And now its finished!

Now I can relax. Our dinner went well. I love that you spend days preparing for it and it is gone in minutes. I saw something on facebook the other day that said it takes days to prepare Thanksgiving and only 12 mins to devour it. Halftime of football is also 12 mins....COINCIDENCE...???? I thought that was cute.

I'm just glad that the stress can stop and I can enjoy the rest of my long weekend. But first I wanted to express my thanks because I am very thankful for so many things. I'll only list a few....

• Family (they are the ones that know me best and still love me)
• Internet Friends (they are less judging and going through same stuff as me)
• IRL Friends (there is always a story)
• Infertility Issues (yeah, I'm thankful, only because it has made me stronger)
• Jesus (Even though I lose my faith, I still feel His Comfort)

Thank you all so much for reading my blog, being my friend/support and just plain being you! Have a safe and enjoyable Holiday.

And so it begins.....

I have the chicken boiling to make chicken and dumplings, pecan pies in the oven and the turkey has been injected and placed in the oven bag and put in the fridge ready to cook tomorrow.

I am waking up at 3:00 a.m. to put the turkey in the oven so it will be done by 8:30. I will then make corn casserole, green bean casserole and sweet potato casserole. While they are baking I will finish up the chicken and dumpling and make the stuffing on the stove. Did I mention that I don't really like any of this except the chicken and dumplings? Where I am from, we did mashed potatoes and gravy, corn, ham, turkey, yams, and a veggie tray.... I really want potatoes and gravy, but I don't want to cook anymore.

Anyway, I will be busy tomorrow but will try and post tomorrow evening....

I HOPE EVERYONE HAS A HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

5 days

As of 3 hrs ago, I get 5 days with my children and DH. That is what I am THANKFUL for! It isn't very often that we are all off at the same time. Right now I am not working, but usually my DH doesn't get the same days or all of the same days off and this time he does... Tomorrow we are all going to do a thorough clean up of the house in lieu of our expected guests. Then I am going to make the pies tomorrow so that it will be one less thing that I have to do on Thursday...

Family Pics

So, I have been married to my DH for almost 2 years and we don't have a single picture together or as a family. I have gotten Alex and Breyna's pics done every year but not one as a family..... So Saturday, it was overdue.... Here they are.

All is well...

I was able to fix my computer all by myself and not have to shell out a dime for it!!!!!!!!!!! I'm kind of proud of myself for being able to do it after getting so frustrated and negative.

On a more positive note, we went and got family pics done today, I will post them in the near future...

SOOOOO HARD

I am trying so hard to stay positive and not negative...so here is today's post...

Thank you to the wonderful people who put an app on F.ace.boo.k called "Fam.ily Li.nk". They were so nice when I tried to access the app, they gave my laptop a worm... A VIRUS... Trojan worm virus thing. I am so grateful that I am not working currently so that I could spend the last 15 hrs trying to remove this from my laptop and I'm even more grateful that it is taking up more of my time....

I have now got to experience 3 different virus scan makers, and even though they found the virus, they claim that the virus is being blocked. I am pleased to tell you, it isn't blocked and my computer is testing my patience today. I love not being able to see any icons on my desktop, it looks so clean. I love all the fake virus scan pop-ups that the virus causes.

Oh, screw this... I HATE MY COMPUTER, I HATE VIRUSES, I HATE FACEBOOK and I'm thoroughly sick and tired of spending so much DAMN time on my computer trying to fix it. FYI, if your computer pops up a box that mimics Wind.ows defe.nder and tells you that you have something attacking your computer......use your own software because it probably really isn't the real Windows. YeAh YeAh, my fault for being stupid, but in my defense, it looked real....just like my Win.dows Defe.nder...

AbSoLuTeLy NoThInG

I'm about to jinx myself if I don't knock on wood, but....... NOTHING bad has happened to me today. My hubby is in HVAC work and he actually worked close enough to the house to come home for lunch, positive #1. Then, my little girl got her school pics back, not sure why my son didn't since they go to same school but maybe his will come home tomorrow. Then we had a very yummy dinner at a little cafe that we had never been in. We then came home and did our nightly ritual, played Monopoly. It was fun and it was a good day.

I'm trying to look at all positives, no negative. My mom is always telling me about "The Secret". Which is basically a concept of thinking positive to bring positive and the more pessimistic you are, the worse things turn out. I have always been a believer of this. For many years I could find the good in anything and over the past 2 years I have been slowly turning into a pessimistic. It is time for me to take back control of my feelings. Afterall, one of my fave quotes is something like, its not what you are dealt, but how you deal with what you receive. That is what I'm going to start working harder at.
