Oh dear! I woke up at 3 this morning and realized I forgot to post! I was so close to the end of the month too! I was so mad! I was so disappointed! GAH!
Oh well, life goes on. And I think it was pretty cool that I managed to blog 29 out of 30 days! I think I'm going to keep going. I mean, I may not post every single day, but I am going to keep going. I mean, some of the days I couldn't think of anything to blog about but I did it anyway. It made me think and stretch my mind a little. I know some of my posts were probably boring, but at least I tried.
Ok, the reason I forgot to blog yesterday is because it was Bossmans birthday. I am so thankful for that man I don't even know where to begin.
Bossman and I met when we were in high school. I was a senior and he was a junior. (I know! Such a cradle robber I am!) I asked him to roller skate and the rest, as they say, is history. One thing I know for sure is, asking him to skate was hands down the BEST decision I ever made!
He and I have been through a lot. But through it all he has worked his butt off to make sure I was taken care of. Well, me and the kids! We are in a comfortable spot in our lives because of him.
I can't imagine my life without him. He is my soul.
So many things happened yesterday that I now have stuff to tell you about in another post! YAY!
Have a great day!
Forgetfully,
grace
Baby it's cold outside!
It's been cold here, which is unusual for us. It also rained again this weekend, so that was nice. We can really use the rain here on the West coast.
Today I was very thankful for my ugg boots. My feet were nice and toasty!
I haven't had that conversation yet with Bossman. I know you all are saying to just come right out with it. I suppose that is the best option. I just find it hard to ask for something like spanking. I'm sure its just how life is. Spankings have such negative thoughts associated with them that it's hard to remember that it's ok to want them. My brain doesn't want to wrap around the fact that its ok and it doesn't make me weird or odd. (Ok, I'm rather weird and odd, but not because of spanking. HA!)
I wish the world would just understand that it's ok. I wish my brain would understand that it's ok.
I will talk to him about it. I promise, I will.

Late
We finally made it home from the airport. I am very thankful for that today. The traffic was great, there wasn't much, UNTIL, until we got about a mile from the airport. THEN it took over 45 minutes to go a mile. It was terrible. But we survived and the boy made it to his flight. He has actually landed and is waiting for his second flight. It's only an hour flight to his college from where he is now.
So, I didn't talk to Bossman about spanking. We were tired and Bossman was listening to football on the radio and I just couldn't get the gumption to talk about it. Honestly, I didn't know what to say. Half way home he told me something and I said something back and he got testy with me and I decided talking to him wasn't such a good idea. I'm not going to chicken out, I will talk to him, I just have to figure out what I want. I can't just say, hey spank me. I have to expand on that. But what do I want? That is the million dollar question.
Any suggestions on what I should ask for or how I should ask? I'm always open for suggestions.
HUGS!

One day left
I'm so thankful that I had this week with my son. We've had a fun time and it is always fun to spend time with him.
Tomorrow will be spent in traffic taking him to the airport. I'm not looking forward to that.
Today we spent time just hanging out and then he went surfing one last time before heading back to school. It was freezing and raining here today so I spent time at home watching the Gilmore girls! I love that show so much! I have two more episodes. I'm already sad that it's going to be over. I want watch them, but I want to save them too. It's such a first world problem.
I hope you all had a great weekend. I know I did.
HUGS!

Leftovers
We made it home and all is well. We have to take the boy to the airport on Sunday and trust me when I say that traffic will probably be a nightmare. It's normally a 2 and a half hour ride but when we picked him up it took us 4 and a half. UGH!
He's coming home again in 2 weeks or so, so I wont have much time to miss him. BUT, he's decided to drive home and it's a 16 hour drive, so that won't be worrisome, AT ALL!
I feel like this holiday season is going to fly by and it's going to be over before we know it. I plan on enjoying every second I can.
Today I am thankful for the Thanksgiving leftovers. I personally don't have any, my daughter kept them all. It's seems weird that I would be thankful for them, but honestly, I am thankful for them because I miss them! Does that even make sense? Probably not, but I think I will go to the store and get a turkey and make one this weekend so I can have leftovers.
I'm also grateful that we made it home safe!
Also, I'm grateful for the weekend.
Ok, I think I'm done now!

Happy Thanksgiving
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I am super full and super happy. It was a great time for all of us.
I am so grateful for my family and I am very thankful that we were all healthy. About 9 years ago I got super sick on Thanksgiving and ended up having an ambulance take me to the hospital. It was a very rough time and it was by far the worst Thanksgiving and Christmas I ever had. It makes me appreciate the holidays where I am feeling great.
I hope you all had a great day! I'm am thankful you stopped by to read today.

Family
I'm thankful for my family today.
We came to my daughters house to celebrate thanksgiving. We've been here a couple of hours and we have been having fun. We set up a Christmas tree in the back yard and took some family photos for our Christmas card. We had a blast. Sometimes we are just so silly!
I hope you all have a happy Thanksgiving and for those who don't celebrate, please have a very happy Thursday!
Love and HUGS!

A quick talk
I'm thankful that I have a husband that will listen to me and not make me feel embarrassed when I ask for things.
Specifically when I ask for a spanking.
It was a quick talk. I just said that when the boy went back to school I'd like to revisit the whole spanking thing. He said he would be happy to talk about it.
So...YAY for me!
He's going back on Sunday....is Sunday night too soon to talk about it?

Book Bub
Today I am thankful for Book Bub.
Book bub is this website that goes through all the e-reader sites and sends you an email everyday telling you what books are on sale.
You go on and pick your which types of books you like to read and it will send you a list of books that are free or marked down to a low price. My kindle is full of books I haven't read that I have gotten for free or almost free. It's so amazing! I have read some amazing books that I probably wouldn't have known about if not for this website.
I don't get anything for telling you this..except the satisfaction of knowing that YOU too can have books for free or almost free! Got to book bub and try it. I think you will like it.
Any other websites I should be going to? Tell me your favorites!

Rain
Today I am thankful for the rain.
I live in a drought area. We have certain days we can water our lawns and we have to do everything we can to save water. Today, it rained and rained. It was a beautiful thing. Everything gets nice and green after a good rain. It's a nice fresh feeling after a good rain.
This rain will do nothing for the drought, we need it to rain for a good 40 days for that to happen, but it's nice to have the rain. Our weather gets so boring sometimes. It's nice for it to be cold and rainy! It's perfect for getting into the Thanksgiving mood.
Hope you all had a great weekend! I did! My boy came home!
HUGS!

I just love my lurkers! I am so grateful for all the people that stopped by my blog yesterday and today and left comments for me. What a wonderful group of people. It was so nice of you all to drop by and say Hi!
Someone asked about our dog, Sadie. I am happy to report that Sadie is doing GREAT! Her leg is completely healed and she is a happy, happy girl. We took her camping with us last weekend and she was in doggie heaven. She was so happy to be with us. For the last year or so, we haven't taken her with us anywhere because of her leg. She couldn't believe that she got to come with us. She loved it.
Anyway, thank you all for stopping by. I am so thankful for all of you!!!!

I love my Lurkers
Welcome to my blog!!!!
Today I am thankful for my lurkers!!! I consider myself a professional lurker. I have plenty of blogs that I go to and read on a daily, or at least weekly basis. I very rarely leave a comment. Seriously, I usually feel like I have nothing to contribute. I'm not sure why I don't comment more often. As a blog writer, I LOVE getting comments. I guess I should try to comment more.
See, commenters are the way to make friends. When I was a regular commenter I made some great friends from this blog.
I guess what I'm trying to say is Thank You for reading my blog. I love every comment and I appreciate the effort made to make a comment.
I love the lurkers too! I know you are out there and I am grateful that you are here reading my dumb words!
Happy LOL day!!! Happy lurking!
HUGS!

Tomorrow
Tomorrow my boy is coming home! He's not getting in until late and I have to drive down to the big city...LA to pick him up. BUT, he's coming home. I know he is homesick so he's super excited to come home.
Today I'm thankful for my record player and thrift stores!
I got a record player a couple of years ago. There is something fun about listening to old records. I didn't have much of a collection until I started going to thrift stores. I've gotten some really good ones for as low as a buck. Also, my kids and I love trying to find the most ridiculous records we can find and listen. We have some crazy ones. There is one with 4 guys in all white pants suits swinging on swings. The music is awful, but we just love listening to it!
So, that's what I'm thankful for today.
How about you?

Day 16
I was on quite a roll and now I can't seem to think of things to write about.
I am thankful that Thanksgiving is coming. My boy is coming home Friday and I'm super excited for that. We are heading to my daughters for thanksgiving this year. She lives about 2 hours away. She's excited to be hosting this year and I'm glad I don't have to have it at my house. It's should be fun.
I am reading the comments. I'm terrible at responding but just know I do read them. I like the comment about getting a spanking. I wish we were doing that now. I can't seem to get Bossman to do it lately. In his defense, I've been having a time with my neck and other annoying health issues, so I'm sure that is part of the problem.
I should probably just talk to him about it. Right? Isn't that the advise I always give to others? Isn't that the advise you all would give me?
I thought so!

I almost forgot to post today! It's only 9:40 here, so I made it in time!
Today I'm thankful for this blog.
I have met some amazing people from this blog. I've made some friends and I've gotten to know some of you by reading your blog.
I haven't been a good blogger lately but the thing I realized is that I still have readers. Even when I've been gone for long periods of time, I can count on someone leaving a comment! You guys are the best!!!
Anyway, thank you for being a friend. I really appreciate it!

The tale continues
Thursday morning, we got up early so we could get to the campground. We were just praying we would get a spot. As we were loading the last bit of food and such into the RV, Bossman put the steps down to get in and it was really close to the curb and it hit his toe! Luckily he was wearing shoes, but it hurt pretty bad. He didn't want to look at it, so he sucked it up and we continued getting ready. After getting settled at the campground, he looked and OUCH! It is so bruised! He's ok now, thank goodness!
Just when I thought it couldn't get worse, Bossman got in the house freezer and...everything was defrosting and melting. I'm not sure if it's broken or if it got left open, but Bossman said not to worry about it, we would take care of it when we got home.
So finally, we hit the road! Everything was pretty smooth getting there. Once we got there we got worried because the campground looked full. We got to the gate and low and behold, there were still spots! HOORAY, finally something went right.
Bossman is getting good at backing up Bullet and so it wasn't a problem getting it parked!
Everything was awesome after that! We had the best time. We've done a lot of camping and this was the best camping trip ever. Of course my daughter says it's not camping if you are in an RV, but whatever...We had too much fun. We've never camped to close to the ocean. I mean, we have camped at places close, but seriously, we were literally 10 feet from the ocean. In the morning, when it was high tide the spray would hit the RV window. It was amazing!
Today I am thankful for the life I live. I never imagined I would own an RV. Bossman has worked so hard to get us to this point. Although sometimes I don't feel like I contributed, I did. I stayed home and raised our children. Now we are at the point where we can spend time by ourselves. Bossman and I were only married one year when we found out we were expecting our first child. It's been 26 years since we've been able to do things on our own. We are getting to know each other all over again. I am very thankful for that!
Meet Bullet
Home
We made it home! What a wonderful trip we had.
It didn't start out so great though. This was only the second time we've taken Bullet out. We've never owned a RV before and there is a LOT to know about them. Bossman is really good at figuring things out but there were still bumps along the way.
We store the RV so we had to pick Bullet up on Wed. Our plan was to leave Thursday as we were going to a "first come, first serve" campground and we were nervous we wouldn't get a spot. Our plan all along was to pick up Bullet Wed and Bossman was going to work Thursday until noon and then we would go. Wednesday afternoon Bossman called and said he didn't have to work the next day and we should just leave when he got home. I wasn't exactly ready for that, but I hurried and got ready. We loaded up the truck and headed up to the RV storage place. It has been a month and a half since we last took him out. We weren't entirely sure what we were doing. Our battery was dead and the power jack wouldn't work. Oh man. After fumbling around like bumbling idiots, Bossman managed to figure it all out. By the time he figured it out, we were wiped! Also it was sunset and the campground was an hour and a half away. We decided it was best to go home and leave early in the morning. We can park the RV in front of our house, so that's what we did. SHEEZ!!!
I am thankful that we figured it out. I will tell the rest of the story tomorrow but just know, I am so thankful for my very smart husband and I'm glad he has the patience to figure things out. I'm thankful for the Bullet.
I hope you all had a terrific weekend. I know I did!

Last night here
This is the last night. We've had an amazing time. I am so thankful for this amazing life I've been given. It's been an amazing journey and I can't wait to see what is next!
I hope you all had an amazing weekend! Can you believe I haven't missed a day of posting yet? Frankly, I'm proud of myself! It's not easy to post on your phone!
See ya tomorrow!
Haha! I just reread this. Seriously, how many times can I use the word amazing?

Still camping
Thankful Thursday!
So I don't think I've shared with you all that Bossman and I bought a RV last month. It's always been a dream of mine to have an RV and Bossman has made that dream come true. I am mighty thankful.
This weekend we are taking Bullet (that's what we named him) camping. We found a campground an hour and a half from our house. We just got here and WOW! We are in paradise! Couldn't be more thankful!
Here's a picture looking out the back of the RV.

26
I just voted! My son just turned 18 this year, so it was his first year to vote. Since he's in a different state he had a mail in vote. He made me promise to get him a "I voted" sticker.
I'm super proud of both of my children. They both voted! That makes me happy!
Speaking of being proud of my children...
Today is the wildchilds 26th birthday! Today I am so thankful for her.
She is an amazing person. She gave us hell as a teen, but now she is such a lovely young woman.
She makes me laugh every single day.
She is smart, she is beautiful, she is amazing!
So, Happy Birthday Wildchild! I love you to the moon and back!

Vote!
I can see the time change is not a big hit. Honestly, I was just trying to put a positive spin on it. It's really not my favorite. I hate the spring when we have to move forward. Takes foreve to get used to that.
So let's just get the conversation over with. Lets talk about the election.
I have a very special thing to be thankful for tomorrow and that is why we are talking about the election today.
I'm not going to tell you who I'm voting for. I can't believe how many people have unfriended people on facebook because of who they are voting for. I believe that who I vote for is personal and it's nobodys business.
With that said, I encourage everyone to vote. It wasn't that long ago that women didn't get to vote. They had NO voice. Now women have a chance to be president. That's progress. I am thankful for that!
I know that the candidates have problems. In all honesty, they both suck!
BUT, I am incredibly grateful that I get to vote! I am thankful that I live in a country where I GET to vote!
So, please, I don't care who you are voting for! I promise to still be your friend. And please,
GO VOTE!

Time change
Today I am thankful for the time change.
I like having that extra hour. It's like a gift. Today I got up an hour before I usually do. I feel like I got some stuff done.
I'm not fond of it getting dark earlier. But it's not so bad. It just means we get to start hibernating in our houses. Good book, hot chocolate, some popcorn. Or we could watch a movie and snuggle under the blankets.
It's finally starting to feel like fall around here. I actually had to put a sweater on today.
My daughter and SIL are coming to town. They should be here soon. Her birthday is Tuesday and she and her hubby will go to Disney, so we will celebrate her birth tomorrow.
Just more things to be thankful for!

Spiritual belief
I don't know if you would consider me religious. I do go to church pretty regularly. My child went to a christian high school and he is going to a christian college.
Personally, I have my beliefs. I'm not sure what I would do without them. I have gone through lots of things in my life and without my personal beliefs, I don't know how I would have survived.
I don't like pushing my beliefs on others. My kids think I'm religious, but they would, they were raised that way. Funny thing is though, my daughter told my SIL when they first started dating that Bossman and I were religious. He got nervous meeting us because he didn't know what to expect. I think he thought we were going to throw the Bible at him. Low and behold, he was pleasantly surprised. We didn't throw the Bible at him and we don't throw our religion at him. I have a friend that is not religious. I've known her since high school. She has told me numerous times that she loves how I don't talk about religion with her (unless she asks) but she can tell I am a good person. I think everyone has to make up their own minds on religion and spiritual things. If you ask, I will be happy to tell you what I think on the subject but I am not going to be knocking on your door anytime soon asking if you found Jesus!
I am very thankful for my beliefs. I don't know where I'd be without them!
Personally, I have my beliefs. I'm not sure what I would do without them. I have gone through lots of things in my life and without my personal beliefs, I don't know how I would have survived.

Friday
I have a lot to be thankful for today.
It's Friday! Doesn't matter if I go to work or not, Friday is an awesome day. Weekends are the best because I get to spend them with Bossman.
Heating pad. I have a bad neck. Once or twice a year my neck decides to freak out. Bad pain in my neck and shoulder, even hurts to breath. Laying down is virtually impossible! The heating pad is my friend during these bad days.
Ice pack. See paragraph above.
Television. When I can't move much, it's great to have my tv to escape to. Along with my Tv, I love my netflix!
Ipad. Honestly, I wouldn't be posting today if I didn't have my ipad. I enjoy reading on it, facebooking on it, emailing on it, sometimes it's my lifeline to the outside world! Along with my ipad, I love my kindle. Reading is even better than TV!!!
So, what's your favorite Tv show? I've got to many to mention, but right now my new favorite is called, This is us. Such a smart show. You should watch it.
What's your favorite book, or series of books? I am in love with Harry Potter. I have all the books and movies. I'm also madly in love with the Outlander series. I've read both too many times to count. They are comfort to me.
Ok People...go out and be thankful!

Costco
Today I'm thankful for Costco.
That might seem like a weird thing to be thankful for but, there it is.
I LOVE Costco. Everything you go there is something new to see. I love going up and down the aisles looking for new treasures. Today I bought some chicken tortilla soup, a nativity set, (I collect them and this one was only 17 dollars) a set of glass bowls for my daughter, a case of canned pineapple, a case of chicken noodle soup, two bags of Skinny pop popcorn and a giant soft plush blanket.
I know some like to go for the samples. I am not really a sample girl, unless it's something that really looks good.
So...if you go to Costco, what is your favorite thing to buy there?
Since I'm asking, I have another question.
Trader Joe's is right next to Costco, but I've never gone. What kind of things do you like to get at Trader Joe's? I'm thinking of expanding my horizons!
Thankful Day 2
Since Thanksgiving is in November, this is the perfect month to be thankful.
Today, I am thankful for my husband's job. I could be thankful for him, but I'm saving that for another day.
Bossman has been in his profession for roughly 17 years. He's been with this company for almost 15.
When he started out on this journey, we were broke. We lived paycheck to paycheck and we even had to live with the in-laws for a while. It was tough.
The sacrifices we made were worth it. After many many years of barely making it, we are now doing fantastic. I never thought we'd make it this far.
Of course, being financially stable is a reason to be thankful, but the main reason to be thankful is because for the last 10 years or so, I haven't had to work. I realize what a blessing it is to not have to work. Not many people get the opportunity to stay home. I was able to take care of my kids and take care of our house. Even after the kids left, I am able to be home. It's amazing!
I don't know how I got so lucky.

30 days of Thankfulness
What better way to get back into blogging than starting 30 days of Thankfulness?
They say habits take 21 days to form, so I figure if I have to post every day for 30 days, I should be back in the habit of blogging....right?
You'll be happy to know our trip to Washington went well. We had a great time with the boy. I missed that face!
Let's talk weather. See, I live in a place that has very boring weather. 60's and 70's are the norm for my area, most of the year. A little warmer in the summer and a tad chillier in the winter...but generally boring, boring weather. We are in an extreme drought, so we don't even get rain.
Washington, on the other hand, has seasons. Right now they are having something called FALL. The leaves were changing, it was in the 40's. It was just amazing. I will always love where I live! I get to live by the ocean! It's not to hot and not to cold. BUT, it was amazing to enjoy some fall weather.
As for what I am thankful for today? I'm thankful for the beautiful weather I got to experience in Washington. My eyes couldn't take in all the beauty that was there. I'm also thankful for the beautiful weather I have here in my own neck of the woods. We landed yesterday to a beautiful sunset over the ocean. I'll take that!!!!
Want to see a picture of me in the beautiful fall of Washington?
And I'll leave you with a sunset from my own slice of heaven.
