Thankful v.2
Tonight, in a much better mood than last night, I am thankful that the kitchen is mostly clean, that everyone ate the pie (which was the bane of my existence this morning), because the food was all ready at the same time (even the turkey that didn’t get into the oven until 12.30 because of the stupid pie), and that there were plenty of leftovers including enough scraps for a turkey pot pie (again with the pie- maybe I’ll buy a frozen crust for this one).
I’m thankful that Sam who was sketched out at first by all the relatives he hasn’t seen in I don’t even know how long warmed up as the night wore on and talked and talked and played. I’m thankful that I had popsicles on hand to soothe his fat lip after he ran face first into a chair. I’m thankful that no one fought (except for my mom and I, but that doesn’t count) and that everyone had a nice, relaxing, stress-free Thanksgiving
I’m especially thankful for the chocolate covered pretzels (mostly dark, my favorite) my mother-in-law who unfortunately had to work sent in her place and I’m thankful I didn’t open them until almost everyone was too full to eat more.
I’m thankful for my husband who helped me slice apples this morning and took Sam all day so I could cook, and for my sister-in-law’s fiancé’s parents who sent me five bags of maternity clothes (is that the lamest pregnancy announcement ever?), and for my sweet little boy who is still a shitty sleeper but he’s my shitty sleeper and I love him all the same.
Thanks for reading and I hope you have plenty to be thankful for too.

For half a millisecond, before I could read the next few words, I wondered if there had been some announcement I missed;> Congratulations!

Pregnant? Yay! Congrats! And no wonder you were wiped out yesterday.
