- For my kids. They are crazy and sweet and cuddly and hilarious. All at the same time. Every day is different with those three in it.
- For my husband. He has been there through everything with me over the years: the good, the bad, and the ugly. And he still sticks around despite all that!
- For my sister who knows everything about me and who I can call 24/7, 365, even if it is for the dumbest thing.
- For my parents. I see bad parents every day in my profession, which reminds me how blessed I am to have/had great ones.
- For the rest of my family. Extended family, you know who you are!
- For my job. I love my job and can honestly say I wake up every day looking forward to going to work.
- For my education. My parents instilled in me the importance of that. Regardless of what happens to me in life, my degrees are the one thing no one can take away.
- For my crabby dog, Abby (frivolous I realize). That dog was like my first born! Love her! Can't hardly sleep without her big hairy butt noozled up next to me.
- For my University of Kentucky Wildcats. If you don't understand this one, then you are probably a hater!
- For my house, car, and all the other frivolous things I have. They may be material, but I am thankful nonetheless that God has provided a means for me to obtain the things that I want.
- For my friends. I don't see them often enough, but you hookers know who you are! Love ya!
- For my health. I don't really need to elaborate on this one.
- BLACK FRIDAY! I love you Black Friday!
- The memories I have of my childhood, all happy.

Thankfulness...the abridged version
I didn't jump on the Facebook bandwagon of listing the things I am thankful for every day. Who has time for that? So, here is the condensed version:

Honey Boo Boo
Seriously, what is there not to love about this show? The hubs says it's a train wreck. Duh! Of course it's a train wreck. That's the reason I love it. I mean, the family even lives in a house in front of a train track. It couldn't be more perfect.
In all seriousness though, this family is real. Mama may not feed her kids the best diet in the world, but her and Sugar Bear seem to genuinely love their children. The parents are always doing something with the kids, taking them to the Redneck Games, out to eat, for pedicures, muddin', etc. They are making memories with the kids, which is more than a lot of parents can say.
They also seem to be civic minded.....hell Sugar Bear dressed in a Santa suit in the heat of summer in Georgia in order to get canned goods for the community! That's teaching your kids to care about others and to care about your community. Again, not to sound like my own momma, but this is what's wrong with this country....the citizens have lost their morals, values, and empathy for others. Maybe we need more Sugar Bears and Junes in the world! (Mom, if you are reading this, I am sure you are cringing as you hate Honey Boo Boo! Whatever, hate on hater! I love this show!!!!)
So Mama's forklift foot was covered in gnats, she took her kids to bingo and she allows them to eat cheese balls in bulk? Your point is?!?! She's trying....she's doing the best she can with what she has. And at the end of the day, isn't that all that matters? I think so. My house is always an explosion of toys and dirty laundry, sometimes the twins don't match, and sometimes (not that often, so don't judge) my kids go 2 days without a bath! Hell, sometimes we even eat hot dogs for dinner! But we are trying and are doing the best we can with what we have. Our kids are loved and it shows.
That's the message I think you get from Honey Boo Boo. And that's my plug for the show. Besides, what is there not to love about this hot mess:

Observations
This last weekend we headed down to Gatlinburg for a family reunion/vacation. Observations from the weekend:
1. Dramamine is safe for children and that shit works like a charm. 3 kids and a total of 12ish hours in the car and not one tear was shed! Not one!
2. Do not promise your kid a mermaid show without asking first of the mermaid show is seasonal....it was!
3. A bear sighting will unite people young and old. One came up to our cabin, my aunt shouts "BEAR!!" and 27 Pigmans came running!!
Can't wait to do it again next year! We all had a blast, thanks to our new best friend, the makers of Dramamine!
