I'm sitting here watching "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving" with my child, wondering when the word "Stupid" was okay to use on a kids' cartoon show!
I remember watching Charlie Brown every Halloween waiting for the Great Pumpkin, and at Christmas, too, but I don't remember my mom sitting behind me reminding me that "we don't say that word" very often during one of their shows. But, here I sit, listening to words that I would rather my two-year old son not copy from the television show. What now? Am I only going to let him watch Little Einsteins and Wonder Pets forever and ever? I just don't know about this.
Today was an exciting day, though! We got our back sliding glass door replaced today, and it only took the guys six hours instead of about four. Our door was pretty hard to fit apparently. They kept trimming more and more off the frame, and taking more and more off the original hole in the wall to make the new door fit. Argh. But, six hours later, it is all done, and I am so excited to be able to see out my back door again!
What a great way to start off my break! I really needed a good thing to happen this week. Maybe tomorrow something good will happen, too!

Stress, Stress, and More Stress
To take the title from the pastor's sermon at church this morning, this could completely describe my life right now.
Thank God for the week-long vacation that we have been given this week for Thanksgiving. I am super excited that Micheal and I get to go home to my parents' house for a great meal and some quality time with family. I love this time of year! Not the fact that we eat way too much, but the time that we get to take off of work and share that time with each other. And right now, that's exactly what I need. A way to get away from my every day life and enjoy some time with my family. I just wish that my husband didn't have to work and could come with us, but that's the joys of having the job he has, no rest for the weary! :)
Here's to hoping that your week is just as restful and enjoyable, and that you take a little time to be thankful for the things you have and the people around you.
Happy Thanksgiving!

No joke...
On my way home tonight, I drove by a house with Christmas lights up around the edge of the roof and twinkling... along with a twinkling Christmas tree in the window. Is it time for that already?
I know that the stores already put out Christmas stuff even before Halloween was here, but that's going a little far for me.
We turn ours on about a week after Thanksgiving, whenever we can get a day off together to get outside.
What about you? Are you an early bird? Or do you just leave them up all year long and turn them on in December?

Frustrations
I have tried twice to put up the pictures from our picture-taking visit to the Pumpkin Patch this year. I hate dial-up.
Micheal starting coughing about two weeks ago, and after a couple different tries of medicines recommended by a call to the doctor's office, I think we're just going to have to wait the time it takes to sit in the office and get some real medicine.
I started having some congestion Wednesday night, and ended up losing my voice. Even though I shouldn't have, I went to school on Thursday, feeling crummy, but Friday was better, and I could talk better. I guess I shouldn't have done that, either, because today was worse than the two days combined. I have only a whisper left, and the coughing won't stop for me, either. And is there any medicine in the house? Of course not! Because when someone else is sick, it gets used without replacement, or even getting put on the list. I usually try to keep a little bit of everything we usually use on hand, becuase no one wants to have to make a late night run to Walmart for a medicine.
Then today, Micheal started running a fever, and at 5 announced that he needed to go to his bed and lay down. I tried to talk him out of it, but he did it anyway. And he's been out ever since. We'll see if we wake up really early because of it.
Yesterday I found out that a girl that I went to junior high with died on Wednesday. I know that sounds random, but she lived here in the same town that I do, even though I hadn't talked to her in over three years. Her best friend was also a friend of mine from junior high, and she also went to school here, followed by her younger brother, who happens to need some help with his College Algebra. And guess whose name his professor gave him for a tutor? Me! Strange world, huh?
