Black Friday

Why is the day after Thanksgiving called Black Friday anyway?  In so many ways it is:  it's pitch black outside when people stand in line for sales, moods are dark when people fight over sale items in stores, the bags under people's eyes are black from not getting enough sleep, or people have black eyes from fighting with their loving family.

Today is especially dark for me.  My parents live across the country and right now my Daddy is really suffering.  It's hurts to not be closer, to not know the details of what's going on, and to feel so helpless.  Really all I can do is call, cry, blog and repeat.  Like my dear friend Kristin told me about soothing my newborn, go down the list and if that doesn't help, then start again at the top.  I'm blogging now, so maybe I'll try to get some sleep before I start the list again.

Please send your prayers, thoughts, vibes, energy, psychic hugs, or whatever it is that you do, they all help.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm thankful for House of 3 and their wonderful tutorial on how to add backgrounds and headers to blogs.  I LOVE their designs and have been wanting to use one on my blog and now I can!!!  Yay!!!

My toddler woke up at her usual time this morning (of course).  I explained that it was thanksgiving and asked her to tell Daddy happy thanksgiving gobble-gobble!  She did, it was adorable, and she really embraced the gobble-gobble and has been saying it to every relative that I've called.  Nothing like asking your daughter to perform on que and her actually doing it!  ;)

I'm thankful for so much, notably several special friends, my husband and precious daughter.

Happy Thanksgiving gobble-gobble!!!  ;)
