i knew i would, pretty sure i said so in my first thankful blog. oh well. i am thankful. thankful for everything. sometimes, i do take things for granted but i know that i am truly blessed. i have a home, food in my fridge all my bills paid for and still on, i am able to do christmas for my children, have a family thanksgiving with wonderful people who i love. i live close to my mom and am able to lean on her often. i have great friends, great neighbors and life in general is awesome. i take it for granted sometimes but i can honestly say that every day at some point i take time to sit and realize what ive got and i am always thankful for it.
today i am thankful for my 'youthful appearance' seriously though. i have often gotten the 'your her mom??/' comment when out with destiny, who is 15 going on 18 anyway so its not that huge of a compliment, i mean i was 16 when i had her, so technically i am too young to have a child her age.
i have brought pizza into promise's class for her birthday when a child said in awe.... that is your MOM??? and lately its happened more with promise as well, who is 12. so technically i am old enough to have her, lol.
today though, today tops the cake. or whatever that saying is. first off, at work. the air filter guy came in i am without makeup i cheated and did my face after getting to work...shhh don't tell my boss. so before make up air filter guy is leaving and he says to me 'you know, your pretty nice to look at.... easy on the eyes' of course he's like....90 but whatever.
then promise had a few friends over after school.... she introduced me to the new one i had not met before, and she says to promise...is that your mom? oh, she looks so young! <>
then... i take bailey and hannah to the store to get toilet paper (which i am thankful i had the cash to purchase) when the man checking us out asks if i am the mom. i tell him i am, and he says i look so young, like i should be the big sister, not the mom... he says maybe its because he's old... pushing 40. ha! so yeah... i had to deflate my head before i could get out of the store!
so today, even though i have missed several days. today i am thankful for looking young ;o)
