Thankful Thursday



We are moving in hyper speed here! It's already Thursday again!
1. Jared
Today is his Birthday. He has reached double digits! I look back at my labor and delivery with Jared and think that it was the closest I ever got to natural childbirth. I was dilated to an 8 and in transition by the time we got to the hospital. After waiting for about 30 minutes for a nurse to come in the room and "check" me (she kept telling me to just relax and they would check to see if I was really in labor or not) and then finding out I was already dilated to an 8 I immediately yelled, "get me an epidural!" Sometimes when I think back on that I wish that I had just done it natural. I really think I could have done it. Although if myself now was to have told myself then that I probably would have punched myself in the face. Huh??
Oh and just in case you are wondering, we had decided not to get him the nerf gun. And what really tipped the scale was just thinking about all of those DARTS. This morning I overheard Jared telling Gabe that he really hoped he was going to get the gun for his birthday. I called Trevor and told him he needed to run out and get one on his lunch break. I'm such a softie. I'll be cleaning up nerf darts forever.

2. Jared's birthday cake
It is chocolate peppermint. I just pulled it out of the oven and it smells absolutely heavenly.

3. My parents
They babysat four of my kids yesterday so I could do some more Christmas shopping. (And even bought them happy meals for lunch. ) See, I've become kind of obsessed this year with getting my shopping done early. I'm so close and it is lovely. Have I saved myself a lot of stress? Not sure, but I think so. I told someone at work yesterday that I was nearly done shopping and she was just astounded that I would start to shop before Thanksgiving. She said I would get much better deals if I waited. Deals schmeals. I would rather be done and have my gifts sitting snug under a big blanket at my parents house.

4. Cell phones
I love my cell phone. I just got a new one after using hand me down phones for a couple of months. It is so nice to have my very own phone again.

5. Scrubs
I love being nice and comfy while I work.

The end! What are you thankful for this week?

Bonnie,
I think you need to see it to believe it actually. The whole theater was cracking up throughout the movie. It was kind of like a comedy, but of course not supposed to be...I think every young girl will probably like it-I felt like it was an episode of the CW with special effects. Some parts were pretty good, but overall...oh I can't wait for you to see it so we can talk about it!!
