Today I am thankful that Brad Childress was fired and Brett Favre was kicked off the Vikings team.

Oh wait, that is just wishful thinking.

But when, not if, but WHEN it happens I will be thankful. Oh so very thankful :-)

Today I am thankful for rearranging. I LOVE rearranging. When my furniture is moved around it makes me feel like I have all new stuff! It's a very easy and cheap way to feel like you've spruced up your living quarters. Very satisfying indeed.

Since we decided to move Zoe from her co-sleeper to the crib, we had to get Elijah a new toddler bed (since he was using the crib's toddler bed setting). So that meant we had to rearrange his room. Then we had to move the crib into our room since Zoe still gets up to nurse in the middle of the night, so we had to rearrange our room as well.

And of course in the process of rearranging you are forced to clean up a little bit, so that always helps. And occasionally you find things you had lost! Mostly I just found Elijah's toys in random places where he had stashed them. What a goofball.

Moral of the story: Rearranging makes me happy (even though my back is likely going to be regretting it in the morning).

Today I am thankful for date night with my hubby. He took me to the local high school performance of the Wizard of Oz. Very cute.

I am also very thankful to my wonderful parents for babysitting my delightful children so that date night could happen. I guess they didn't know what they were getting themselves into... :-P

Today I am thankful for veterans and everything they have done for this country. And I am also thankful that I am privileged to know so many of these great men and women.

God bless our veterans.

Today I am thankful for Pepsi and all of it's delicious goodness and satisfaction. My mouth is drooling just thinking about it.

We are down to 2 cans right now. I have declared a Pepsi emergency.

November 9th

Today I am thankful for odd phrases with unknown (to me) origins. For example, "Let's split this pop stand," "Bit the dust," "Opened up a can of worms," etc...

And yes, I could probably google them, but the mystery of it all is what intrigues me. Plus, I don't google, but that's an entirely different story...

Also, I noticed this evening that there are several involving horses, which I find quite curious. Examples: "Pee like a racehorse," "I'm so hungry I could eat a horse," "That's enough (fill in the blank) to kill a horse!," "Straight from the horse's mouth," etc... Strange.

November 8th

Today I am thankful for burpie rags. I very much like to keep myself puke-free and burpie rags do a pretty fine job at that :-)

Well, for the most part. My children have been known to projectile vomit. In that case I just close my eyes and pray that it doesn't go in my mouth.
