I think my brain has atrophied after a long day dealing with the sick (Bug), the pathetic (mister mrtl), and the crazy (Jem). Our livingroom currently smells like Bug butt. As disgusting as it is, I can't move myself to leave.
Instead of dwelling on the bad, though, I'm going to exercise my brain with a list of good stuff.
Things That I'm Thankful For Today
Mister mrtl didn't bleed all over our bed.
Bug's aim into the barf bucket was true.
DVR and 24-hour Noggin
Bug can work the remote control.
I was able to sleep a little more while Bug hung out, watched shows, and puked.
Jem didn't cut off her hair while I napped.
My sixth sense awakened me to stop Jem's attempts to cut the cheesehead.
Jem's requests at lunch for a cookie sandwich and calling my pb&j "crap" was priceless.*
Mister mrtl got professional help for his bleeding issue that may actually be effective. Dinner was blood-free, at least.
Nacho Cheese Doritos
In the midst of her tantrum at dinner, Jem didn't spill her drink.
*She had the bagel tongs and was attempting to grab the sandwich and say "clap."

What are you thankful for today?
Pre-Thanksgiving with friends who are moving to CA.
My heater is working again.
Being able to run 4 miles pain-free.
Having a shopping buddy with me to brave the grocery store crowds today.
The sweet certainty that somebody likes me.
I love it when you post!

I hope all the bleeding and puking over yonder comes to a halt very soon.

I'm thankful for too much to list.
Wait...coffee. I'm thankful for coffee. Good coffee, not crappy coffee. Not burned nasty stale dirt tasting coffee like you would get in an empty diner late at night or at McDonalds.
And you. I'm thankful for you.
