HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

As like a lot of people like to do on Thanksgiving I wanted to talk about some things I am thankful for this year.
I am thankful for screaming babies at 3am, poopy diapers that not only fill the diaper but go all the way up the back and all the way down the leg (if you've every changed one of my boys diapers you know yesit is possiable), I am thanjful for a screaming baby everytime I put him down, and of course a baby that desides he wants his bottle an hour early when I am stuck in traffic and am 20min away from home (which is eternity a screaming baby).
Why you ask would you choose those things to be thankful for? Monday I was feeling miserable as I was up a total of 3 hours the night before with a teething baby and feeling a little hormonal as us women do sometimes ;). I took Michael to his P.T. appt (he has a minor neck condition and should grow out of it by about his 1st birthday) and as I am sitting there talking to this lady that is telling me how beautiful he is and I started to cry a little this women was there with her son who was probebly about 7 yrs old and she was talking with his physical therapist about how excited she is because they got him to blink in response to her and her husband. This little boy will never walk, never talk, eat, or do anything on his own and this women is so happy! How dare I be upset about a few missed hours sleep in comparison to what she goes through on a daily basis, and what she wont get to go through (like the first bump on the head from his first fall from walking).
In short this women was my angel for this Holiday season so I ask we all think of those who are worse off then us and remember them. I know it seems like with jobs lost and markets the way they are it seems hard to do, but I know I have my family a great husband who take care of me and loves his son to the core, and food on the table in front of me. What more could I ask for??
Happy Thanksgiving everyone I love you all have a wonderful day eating with our families (yes even if they are crazy and drama filled we will tke um'). ----Lisa
