Just another Day...

I am decidedly thankful for ordinary things.
I did not do a Thanksgiving post party because I was totally wiped out from work and partly because I am trying to be grateful everyday, not just on turkey day.
I have decided that one of the things I am the most grateful for is the choas we call normal. 
I am grateful that we have a mountain of laundry becuase it means we have clothing to wear.
I am grateful that I am tired a lot beacuse it means I am working hard and have a job.
I am grateful for all the dumb computer glitches that make me cuss yell at my computer because I am glad to have a computer.
I am grateful my pants are falling off beacuse it means the extra weight is finally starting to come off.
I am grateful for homework because it means we are learning something.
I am grateful that my van is falling apart because it means we at least have some sort of transportation.

I guess it all about the attitude right?

We have to keep a sense of humor going.
the other day I got home a little late from work to find a very upset David sitting at the computer.
Turns out he had fallen asleep and Ryan did not.  So Ryan, our little BIG trouble maker decided to play with one of the phones.  He called 911 multiple times.  So at 3:30 in the morning Ryan wakes David up by telling him that a policeman want to talk to him.  What?  daivd did not know at this point that Ry-Guy had been playing with the phone.  He thought something had happened to me.  So he was angry but relieved to find that it was just Ryan playing with the phone.  I got home around 4 am and David was trying to calm down.  The police gave Ryan a good lecture about not calling 911 unless it was a real emergency. 
Ryan won't even talk to me about it.  He just keep saying that he "forgot" what happened. 



Ah, the hair raising joys of raising boys.....
