Toosday

Posted by Kat in Life

I realized today that trash day isn’t until Friday this week. Its kind of like a personal challenge to me. Waiting out an extra day, making sure I spent my extra day wisely. I’m sure its some kind of weird sickness to look forward to trash day as much as I do but I figure I’d rather have this sickness than something really bad. LOL

We’re having Thanksgiving with my Mom, Dad, Brother and 2 (favorite) Euro-relatives that are here for the week.

Thanksgiving is my least favorite holiday. I am looking forward to a couple of days break this year but Thanksgiving still lands on the bottom of the holiday totem pole for me. I feel thankful every single day of the year. I know lots of people say that but I truly do.

Thankful that I am sane, thankful that I am healthy with lungs that work and a heart that beats. Thankful that I have 4 (relatively) healthy children that adore me when I make them cookies and have 4 little faces that light up (mostly) when they see me. I make good decisions (finally), I am a good advocate for my children and I am extremely enthusiastic about the little things.

What are you thankful for, every day of the year?

    dude, turkey day is only at the bottom of the totem pole for you because there isn’t any presents, candy or hiding eggs! :)

    you enjoy your family!!! Squeeze those kiddos for me! :)

    Was the sane thing a little joke? Hahaha j/k. I’m thankful that I have an amazing friend (don’t need to mention her name)…starts with a K. Thankful I have a roof over my head, food, heat, A/C, and my critters!

About Me

TeamRachel aka mrskatvon is both a website to gain public awareness of Juvenile Batten Disease (which affects my oldest daughter) as well as a journal to remember the events in our lives. Rachel was diagnosed with Batten Disease in July 2009 and while we knew something was "not right" we had no idea that such a nightmarish disease existed. There are dozens of nasty, orphan disease which affect people both very young and old. Aside from dealing with the changes of Batten Disease in my daughter, Rachel, I have tasked myself with making life memorable for all of my children to make sure that (at least) 3 of them grow up to be as well adjusted and happy as possible.
