To celebrate Thanksgiving week, here is some Thanksgiving humor.

What did the turkey say to the man who tried to shoot it?
Ans- Liberty, Equality and Bad aim for all.

If the Pilgrims were alive today, what would they be most famous for?
Their AGE

The pro football team had just finished their daily practice session when a large turkey came strutting onto the field. While the players gazed in amazement, the turkey walked up to the head coach and demanded a tryout. Everyone stared in silence as the turkey caught pass after pass and ran right through the defensive line. When the turkey returned to the sidelines, the coach shouted, “You’re terrific!!! Sign up for the season, and I’ll see to it that you get a huge bonus.” “Forget the bonus,” the turkey said, “All I want to know is, does the season go past Thanksgiving Day?”

Twas the night of Thanksgiving

Twas the night of Thanksgiving, but I just couldn’t sleep I tried counting backwards, I tried counting sheep.

The leftovers beckoned — the dark meat and white, but I fought the temptation with all of my might.

Tossing and turning with anticipation, the thought of a snack became infatuation.

So, I raced to the kitchen, flung open the door and gazed at the fridge, full of goodies galore.

I gobbled up turkey and buttered potatoes, pickles and carrots, beans and tomatoes.

I felt myself swelling so plump and so round, till all of a sudden, I rose off the ground.

I crashed through the ceiling, floating into the sky With a mouthful of pudding and a handful of pie

But, I managed to yell as I soared past the trees……. happy eating to all—pass the cranberries, please

One of my favorite characters growing up was definitely Curious George.  I loved that little monkey and all the mischief that he got into.  Now, several years later, my sons are enjoying watching George’s adventures.  We also have a collection of books that we love to read.  It brings back a lot of great memories.

I’m happy to announce that Curious George is back just in time for the holidays.

Curious George: A Very Monkey Christmas tells the heartwarming story of George and the Man with the Yellow Hat as they celebrate the season together and includes three all-new holiday songs plus other classic Christmas music.

This lovable monkey’s new adventure is now out on DVD but one lucky participant has a chance to watch it for free.

Who’s going to win?

Well, so far it’s been Fatigue.  I’ve been so tired these past two weeks that I haven’t been able to accomplish all that I’ve wanted to.

I must have been delusional to think that going back to work wouldn’t affect my blogging but it has.  I haven’t been posting daily like I want to.  It’s been an adjustment.  My biggest obstacle has been fatigue.  By the time I get home, cook supper, clean, get the kids ready for bed, it’s 9:30 but it feels more like 2 in the morning.   I’m still adapting.

Of course, it doesn’t help that it is now 19 days that I have had my monthly visitor and I am still PMS’ing.  This is not usual, considering it usually lasts about 5 days.  So I’m sure I’ll feel a lot better once it is over.

I’m writing this before rushing to go to work since I should have left about 5 minutes ago.

I’ll get back on track soon with my blogging and commenting.

Thanks for your patience.

I cannot believe that it’s already been a year since I’ve been blessed with a second son.  We celebrated Tyler’s birthday over the week-end, and it was a great time.

It seems like just yesterday that I saw you for the first time

And the first time Jeffrey saw his brother

How precious those few months were

I love every minute I spend looking in your eyes

watching all your cute habits

Time goes by so fast

I hope you enjoyed your first Birthday Party.

As I will enjoy the many more moments and memories to come.

Sometimes you do things sub-consciously and it takes another pair of eyes to make you notice.

The other day, I was putting the rest of the dishes in the dishwasher and started rearranging most of the dishes that were in there.  I don’t consider myself compulsive but there were small dishes in the bottom rack, wine glasses and Tupperware next to the heat element.

Hubby:   Why do you always rearrange the dishes I put inside the dishwasher.

Me:  I do?  I’m just making space for more.  (Really, I was thinking that my way gets about 50% more dishes inside).

So, apparently,   I’m a little compulsive with the way I like the dishes set up.

I applaud the effort of course.
