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.
HUGS!

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!

LOL
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!!!!
HUGS!

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!

Almost forgot...
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.

I don't know how I got so lucky!
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!
