Something to be thankful for..

Being a mom of a child who spends every other weekend with his Dad is tough but it really gives me a new outlook on spending time apart from loved ones. Each year, Joey spends Christmas with me and Thanksgiving with his Dad. So, this year was not any different. I packed up his Thomas suitcase and off he went to his Grandparents in Ohio. I packed him a Thanksgiving card and a new *Webkinz* surprise in his bag. ( These little online creatures are slowly taking over children ages 4 to 12. ) When Joey got home from Ohio, he began to tell me what he did while with his Dad. He told me that he ate turkey, two bites but a "fousand" bites of stuffing. He told me that he saw his "Gemma" play volleyball and she was the best one on the team. He told me that he did not have to go shopping at all, which he does with me often. Finally, I asked him what he was thankful for. His reply, "I am thankful for stuffing and you. You smile and you look pretty when you put a lot of makeup on." What a guy?! All he needs is soggy bread and his mother to wear a lot of makeup. I just thought it was too funny.
I'm just thankful that he has so many people in his life that love him and that he loves them all right back! (makeup on or not!)
