The kids will be with me for Thanksgiving. I am so happy for that because I was just going to spend the day moping around while helping my mother cook. It probably was the fact that he had nowhere to go, so he probably wanted to eat some Thanksgiving dinner.

I feel that I am finally getting everything that I have always wanted, and so all I can hope for is my own business. So now the list of what I am thankful for:

1. My children are number one. They have been the reason that I have all the successes that I have, and I keep trying to achieve more. When I thought about having kids, I wanted a boy who had the skin tone of the guys from “POD,” and a little girl who looked exactly like Miette from “City of Lost Children.”  I got my wish both times.  They are the greatest companions ever, and with them, I will never be lonely.

2. G. is really amazing, especially to put up with such a complex creature as me, and I hope that he knows and understands that. I love him dearly, and I hope we are able to escape to NYC next weekend.

3. My family have always helped me through everything. We bicker, but we are always there to back the other up. If it weren’t for them, I don’t think I would have finished college with two babies on each hip. Thanks you guys. I adore you dearly.

4. I have great friends who have listened to me whine, cry, and bitch about life, and still love me. Hopefully in the future, we can take more trips together. Aruba with Bridget was one of the best trips and experiences of my life.

5. Life in general. I sometimes go through this self-pity mode. However, I am slowly getting out of this victim way of thinking, and becoming a stronger person every day. It might be one of the reasons that my life is finally falling into place.  I’m finally starting to think positive and live in the present.

I hope that everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday, and think about the present, your loved ones, and the food. Everything else is obsolete.

Happy ThanksgivingFrom Isabelle and Shevonne
