Giving Thanks: Day 5

Today I am thankful for Daylight Savings Time.

Even though everyone else is thankful for the extra hour of sleep that they got, (which I did not), I'm thankful that the mornings were much easier for McCoy to get up and ready.  In fact, this morning we were out of the shower by 5.  Yes, I know!  We left our house at 5:55 (normally we leave at 6:15).  It made my morning a pleasure!

Not to mention, last night, McCoy was asleep at 6:30 pm!  He didn't have a nap, but he was in a fairly good mood all day yesterday.

I'm not ready to give up naps, but it seems like the weekends are usually nap-free in our house!

Giving Thanks: Day 4

Today, I am thankful for the beautiful sound of handbells!

I was a member of Rezound handbell choir for a while, until I started grad school.  Something had to give and since it was taking up a lot of time (rehearsals that were 3 1/2 hours long and concerts that took the whole entire weekend), I had to give up bells.

To take its place, though, I started a handbell choir at our church.  We only practice for an hour a week, and the church is located 5 minutes from my house.  Although we've had our ups and downs, I am glad that I'm a part of the group.

Giving Thanks: Day 2

Today I am thankful for my freedom and although right now it seems as if I have none, I really am thankful that I am an American.  I will be even more thankful if the right person is chosen to be president in a few short days.

November: Giving Thanks Day 1

Today I'm thankful for candy for breakfast.  It's the day after Halloween and although McCoy didn't get nearly as much candy as I was hoping, I did snag the good ones.  I mean, I "checked" the candy, and the "good ones" were actually the "bad ones". :)  So, I had to take them out of his basket.  You know, for protection purposes.
