I’m not really sure where to start.  I am VERY thankful for so many people, and so many “things.”  As a woman with PCOS, I lived my life in fear that I would never be able to have children. Thanks to a dedicated doctor, and a very patient husband, I have two amazing, beautiful, and hilarious miracles! My children are my everything.

I am thankful for my husband, who puts up with all of my shit and  loves me the way I am, (chub and all.) My husband is an awesome daddy, and he works extremely hard to provide for us.

I am thankful for my family, who are probably the most supportive people you will ever meet. No family is perfect no matter how impeccable they appear to be.  Behind the smiles and closed doors, we all are dealing with difficult crap on a daily basis.  My family is no exception. (And by family, I’m referring to my immediate and extended families.) Time, distance, disagreements all get in the way, but when the shit hits the fan, all of those obstacles disappear, and I am truly thankful for that.

I am thankful for my friends, who make me laugh and listen to me cry. I miss some of them… a lot!

I am thankful for my job.  I am literally stressed to the fucking max on a daily basis, but I love it, and it pays the bills (well, some of them.)

I have truly been blessed with the most random, but also the most wondrous group of people in my life!

Now, let’s discuss Thanksgiving…..dinner.  As someone who is struggling with their weight, holidays are always on the list of possible catastrophes.  I am constantly on the lookout for tips on how to successfully navigate the abundance of holiday food traps.  Perhaps this lady has the right idea!

Our First Lady does have some stellar arms.  All you Republicans cannot take that away from her!

Some of you believe it’s wise to fuel up on Thanksgiving in preparation for Black Friday shopping.  I think you people have some significant psychiatric issues!  (Except you, Emily!) I know that I just wrote about how thankful I am for all of the people in my life, but that does not mean that I am thankful for all people. I’m going to let some of you in on a well-kept secret; people piss me off! I don’t enjoy being around most people.  It’s best for all involved if I do not partake in the carnage known as Black Friday.

So let’s recap…

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
