Thankful days 25 & 26

I missed yesterdays post, oh noes!!  Yesterday I was thankful for internet shopping.  While I am usually one of the crazies out there black Friday morning with the rest of the troops, this year I discovered the same deals that I would have went to the store for, online.  Thank you Interwebs for letting me stay home and enjoy my day!

Today I am thankful for holiday decorating, nothing puts me in the holiday mood more than lugging down 6 totes of Christmas decorations and turning my house into Christmas land!  I love the change of decor, and all the red, green, white & silver.  I can't put out as much as I normally do this year because someones little fingers keep trying to steal all my stuff.  But she's enjoying all the new things to point out too.  I can't wait to get our tree!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone, hope your day is filled with family, friends, good times and of course more food than should ever be consumed! :)  It's been a hard year for my family with the loss of my dad and my uncle but there is still so much to be thankful for.

 Today I am thankful that we live in a country where we can afford to have the ridiculous amount of food that we are going to chow upon today.  I could eat till I burst and there will still be food left to eat tomorrow.  I'm thankful that I have never had to know what it's like to go without.  And I hope that those who have had to go without have a place to go today were they can fill their bellies!

Thankful Day 23 and OMGwhyarepeoplecrazy!?!??!

Okay first the OMGwhyarepeoplecrazy part because that will lead into my thankful for the day....So I cannot for the life of me understand what leads someone to think that the world owes them something.  That everyone should bend over backwards to help them out, lend them something, let them borrow money, whatever.  I encounter one of these people on the daily..well work day daily's anyhow.  So today after 2 days of letting her borrow something (you know being nice and all even after I know better from previous experience)  I tell her she can't borrow it over the weekend....Wholly crap, flip out on me, tell me that I'm going to have to change my plans (cancel an appointment) because she needs it for her personal use.  WHAT?!?!  News Flash Lady.  "ITS NOT YOURS!"  While I am willing to help someone out I will not rearrange my life to convenience yours, you take advantage of everyone and I for one am sick and tired of it.  Don't try to turn your irresponsibility into my problem, I don't care what problems its going to cause for you this weekend I already gave you three days to deal with your own issues & nothing was done, same as the last time you borrowed from me and same as the time before.  It's no longer my problem, and other than you trying to make it my problem it really never was.  Ugh, can you tell it lit a new stage of anger in me?  I actually had to address her like a child this afternoon.  Saying her name and telling her, No you can't have it, it is not yours to take whenever you want.  Good lord if I act like that at 50 someone, please, smack the crap out of me!

And, raging over.  Today I am thankful that I was raised to respect people, not take advantage of people & be thankful for what people offer to help me out instead of always expecting more, more, more.  I'm thankful that I have morals.
