A Week O’ Thanks: These People

Monday, November 23, 2009 @ 08:11 AM
Jan

The Spin Cycle this week is Giving Thanks.  Jen, the lovely and witty arbiter of all things Spinning, is participating every day this week, which I thought was an excellent idea so I will join her.  At least through Wednesday – after that, I’m taking a brief bloggy vacation.  Soooo…

What I Am Grateful For #1

Teh Troop

These People

The fruit of my loins and the loves of my life, I do not know what I would do without The Young One, Darling Daughter and Oldest Son.  They may not comb their hair, adjust their bra straps or shave, but there is not a day that goes by that I am not grateful and proud that these incredible people call me “Mom.”

Be sweetie, you guys – Mother loves you.
