Thanksgiving. Turkey day. A time for thanks. A time for family.
So what did our thanksgiving bring? Not all that much. I did get the joy and honor of making my wonderful husband a gluten free french silk pie {not an easy task, by the way} and also of spending it with my in laws.
Its sad; I'd much rather spend the meal with my mother and father in law than my own mother and father. They are so much more sane. And they treat the boys so much better. Like they relate more.
It was a great, filling meal, with tons of food to choose from and three different desserts. Not one fight or argument broke out at the table or even the whole evening. Even G was a well behaved boy. Our day was nice. Our evening was nice.
The morning started out not so nice. We weren't sure J was going to be home. He raced home as fast as he could. His work had taken him off of two different loads and ended up bouncing him back empty just so he could be home with his family for thanksgiving dinner. Whew. He literally got home at 2:30, took a shower, and then we left for his parents.
And that is just a peek in the life of a family of a truck driver. Just a peek.
Am I the Sugar, or the Spice?
Maybe I'm the everything nice... HA! I'm the mama bear of the brood. I'm a mom of two wonderful boys, and let me tell you, parenting boys is one big adventure.
My boys seem to be more "energized" than others. I have one boy, G, born 12/04. He is so full of energy it is sometimes out of control. My youngest, M, born 8/07, is seemingly always happy, and is a handful in a completely different way; he's my daredevil.
These two boys really keep me on my toes. And as if that wasn't enough; I'm also the wife of a truck driver. I love my husband more than life; almost as much as I love our children. I have never seen another man work harder for his famly than a trucker. Imagine having to leave your kids for weeks at a time...
So this is my life. And I'm here to share it with you. Step in to my comforting chaos. I look forward to sharing it with you.
