Mama hollers "Supper time, And don't make me tell you twice Wash your hands and wipe your face.The table's no place for your toys, And try to use your inside voice, Don't dig in 'til we say Grace."So we put down our forks and bowed our heads And then she prayed the strangest prayer ever said:
"I wanna thank You Lord, For noisy children and slamming doors, And clothes scattered all over the floor, My husband workin' all the time, Draggin' in dead tired at night, My never ending messy kitchen And dirty dishes."
We all got real still and quiet, And daddy asked "Honey, you alright?"She said, "Dear, ain't nothing wrong, Noisy kids are happy kids, And slamming doors just means we live, In a warm and loving home,Your long hours and those dishes in the sink, Means a job and enough to eat.
So I'm gonna thank You Lord, For noisy children and slamming doors, And clothes scattered all over the floor, My husband workin' all the time, Draggin' in dead tired at night, My never ending messy kitchen
For my little busy bees Beggin' mama, mama can you please?Always wantin' me to call their name Loads of laundry pilin' up, crayons crushed into the rug. In those little sticky kisses And dirty dishes, And dirty dishes...

I am Thankful for. . .
Instead of posting what I am Thankful for everyday on facebook like a lot of other people do in the month of November I am just going to write one big blog and get it all out. I have never been one to follow the crowd and do what every one else is doing but I do have a lot to be Thankful for.
I am thankful for my parents for giving me life if it weren't for them I would not have anything to be thankful for. God who cured me of cancer when I was a child which allowed me to have such a wonderful life.
I am also thankful that God also cured my wonderful husband of cancer too. Donna Brown who had a dream to create a camp for kids with childhood cancer. If she would not have built Camp Hope into what it is today I would not have my wonderful husband in my life. If I wasn't a typical woman and nag and try to control things we would never argue. She supports everything I want to do never. Even 2 years ago when I told him I wanted to go to the CMA award show in Nashville, TN he planned to whole thing with out a second thought. This was huge for me. It has been the highlight of my life to get go watch the show live. And we are planning go again in a year or two. He is the most patient man I know. He handles "girl" drama very well which is a great thing because there will soon be 4 girls in this house.
Thankful that my in-laws drop anything to help with our kids in a time of need. I have call on them twice in the past few months because we have had to rush off the the E.R. Once because of me and once because of Dillon. And not just my Mother and Father in-law but even all of the Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins in-law have welcomed me into their family with open harms and smiles.
My 2 beautiful and soon to be 3 beautiful daughters and my ornery son. They all make me laugh, cry, and worry like crazy about them, but I am thankful for that. They are all very respectful and kind to others.
I am thankful that this pregnancy is going so well I just pray I can keep this sweet little baby girl in to at least 37 weeks and for that I will be so thankful for.
My friends and church family.
And most of all I am thankful for God because I would not have a wonderful life if it wasn't for all his answered and unanswered prayers. I am thankful for him most of all.
Have a Happy and Safe Thanksgiving everyone and enjoy your family and hug them tight and enjoy making new memories and reliving old ones.
