Is anyone else’s Facebook page filled with their friends’ daily posts about what they’re thankful for? Apparently it’s become an annual “Thanksgiving Challenge” that lasts the entire month of November. And at this stage in the game, even the most determinedly Blessed are straining to rise to the challenge. This morning a local acquaintance, a relentlessly cheerful Southern gal who has the most amazing ability to talk for minute after minute without coming up for air, posted that she was “thankful for the fact that both boys have their drawers full of socks and underwear.” Glory Be and Praise Jesus! Last week she was grateful for her dog groomer working in an “emergency groom” for Muffin, and before that she has been grateful for laundry detergent and rotisserie chicken.
well, I am thankful for your posts. because I am seeing the same thing. Glory, indeed, for the emergency groom. god knows my dog hasn't even had a bath in weeks.
ReplyDeleteyes, I have moved from a place where I had pre-kid connections, but just barely. I think that I'm just too weird for the south. I mean, I don't even use paper towels! what kind of crazy hippie stuff is that?! hahah.
whenever I spot a mom with mismatching clothes or (gasp) hair that hasn't seen a blow dryer, I make nice small talk to feel out whether we might just get along. : )
For a half a second I thought I recognized the "relentlessly cheerful Southern gal who has the most amazing ability to talk for minute after minute without coming up for air" but you said acquaintance. ;)
ReplyDeleteThis is some funny stuff right here. Love that first comment. Off to check her out...
Well rotisserie chicken is a plus, but I'd stop short of Blessing. Have I told you that I lived in Kentucky from five to fifteen and that I married a Texan?
