Thankful

While this has not been the best year at the Appltree house, we really only have, 

as Raina so aptly puts it, "White People Problems"

There are no bombs dropping on my neighborhood, we have a warm home, 

cars that work, toilets that flush, and liquor stores nearby.

So I am thankful

for her

and him

and also in no particular order for

coffee

smart wool socks

my babysitter: who lovingly takes my kids whenever they show up 

and who understands that when they don't we can't afford to send them 

coffee

my SIL: who listens to me whine

my BFF:who also listens to me whine and who is a chiropractor and 

and treats me for free in exchange for household projects

done by my handy husband

my handy husband:who helps out my bff because I ask him too

bread: I try, but I can't live without you

my mom

lip balm

compression fabric

bubbly water

magic treehouse books: which have both my kids 

snuggled up on either side

begging me to read more

coffee

my grandparents

my brother and my dad:who both have houses on a lake and let me hang out there

my neighbors

Have Peace
