Thankful Thursday!!




This week I am thankful for-

Sisters- There is something that bonds sisterhood, whether it be your own sister or
a friend..

My Husband- Cold is coming- his job is starting to slow down, which in turn means I
get my husband back sooooon. He was home all day today, helped out
with sick kids, bathed, and dressed the boys, and even got to feed Kono
cereal tonight. I know at this time in our life we have to sacrifice a
lot of things, but I'd rather eat dirt, than make him work soo much!!!

330 days of the year- Kids have been very sick with headaches and stomach aches.
I am making it a rule in my house from now on, that- everyday,
you must lick each other, so everyone will be sick at the
same time, no more of this 2 weeks of sick, then you know
it will start all over. So I guess I am thank full they have
gotten better.

My membership in my church- I am lucky to be part of such a marvelous thing. How
lucky are we to know that with a bow of heads we can
get our questions answered, our thoughts in order,
and know that we can be together as a family for
eternity.

Excersaucers- Who ever invented these puppies, needs a big kiss. My baby has been
wanting to see the world from a different angle for awhile now, and
has been fussy because of it... yeah!!! A happy baby, is a happy mom.

buses- Let me just start by saying that because we have a big family, and my
has two jobs, one one city away, and the other he is a contractor, ummmm
for the month August through September our gas bill was 1,475 alone..
I couldn't imagine what it would be if I had to drive around 4 different
times. OUCH.. ( PS, I told my husband to buy a moped and drive it to do his
bidding. I just got a dirty look). What just trying to help people, nuttin'
wrong with a big Tongan man, riding a tiny bike now is there? OK maybe just a
little bit..

That's all I got, I am thankful for alot more, but can't keep my eyes open, I'm headed for bed...


Oops, I almost forgot, shoutin' everyone out, OK not everyone,cuz there is a million
giveaways going on, here are some of my favs-

And Wow! That is SOME gas bill! I don't know if you're a coupon shopper, but there is a great website that I go to, www.hotcouponworld.com I save a lot of money by shopping for deals!

Glad the hubby is around more to help out.
Gas prices suck. You should get a moped but you are going to need a giant sidecar for all of the kids too!!!
