Since we got back from vacation it seems as if everything is happening at once. You all heard my story about the Cha’Turkey. Well it didn’t stop there. Although, I still can’t believe I forgot about a Holiday. I never forget Holidays birthdays are a whole other story but Holidays….

Hubby is great but it seems as if I am having some issues. I can’t get enough rest or something is going on. I feel like a blob and nothing has changed. I am not depressed (already thought about that one.) I keep thinking maybe it’s the weather change but nope; don’t get me wrong its cold but not that cold yet.

I think I am going through the change of life. Yesterday, I was fine; ok I was fine at first… I went to the grocery and that is all it took. I didn’t even make it inside the store and I was already going off on some old man. This man really made me angry and that doesn’t happen. Here is the story. …

I was sitting in the truck waiting on a car to back out of its spot (not blocking traffic, they were in the process of backing) when the truck behind me starts honking its horn. Yes, I had my turning signal on. I totally ignore the obnoxious honking but he keeps doing it. After about the 3^rd time I couldn’t take it. I laid on my horn too.  Made me feel better my horn was a manly horn. I then see this squatty pick-up truck slowly going around me, turning in front of me almost hitting the front end of my truck and the car that is backing out. (I totally understand the car was taking a while to finish backing but it was an older lady.) I figured ok he must have not wanted to wait. Then I lost it; that SOB took my parking space. It really wasn’t even that. The think that really ticked me off was that he waited as long as he did and was ugly about it. Yea, I did lose my cool but was polite. I waited until this man stepped out of his truck and being the nice person that I am (I really was being nice) I asked him if he seriously thought I was sitting there for nothing. He replies with I didn’t know what you were sitting there for Ma’am. OMG that is when I seriously lost it. Here is some 90 year old man calling me Ma’am. He seriously needs to learn some manners. Ma’am is something you say to your elders out of respect. WTF. I am only 33 years old and sooo not hit elder.

I didn’t want him to move his truck but I did want an apology. He should have known better. It wasn’t even so much of the spot because there were two other cars leaving like two spaces away but it was the point. See what I mean; that came out of nowhere.

This morning HOLY COW! Hubby and I went to take care of some business and on the way home we stopped at Dairy Queen to get a biscuit and gravy in drive-thru. I seriously got upset because he didn’t want anything and that he stopped for me so I didn’t have to get back out. (I know something is wrong) Oh, and the fact that he had just eaten a bowl of cereal about an hour before so he wasn’t hungry.  After he dropped me off and he headed to work I was sitting our dining room eat one of my favorites (my biscuit and gravy that I didn’t have to cook) I started crying not even really crying but out-right balling my eyes out (for no reason what so ever) after about 5 minutes it stopped completely.

Do you see now what I mean? There is something seriously wrong with me.  Hopefully, it will go away soon but dang STOP IT NOWWWW!

Just to let you all know… I am not hearing voices in my head or anything like that just the roller-coaster. Holy COW the coaster has to stop sometime. The stupid little things are killing me.

I just wanted to let you all know that I haven’t forgotten about everyone that reads my blog. I am just working through some things. Hubby laughs at me then I get mad but I can’t stay mad because he makes me laugh in turn laughing at myself. Crazy huh?  Lmao

Check back tomorrow for Random Tuesday Thoughts the way it looks it might be a good one.

This one is for Momspective (Julie) she mentioned it was her favorite so I found it.

Happy Thanksgiving
(with apologies to Clement Moore)

‘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 beets,
beans and tomatoes.

I felt myself swelling
so plump and so round,
’til 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.

May your stuff be tasty,
May your turkey be plump,
May your potatoes and gravy
Have nary a lump.

May your yams be delicious,
May your pies take the prize,
May your Thanksgiving dinner
stay off your thighs!

There is no way possible to say or list everything that I am Thankful for in my life. With the holidays approaching and Thanksgiving here already I figured it’s high time to sit and think about it.

Right now I have a chaturkey in the oven and sitting at my computer but earlier Joe and I visited my dad’s house for the holiday. As a lot of family’s now it’s just come when you want the food is ready. Most houses are not big enough for the whole family at once. Sad but true. So, in our family it’s pretty much eat and go.

I always cook for Joe and I on the holidays even though we always go to families. Kind of my tradition, I always cook for my little family (the two of us) although I cook way too much for just 2 he gets tired of left over’s.

What am I thankful for? Well, the same as everyone else I guess. I am definitely Thankful for my family, friends, my health, our home and possessions. We might not have much but what we do have it ours.

Something I do wish people would think about. As much as they have their own problems why try and put more on other people. Everyone has their own stuff to deal with; it’s not that people do not want to help but people need to think about some people might not be able to help and it only makes them feel worse when they can’t.

Please everyone be Thankful for what you have and what you will receive in the future because you never know when it will be taken away from you.

Remember the meaning of Thanksgiving and treat everyone like you would want to be treated. You will win in the long run. The good does out-weigh the bad it just might take the good a while to come out. Remember, not everyone is against you and maybe if we all try together we can make this world a better place.

If you are still wondering what a chaturkey is well here is goes. On Tuesday I mentioned I forgot about Thanksgiving being so close because of our vacation. I was given a turkey that looks like a chicken. It’s in a Perdue package and has giblets but the nutritional information says serving size is 3 oz of chicken. So, that is where chaturkey derived from. Needless to say our chaturkey is being cooked like a turkey and served like a turkey so we are having a chaturkey. I am THANKFUL for our chaturkey because of my forgetfulness but the main thing is I am will be eating our chaturkey with my most wonderful husband that puts up with me even on my bad days. I am blessed to have him and he means the world to me.
