Thanksgiving:What I am thankful for

Before I go on about what I am thankful for, I would first like to start off by announcing what I am NOT grateful for. I am so not grateful for computer viruses that affect your hard drive so you can no longer upload pictures, videos or use the Internet. I am not grateful for the price of gas and the fact that the government isn't doing a dang thing about it nor am I grateful for rude, inconsiderate people that feel like they are the center of the universe and that I need to bow down for them and wipe their butt.

OK, now what AM I grateful for? I am so grateful for my husband and son. God gave me the greatest gift when they came into my life. I am also grateful for the rest of my family, in-laws included. With out family, what is the purpose of living? I am grateful that I live in a country where even though I live below the poverty line, but I am much richer than people in other countries since I have heat, electricity and water. I am also grateful for all the men and women who serve this country admirably, putting their families on hold to protect mine. Lastly, I am truly grateful for our Savior, Jesus Christ and his willingness to die for us so that our sins can be forgiven. With out that sacrifice, we would never be able to live with our Heavenly Father again.

I hope that everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving and ponders what they are thankful for. It is amazing when you sit down and actually think about it, how much you can come up with.

Ok, so I really don't understand how come people can be so dishonest and stupid. I think that all the stupid dishonest people in the world should be locked up in their own special, little town and the key should be thrown away! I guess if that were the case, there really wouldn't be too many people around. Wouldn't that be so nice, though?

Today was stake conference at church and I was dreading it! Regular church is hard enough with just me and Isaac ( Jim works nights and gets home around 7/8 am so he goes to sleep.) let alone trying to stay in one place for 2 hours. With regular church, I end up in the foyer after the Sacrament was passed, all of Sunday school and at least the last 1/2 hour of Relief Society. I wonder why I even go sometimes. I mean, it would be so much easier to stay in my pj's, have Isaac go down for his nap at normal time and let him play with his own toys all in the comfort of my own home. Needless to say, I only heard about 1 1/2 talks today and the rest of the time I was walking around and in the play room.

Speaking of the play room, why can't parents monitor their kids? I know that kids will be kids, but come on!!! When you see your child deliberately taking toys away from kids so they can have 5 toys and NOT share, you should step in, right? I was so ready to kick this one kid in the side and the parent too because his kid was such a bully to Isaac and nothing was being done about it. Well, I finally decided to leave before I did anything.

UGH!!!
