Openess, Strength, and Faith
I found a website that allows me to draw my cards on line instead of dragging them off of the top of the armoire. I keep them up there because HB loves to play with them and gets them all over the place. Anyway the above are the cards that I picked tonight.
HH and I have finally found some sort of rhythm to our Thanksgiving holiday. This year we did not host and it was incredibly relaxing. We had 3 places to go to, so we split them up. HB and I went to CDad's and then to my hipmama's. HH met us at my mom's and then took HB to his mom's. It worked out so well. It didn't even feel all that busy or hectic. That in itself is something to be thankful for.
My adult brother's best friend is in town from Wyoming and had dinner with us yesterday. Those two get together and they are so funny. My sis, taxdad, and I were laughing so hard. My stomach hurt this morning waking up. Not because I ate so much but because I laughed so much. Great ab workout.
Keep thinking about my baby to be this holiday. Wondering all sorts of things and just being so grateful to know that he will be home someday. I am wondering what he looks like, what he is doing and who he is with, OR if he is even born yet. He is on everyone's minds. My sis was thinking about him this morning too. She has an extra carseat for when she has HB and started thinking that she may have to get an infant seat too. Her kids are 13 and 7 so carseats are pretty much in the past for her. My mom asked me if the baby to be was going to be giving her a Christmas list. Our agency director leaves for Ethiopia in a few days and I hope that she will come back with more footage for a new dvd. I am having baby cravings. Just to see them, even if they aren't mine.
Did some shopping today and it wasn't too crazy. I went to the fabric store and picked up some little things for HB's teachers for Christmas. I also bought myself a new purse. I seem to buy myself quite a bit of stuff while I am shopping for others. The siblings will draw names this year for the first time. That is really going to help cut down on the list.
I got a sitter for tomorrow afternoon and I am going to see Rent. I told HH that even if I go by myself, I am going. I have really been looking forward to it. I think that TLC will end up coming with me, she sounded game this afternoon. I don't really care to see movies. Especially in the theatre. I am just really looking forward to this one though. I hope that I'm not disappointed. Even a matinee is expensive for me.
Happy Thanksgiving!
