Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving ...
And all through the house ...
umm ... should I keep going with this or just end it there??
the creatures are kind of stirring ... okay that's enough.
Tonight I am hosting my family; they're spending the night and tomorrow we got to my aunt and uncle's for Thanksgiving. Oh, I already have some gives lined up for tomorrow too: I'm giving my grandmother a ride the family Thanksgiving and I'm bringing some pumpkin dessert to contribute to the meal. Anyway, back to my family being here tonight ... that is a give ... I like my space, and all week I share my home with lots of little children (daycare) and I'm starting my weekend tonight and still sharing my space. Hey, I might even give them some blankets to use tonight? Just kidding!
Other gives today:
-helped the kids build a snowman (yes, we got snow last night)
-phone call to my cousin
-welcomed some new members to the site
-support, encouragement, and advice for my brother (struggling with anxiety)
-flexibility with my daycare parents
Gives to myself:
-rest
-got to watch my show tonight
-scanning the ads for great sales : )

Comment by Dawn on November 26, 2009 at 7:13pm - that's what i like best about Thanksgiving - it's such a pure holiday. it's all about family and being aware of the blessings in our lives, without a bunch of materialism mucking things up. hope you find some great deals! Hugs, Dawn
