THANK YOU

I have a headache and should be in bed.

I was in bed, listening to Route 66 on the radio and trying to sleep. But then my mind began narrating my day back to me. It was telling me things I was grateful for.

I am thankful the little bugs were troopers and didn’t complain once the whole drive here to Utah.

I am thankful I got to have Thanksgiving with in-laws who cooked the whole darn thing.

I am thankful those sisters-in-law were wise enough to invite me to bring canned cranberry sauce and store-bought rolls.

I am thankful for my beautifully named sister-in-law Melissa who is the best pie-maker in the world.

I am thankful I got to eat some of her pies today.

I am thankful nobody thought less of me when I went back for seconds of her pies today. (And thirds)

I am thankful for Mr. Right who is staying up late and playing Axis and Allies with his brothers, but promises to take care of the little bugs (who are having ever so much trouble sleeping here) so that I can get some sleep.

Which I’m now going to go do.
