Thankful Sunday-29 June 2008

I am thankful for....

~the unmoving, non-changing rock that is my Mommie (yes, I call her that...or Ma)

~that my baby sis is growing up & I have not had to kill or her or had the notion to (not something I could say 3 yrs. ago)

~my apartment. I have been unemployed for almost 1 yr. & my folks have footed the bill (Thanks Old People)

Their 40th High School Class Reunion---seat dancing

~my nephew Cameron Isaiah. When I walk into the room I am all he sees. He forgets his Grandma (his caregiver while my sis in in school & @ work), his Granddaddy who screams his name. I couldn't do what I was suppose to do back home b/c he fussed every time I left the room. To be loved so much is a blessing.

~my Mommie taking me grocery shopping and spending time finding food that she "thinks" I should be eating. (I have lost a lot of weight during my unemployment. Parents are getting concerned.)

~my cousin Randall. My baby died last Saturday. He gave me 1 of his old phones. Not in the same game as my baby but I do have a phone.

~my cousin Chase. Emailing me & saying he still is missing me in Hawaii. How am I going to let him go back to Iraq? I stole his combat pillow...do you think that will help?

~my cousin Randall. He always makes me feel cherished. In his mind I am still that little girl who needs watching. (He was the designated walker w/ me to & from elementary school. My independent self made him walk behind me b/c I could do it myself!)

~my baby Platinum. She has been without me for 2 weeks. When she finally walked out of the bathroom (loves the cold tiles) she was sooooo happy!

~my Sony Vaio!!! It helps me keep in touch w/ all of you and the world wide web! What did I do before?

~Mommie giving me baby sis's dishes when we THOUGHT she was going off to school. (Pregnant her senior yr. @ home going to college.)
