Thanksgiving Blessings.....

I found this in a magazine recently and thought that is was so good I had to put it up for you all to pass on too.....

Be Thankful

Consider the following facts.
Then count your blessings.

~~~~ If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep.......you are richer than 75 percent of the people in the world.

~~~~ If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace.......you are among the top 8 percent of the world’s wealthy.

~~~~ If you woke up this morning with more health than illness..... you are more blessed than the million who will not survive this week.

~~~~ If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation.....you are a head of 500 million people in the world.

~~~~ If you can attend a church or other place of worship with out fear of harassment, arrest, torture, or death.....you are more blessed than three billion in the world.

~~~~ If your parents are still alive and still married.....you are very rare (and your parents too!) {Tyren and I are both very rare...his parents have been married for 59 years and my parents have been married for 46 this January}

~~~~ If you hold up your head with a smile on your face and are truly thankful...you are blessed because the majority can, but most do not.

~~~~ If you can read this message, you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world who cannot read at all.

~~~~ Have a good day, count your blessings, and pass this along to remind everyone else how blessed we all are.

The path to our destination is not always a straight one. We go down the wrong road, we get lost, we turn back. Maybe it doesn’t matter which road we embark on. Maybe what matters is that we embark.

Today is truly a blessing...no one is promised tomorrow. Make the most of what you have today and be thankful in all things. Tell the ones that you love that you love them and those that you care about that you really do care. You may never get that chance and regret it. So to my friends and family I truly do love and care about you and that you are all in my life, some I see every day others a lot less often, some I have never met in person (Hi Stephanie) but know that I love them and care about them and are great cyber friends!! I've lost friends and people who I truly cared about and loved in one way or another...(yes "D" if you are out there, that would mean you!) I miss them deeply, but I know that I am truly blessed for all that are in my life and those that have come and gone. For knowing them has made me the stronger person that I am today and I know that I can! No matter what it is I CAN.....
So as we approach this day of Thanksgiving please consider all the blessing that you have and truly be thankful for them.

Blessings,

This boy....

You see this boy...yeah he's cute and all innocent looking, but he's really not!! He has a conspiracy going on here....

He either want to give me heart failure or he really wants me to pee in my pants!!



Oh and you want to know why......




As I was walking out the back door this is what I spotted...

Upon closer investigation...

Yeah its a fake!

Umm excuse my while I go change pants.....

Hi Ho....

Hi Ho off to the doctors we must go....

kinda see a pattern here.

I think everyday this week we have had a doctors visit or therapy appointment.
Today I'm taking Ty to our family doctor, I think they want to make sure he is not getting pneumonia, since it is still really hurting when he breaths deep.

I took him out on Tuesday with me to the Gym. He did OK, just no real comfortable positions for him to get in, but it was good for him to get out. He is so bored, he is usually a busy body.

Tuesday also found me at the allergist with Marshall, shot and a check up on his asthma.
Wednesday it was off to the dentist for Marshall. Not so much happy news for him. He has to have his wisdom teeth taken out by an oral surgeon. We have that consult appointment on Dec. 1st. Busy, busy......

Today will be my last day for sanity for a while, well whats left of my sanity anyway, if there ever was any to begin with.....
Kids will be off this week for Thanksgiving holiday! I think the ONLY thing I am looking forward to is no alarm going off at 4:45am!!

Here are a few pictures of the back of Ty's leg...it was completely purple, it is getting better (color wise). His other leg is starting to be less bruised too, but those ribs and stuff are still hurting.

I'm thinking I am going to go back to school soon! I think I have made my mind up that I am going to go back and be a nurse. I have, after all, had plenty of practice.

Well gotta run and get dressed, but I just have to leave you with this precious photo....

I love 'em, even though I must continually clean after the both of them....

WHY?

Why?

Why must I wake up to these messes?

This dog is a pain in a butt he picks out what he wants to eat and the rest is all over the floor!
This mess well.....

as I got a closer look this is what he was busy doing....

Can you see it? It's his Christmas list!!!
1. D-rex ( a robotic dinosaur)

2. Screechers, another dinosaur

and

3. is Spike the Dinosaur....


and the list keeps growing............

1. is a big Bakhugan
2. An airplane
3. is a m16 bb gun
4. Everything you use for hunting is what I want
5. I want more camouflage clothes...

hehehehehe

A quick glimpse...

I really intended on doing a good update tonight....

No really I did...not that it would have said much.......
We had a pretty quiet weekend.
Marshall for the first time ever went with the church on a 2 night camping fall retreat. That was a big step for him! I think that was the first time that he spent the night a way, other than my parents house. But you have to understand all the "bad" things happened to Marshall in the middle of the night (like his brain hemorrhage) and I guess those are things that you just don't let go of. I, for one, know that it is nearly impossible to get that image of him laying there, throwing up blood and telling me his head hurts, out of my mind or the picture of him in the ER room just laying there..those are the images that seem to stick with me and just won't go away. Especially when I am laying there trying to get to sleep. Here lately it is the image of Ty in the ER on the stretcher with the neck brace on and laying on the board and tons of people all around him with his clothes all cut up/off and him shaking and taking short shallow breaths....there were people everywhere working on him and tons of sheriff's deputies, captains and chiefs and all. Why do those images stick in our heads? I guess it is because they are so traumatic. You can feel your whole life change in a matter of seconds....milliseconds! Change comes and you embrace the new and are thankful for everything you have. Sometimes change is good, sometimes not...but it is what it is and life goes on...you breathe in and you breathe out, putting one foot in front of the other and just do it! Yeah who doesn't want to be somebody else, who we think has better lives than us...but truth is, grass is not always greener on the other side! You know what I miss most right now is a great big hug, being held so tightly by Ty...something so simple, yet some may never get that chance again, I will...just when he heals more!

Sorry I seemed to have rambled there...
Amelia, spent most of the weekend out at my mom and dad's house, so that meant that we just had the wild man.....
Since the weather was nice, he spent most of his weekend out side in his camouflage attire...which I hate because when I go to look for him it makes it really hard to spot him. Thankfully he has gotten better at answering me when I call him, especially after our scare this summer!!!

Ty is bored, which I think is a good sign. Tomorrow morning I am going to the gym, he said he was going to take a ride with me and sit up there and talk with the front desk people, while I take the group strength class. At least it gets him out of the house for a little while. Then I have to check Marshall out of school take him to get his glasses fixed and to the allergist for shots and check ups...I feel it never ends. I still need to make an appointment with the endocrinologist and the dentist for both Marshall and Amelia.
Friday is the doctor for Ty, our general practitioner, not for anything specific, just because the hospital stressed to us more than once to go and see him in two weeks...
I started my two times a week therapy today and should be able to start jogging/running soon. Maybe I'll run a way from here for a while? Just kidding...these people would be 100% completely LOST with out me!! Which only means it is really time for them to start to standing on their own two feet.
Well I'm headed to bed...hoping for rest and peace or just some peaceful rest! 5:00 am comes just to dang early!!
Good night... I'll let you know how our venture goes....
