Two major stressors are down: my son’s 2-year cardiology appointment (went great) and the relaunch of my publication’s website (it’s beautiful).
So now I can let myself really get into the Thanksgiving Holiday spirit.
Tomorrow, it’s all about shopping. And it looks like I may get to do that solo or at least sans kids, which always makes my Costco runs more productive and enjoyable.
I’m also prepared to knock a few other household to-do items off my list…like getting the guest room ready and doing some initial cleanup.
Unfortunately, it’s impossible (with my children) to clean the house early. Every room I clean, they regard as an open invitation to somehow make worse than when I started.
But I’m thankful for both of them…and a few other things today:
For Future Farmgirl, who in a fit of younger sister rage, knocked her brother to the floor today, finally busting out his first loose tooth. They were so proud of their team effort!
For talented Web developers and people who are willing to work on Saturdays, despite family obligations, to help build a community online.
For Future Farmboy’s bravery and calm during his doctor visit today. We’re told that if you didn’t know he’d once had open heart surgery (the scar’s a dead giveaway), you’d never know from his heart echo and EKG. Huge relief.
Finally, though, I’m thankful today for his cardiologist, whose residents are starting to retire, but keeps on practicing her magic.
