thankful for, chances are he'd say something material and for the most I understand that's kids in general but I think we'll head to the soup kitchen or homeless ministry in the near future so he'll have a better understanding of what's really important. My entire life is NOT as serious as I make it seem, we've been having a lot of fun together and my guess is that's what is making time fly by so quickly. B is out of here come 2013 and then we hope to all be out of her by the end of next year :-) With a degree under my belt (in April) it will be time to get back to work and see/do new things. Dreyson is doing better in school and Addison and Rambo are keeping the rest of us busy, lol! With any luck I can get back to regular posts, but in the meantime I hope all is well with friends and family
