In honor of Turkey Day and since we have recently resurrected the
blogspot and decided to turn it into our family journal of sorts, we thought we would list the top things we are thankful for.
FIRST, ON A SERIOUS NOTE: (scroll down for classic (Hiding from the Kids) banter)
(We are letting Curly start since he is the youngest and wisest of the group and because he has the easiest time being serious while the rest of us yuck it up)
Curly: I'm grateful my mom works at my school. Once she said she was quitting because one of the people she works with sucks and I told her I really didn't want her to leave. She promised she would stay even though she doesn't like her.
Bud: I'm grateful that my parents don't use physical punishment to get me to do what Im supposed to do (OK sometimes she flips me in the head with her fake nails during church when I won't stop punching Curly in the nuts, but that doesn't count). We aren't just a family, we are a unit that talks about everything and works things out. We are light hearted, with a sense of humor and are never afraid to laugh at ourselves (me and Duke more than anyone but that's ok).
Duke: I'm grateful that we were are out of debt and Chief and I make decisions about finances as partners. With the funds we have saved, when we are ready to retire we can build a cabin out in the middle of no where and watch the grandkids grow while we laugh at Bud and Curly trying to raise them.
Chief: I'm grateful that I have a husband who has his priorities in order, loving me and our kids more than his job or his video games. He is always willing to jump in and tackle tough parenting decisions, taxi driving, homework, grocery shopping and meal planning. He brings me home surprises (chocolate), he is friendly and kind to everyone and easy to love.
and now... we bring you MORE things we are grateful for... HFTK style. Drumroll Please....
Curly: I'm thankful for Thanksgiving dinner because I can eat as much grocery as I want and no one will judge me.
Bud: I'm thankful for Bean-o after Curly eats as much as he wants and we have to drive home with him.
Duke: I'm grateful for football, amen
Bud: Wait! Im grateful for football! Mom! Put in that I'm grateful for football more than Duke!
Curly: I'm done. I'm headed in to take a bath. This sucks.
Chief: I'm grateful for friends and coworkers who screenshot Facebook posts of another employee bashing me and then send them to me so I can share them with HR. Screenshot is AWESOME! (who do I thank for that? Steve Jobs?)
Bud: I'm grateful I'm not a vegetarian... (I also want to make it clear that the last post
was not a picture of me FAILING at something new as some people may have
interpreted it, it was a picture of me having a great time with my
friends and we got a big kick out of the fact that one of them captured
the wipeout! EPIC FAIL! HA HA HA! )
Duke: I'm grateful for bedtime... I love me some fartsack
Chief: I'm thankful for Sitemeter and Google analytics for supplying me with certain IP addresses and locations of visitors who promptly showed up after my post yesterday even if one of them only came because they are an Irritated, lonely, miserable bitch. Its nice to see I was missed :).
Bud: I'm grateful for the city sewer... laugh if you want but you haven't seen one of Chief's "deposits".
Chief: I'm thankful Bud has just eliminated himself from this game. (fbbbt.. excuse me....)
Duke: I'm thankful this post is almost done. Hopefully now people will shut up and keep their nose out of our business unless they are ready to laugh along with us.
Chief: I'm thankful that I am not so insecure and have better things to do than gossip about others, hurt peoples feelings, and embarrass myself in front of my colleagues.
and lastly, we are grateful for our true friends and family who love us just the way we are<---insert violin music here
I have a feeling some of these TRUE friends might have a thing or two to say so...
What are you all grateful for?
