I’m behind on my Thankful Blog so I’m combining 3 days in one…
here goes!
Day 6 – My Bed
The other night, I was asleep in my “assigned” spot on the
couch (Aubree has one end and I have the other). My knees hurt when I fall asleep sitting up
and so apparently I stretched out in my sleep.
I woke up pushing a pillow out of the way with my feet… only it wasn’t a
pillow. I had my FOOT on top of Aubree’s
face and was pushing her out of the way.
Yikes. Poor baby, but it’s really
her fault. If she would sleep like a
normal person, I would have been snoring in my nice, comfy bed instead of kicking
her in the face. On Day 6, I am thankful
for my bed. I don’t get to spend NEARLY
enough time in it, but I still love it.
Day 7 – 5-Hour Energy Drinks and Teenage Girls Who Talk And Talk And Talk...
Since the kids are out of school on Monday for Veteran’s
Day, we planned a long weekend trip to the beach. At the last minute, Willard backed out
because he’s been sick, so I headed out with 8 kids. Well, one is technically
an adult but he doesn’t pay his own bills so he’s still a kid to me. And 3 more were teenagers but they don’t wash
their own clothes so they’re kids too.
We headed out after dark, and I knew I’d struggle to stay awake. When it gets dark, I get sleepy. Always have and always will. My foster daughter suggested a 5-Hour Energy
Drink and SHA-ZAM! Between the drink (my
first ever) and the fact that she NEVER stops talking, I didn’t get one bit
sleepy. We made excellent time, only stopped
once and now we’re nestled in for a beautiful weekend. So, on Day 7, I’m thankful for artificial
energy boosters and my 16-year-old foster daughter’s motor mouth.
Day 8 – The Beach
Rain or shine… warm or cold… There’s nowhere in the world I’d
rather be. On Day 8 I’m thankful
for the beach and that I get to wake up to this view for the next few days.
P.S. After I wrote this post, one of the bunch started throwing up. I am not sure if it's a virus or food poisoning, but I'm thankful for Zofran. :(
