Happy Thanksgiving!

I figure if I make a list of what I have to be thankful for then the things that I really want to despise will be a little less apparent!

1. I have been married to the man I love for 10 years, and on Feb 29th 1996 he told me he loved me.
2. All of my children are alive and blessed. They all love God.
3. We are renting a house with a backyard that the above mentioned little people can play in! haha
4. Texas Scottish Rite Hospital For Children is willing to work with me in the middle of my medical mess and let me work some!
5. God brought to me wonderful doctors who are doing their best to get me functional again.
6. I will be able to teach my kids how to live with this and not suffer through it.
