Thanksgiving Came Early
Ever felt like making a big dinner all for nothing? That's what I made tonight. I made my DH go earlier this week for a turkey, and I roasted it tonight. I also made homemade mashed taters and gravy. It was soooooooo delicious. I told my DH that I was gonna make myself sick trying to find stuff to eat the gravy with LOL!! It's SOOOOOO Yummy!! I forgot how much I love homemade turkey gravy. We really should have it more than once or twice a year :)
I joined another forum this week, and I was reminded of a thing that Oprah had mentioned on her show a million years ago (Yeah, I am a victim of Oprah... she's not ALL BAD...). She said she keeps a journal of five things that she feels blessed for that happened to her that day. I thought maybe since it was fresh on my mind I would write five things that I am grateful for today.
1. That the turkey turned out good and it wasn't dry. I always worry about that when I roast a turkey.
2. That I lasted the whole day without having to take a nap. Even though it was out of necessity. (I was babysitting and cooking all day) It's getting better. This is 3 days in a row.
3. That the cable company called a few days ago and they are offering the DVR for .60 cheaper than I was getting my normal cable plan. I also got another pay channel for free. It arrived today. Gotta love stuff for free.
4. That my DH likes all of his classes (today was the first day of a couple of classes for him). I am grateful he doesn't have to suffer thru another quarter full of classes he hates to go to.
5. That there are leftovers from tonight's dinner. Some families don't have enough to feed themselves, and I was blessed enough to have leftovers.
6. That my grandma is healthy as she can be and has survived another Bday. Happy Bday, Grandma. You mean the world to me.
okay, so I feel extra blessed I guess... had to fit one more in there ;)
