november ... the time to be thankful

 
November ....
the month to be thankful.
if you've spent more than
three seconds on facebook over the
past few days i'm sure you've seen everyone
doing their daily "i'm thankful for ..." posts.

 
i mean, yes, it is precious ... it really is.
& yes, we should all be thankful.
however, most people kind of post the same things ...
you know ... family, kids, health.

 
well, me & the bestie had a text exchange
this weekend & came up with a
"keeping it real" list of
30 things we are truly thankful for.
because, we are really good at "keeping it real"
& we both happen to be 12-year-olds on the inside.

 
so, in the spirit of thankfulness,
keeping it realness, & total nonsense ...
here is our list:
 
day #1   Jesus .... duh!?!
 
day #2    sleep
 
day #3   Spanx
 
day #4   diet drinks
 
day #5   truett cathy ... amen & hallelujah!
because the chick-fil-a sandwich 
is just a blessing straight from heaven! 
 &  P.S. believe me, the pleasure is all mine!
 
day #6   hair product
 
day #7   wooden spoons ... not for cooking,
but for the great help in raising our children.
 
day #8   the real housewives of any city, any state
 
day #9   ok ... really all of bravo tv
 
day #10     the corn salsa at the chipotles
 
day #11   summer camp
 
day #12   epidurals
 
day #13  caller ID
 
day #14  that our children are no longer toddlers
 
day #15  sleep, again!
 
day #16   the google
because where else can you turn when
you can't remember the lyrics to
"barracuda" by heart?!
 
day #17   bacon
 
day #18  yoga pants
(see day #17)
 
day #19   the target
 
day #20   housekeepers
which, by the way, neither one of us have,
but we feel they provide such a wonderful ministry!
 
day #21   flat irons
i feel, if they would have been around
in the 80's we all could have been spared
some horrible embarrassment.
 
day #22   wrinkle free clothing
i can wash, dry, & fold laundry
til the cows come home,
but please don't ask me to iron.
when priss was about 4 years old, i took
out the ironing board out & i lie to you not ...
she asked me if it was something to sleep on.
that should give you some indication
how often i iron.
 
day #23   dvd players for the backseat of the car
 
day #24   extra shout of praise if those dvd players
 come with headphones
 
day #25   push-up bras
because i don't care what your science teacher told you,
gravity is not our friend, girls!
 
day #26   GPS
because i can't find
my way out of a paper sack!
 
day #27   pinterest
land of good ideas!
 
day #28   the Bible app
providing a way to carry
the Bible with you everywhere,
& also allowing you to text in church
without anyone knowing you aren't on your
Bible app ... i mean, so i hear... obviously!
 
day #29   having a bestie that is
just as immature as i am!
 
day #30   having husbands that
can tolerate our complete nonsense!

 
& there you have it...
our 30 days of thankfulness!
 
 
with thankful hearts,
emma & ash
