Thanksgiving

Well, Thanksgiving weekend is over. I can't believe it is almost December! I finally got all the shopping done and I think I'm ready..but things always come up. Being that I have a busy life, I try to get as much done as possible prior to December. I am on a strict budget this year ( as I have been in years past) because my husband just got a job (after well over a year of unemployment) and we are getting back on our feet SLOWLY! My children are getting things that are on layaway and I spent some money on clothes, but that is it. Luckily they are still young and are fine with any gift they get. I can;t wait to get a job after all this ( we pray) and Christmas will get a little better year to year. Although... this year we are so very grateful for Grandpa Lamberts recovery, our healthy children and the job we prayed for, literally for months. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays because there is not a lot of "hub-bub" around it, just being grateful for your loved ones and no gifts!
