Thankful Thursday

• Being well again! I'm finally feeling normal again - YAY! I spent all day yesterday getting the house back in order (8 loads of laundry, 2 loads in the dishwasher and lots of picking up) and was so pleased I finally had the energy to actually do it.


• I'm finished with Christmas gifts! I laid on the couch on Sunday with the laptop and finished out the rest of my shopping. Sweet!


• Hudson has yet to get "the ick" and hopefully has somehow escaped it's grasp!


• My boys. On a side note, I have a little story about something Reed did today that I know some of you will enjoy. We were over at Gammy & DadDad's house visiting with one of Brian's cousins and her baby (who, by the way, is the fastest walking 9 month old I have ever seen). To make a VERY long story short, Reed wanted more candy and hadn't eaten enough "good" food. I told him no and he argued with me. I said no again and he argued with me. I looked at him and said "Reed - listen to me!" and the child put his hands over his ears! I can hear a collective laugh from you people, and I'm glad you can enjoy it. I'm not there yet. Ilooked at that kid and I was livid. Earlier Hudson had fallen asleep in my arms and it's a good thing because if I had free hands at that very moment, I might have pinched Reed's head off. Mike took Hudson from me and I gave Reed a spanking and time out in the bathroom. He hates the bathroom when he's in trouble..it's "boring" and there's "nothing to do in there". Well, except unroll the toilet paper in a big pile on the floor and that has certainly happened in the past. So, after that story, you may be asking "Why am I thankful?" He may be a mess, he may be a smartmouth, but he's my kid and I love him to pieces.
  
• My last thing I am thankful for this week? "Boring" bathrooms. :)
