• Best & Worst

  Thanksgiving this year all and all was great. I can't recall a Thanksgiving spent with SO many family members, well my side of the family that is. I carry on all of the time about how spending time with my family is the best thing ever. And to me, it is! We went to Wheeler, my Auntie M and her family came from Georgia & Virginia, and my Mom and Dad went too. Cody, my brother, and Katie weren't able to come because of work obligations. I can't tell you how badly I missed them. But still, it was probably one of the best Thanksgivings I can remember. I loved being in my cousin Tammy's huge kitchen and having my precious Mamaw and precious great Aunts sitting at a table over seeing the action. While, a bunch of women moved around the room getting dinner ready. It was pretty wonderful to say the least. I'm so in love with my family, all of the them, individually and as a whole. This cancer thing has put a different spin on how we all act, though. We hurt. I think at different points most everyone had to take a moment away to compose themself. I can recall happier, easier Thanksgivings but this one has been my favorite. It was the best and the worst Thanksgiving if that makes any sense at all.

  Pretty much anytime I get a moment alone, I'm consumed with thoughts of my Aunt. I've been pleading with God. I beg of Him to please, please, PLEASE heal my Aunt. PLEASE, God. I was telling Wesley that I really believe she can beat this cancer, I really do. He replied "Yep, she's going to." He is the best of husbands and I love him so much. When my cousin Matt was sick with cancer, I was adamant that he would be fine. I told my ex-husband that and he looked at me and coldly said "He.is.going.to.die." I should have divorced him that day, that very day. He was the worst.

  I'm so thankful for my precious husband and our precious children. Some things about the kids I've been meaning to log:

  I was checking out at a local department store and Caden helped himself to a cologne tester. I commented on how he smelled in the car. He said "Now I'm going to smell like a clone all day long, just like my Daddy."

  Mattie saw a limousine Hummer and said "Wook! A choo-choo car!" How great is that?

  When Mattie sees anything Christmas she says "Tis-mas, Ho Ho Ho!"

  Caden wants a gas quad and a 4-seater RZR for Christmas. I'm afraid Santa Clause is going to disappoint him this year. However, I think I've gathered enough stuff that it will be O.K.

  I better jet. Love to all!
