Thankful A to Z: "RSTUVWXYZ" !!!

7:49 PM Posted In 1 Comment »
Lets wrap this up being that it is now DECEMBER. Whoa.



Resources- I am so grateful for all who have paved the way before me and who have made it possible for my daughter to have the life she will have. So many have fought to get to where we are today in regards to special needs. We have so many resources available for Gabby that will ensure that she lives up to her maximum potential. Even twenty years ago, this wasn't the case. We are so lucky.



Sleep- Anyone that knows me knows that I am a girl that loves her sleep. When I was younger I could easily sleep until noon every single day. Don't worry though- on the weekends my dad would never let that happen ;) Today, I am lucky if I get to sleep in until 8:30am. One day I'll be able to sleep in again, right?



Teachers- I used to think I wanted to be a teacher someday but I know now that I would never have the patience for such an occupation. I know many teachers...some that taught me, some that teach Cameron, Gabby's therapists, friends down the street, and family members far away. They are all remarkable people with one of the MOST important jobs in the world. I am SO thankful to all of you for doing what you do.

Unicorns??? Yeah, that sounds good.

Vicki- my momma :)

Wendy's chocolate frostys. Have you had one lately?

X- Okay...should I just go ahead and say "x-rays?" Don't laugh. Why don't you try coming up with a word that starts with "X." That's what I thought. So yeah...I'm really thankful for x-rays. Gabby has had quite a few in her short life and they have always showed positive results...no pneumonia, no broken bones, no hip displaysia, and perfectly healed breastbones thanks to the metal wires holding them together!

Yellow. It's just a really nice color.

Z- Okay so this is a little repetitive of "S" but oh well. I am ever so thankful that my husband is the first one to wake up and let's me get my Zzzz's. They are crucial to my sanity!

Questions.... Without questions we would never have any answers to anything. I can always recall being so scared to question my parents growing up, but as I grew older I realized that it was okay to do so as long as your intentions were good. I hope Cameron and Gabby grow up asking lots and lots of QUESTIONS.


Thankful A to Z: "P"

Personalities... I often think about how everyone is quirky in their own little way and how it makes each person just so unique. I am often reminded of different personalities when I'm playing with both my kids. Cameron is so dramatic and demanding when he wants something while Gabby will sit there with the puppy eyes and guilt you into submission. I love their personalities!

Open Arms... I am thankful for the open arms that are waiting for me from family and friends when I need them. Sometimes a great big hug solves all the world's problems.

Happy Thanksgiving!

There are SO many things to be thankful for this year...I couldn't possibly list them all. Most of all, I am thankful for my family, friends, and health. I hope this Thanksgiving finds you well. I wish I could say everyone in my house was feeling happy, healthy and hungry but that would be a lie. Gabby and Nguyen have been hit by the H1N1 bug but are fighting their way through it. Nguyen is almost 100% while Gabby is still feeling under the weather. Luckily, we got a prescription for Tamiflu so she is on her way back to good health. I am so thankful for modern medicine!

We had to cancel plans with my mom today since we don't want her to get the nasty germs...so bummed. So, while it isn't the most fun Thanksgiving we've ever had, we're still going to have a good time, spend time with eachother, watch the parade, hang some Christmas lights, and FEAST. We are thankful, indeed.

I'll leave you with some pictures of my two sick babies. These were taken two days ago so don't worry....they look a lot better today, haha!

10/16 On the way home from the Harvest Festival I hear Cameron shout "eeeew!" I asked him what was wrong and he said "oh nevermind...I thought I had something slimy on my jeans...on my APPLE BOTTOM jeans."




10/18 Cameron discovered a small air freshner disc in the cup holder of my car, about the size of a nickel. He asked me what it was and I told him it was an "air freshner." Next thing I know, he is sticking it in his ear. I quickly realized my mistake in not pronouncing my words more clearly. He thought I said "EAR freshner."




10/30 After watching Cameron jump around the living room, it was apparent he needed to use the restroom. He tends to hold it for as long as possible and HATES to sit in the bathroom alone. I asked him to come along with me to the bathroom as I had to go too (been drinking LOTS of water lately-yay me!) and he agreed. I went first and flushed when I was finished. I said, "okay Cameron- your turn!" He walked in and took a big whiff and said "ahh...I like the smell of your pee, mom...it smells like cereal!" (I know that's gross but it was funny!) so then he proceeds to go potty himself and as he is doing his business says "let's see how mine smells!" (meanwhile, I am laughing so hard, I'm crying.) He finishes and says "yep. Mine smells like cereal also. Why don't you take a whiff?!" I couldn't stop laughing. As he watched me in hysterics, he said "that's obnoxious."
11/22 While I was cooking dinner Cameron sat at the counter and played as he watched me. He says to me, "Mom, are you attracted to police officers?" I just stared at him in disbelief. I still haven't figured out where he learned the word "attracted" or how he knew to use it in that context.


11/23 Cameron and Nguyen were watching TV and Cameron, out of nowhere, looks at Nguyen and asks, "Dad, to we have chicken meat inside of us?"


Thankful A to Z: "N"

Tonight ESPECIALLY I am thankful for NGUYEN who is sitting upright in our living room with a feverish, snotty, pukey baby on his chest. The snot and the fever I can handle...the yonks- not so much! Thank you Nguyen from saving me from my worst fear ever!! Poor Gabby...and daddy!
