Thanksgiving - so much to be grateful for

I was feeling pretty tired after working on a last-minute 8 page translation that I received from one of our clients. It was harder because Angelina now knows that if mommy is not wearing her phone headset, it means she's not working, so it's perfect timing to be asking mommy to come play. So yes, it was a lot more challenging than it used to be to work.

She's been talking up a storm, too. She knows words that I have no idea she knows and surprised me. Today she wanted to color, I had put my hair up and held it with a pen. She told me she wanted to color and I had forgotten that I had a pen on my hair. So I told her "honey, I don't know where there's a pen" she answered "up there mommy, in your hair, haves that pleaz? So I said "sure" she took the pen out of my hair and said "tinti" (that means thank you) and sat down to color. I couldn't deny her the pen, how could I when she had been smart enough to notice it in my hair?" So she sat and drew circles and triangles and bananas, her 3 favorite things to doodle on the special paper she uses (paper with butterflies and flowers."

I have SO much to be grateful for, I have a little girl who is intelligent and sweet, a husband that loves me and a job that I enjoy and that I get to do from home. I'm blessed for sure, really, really blessed.
