Thanks Up

I had this whole post in my head to write this morning. You know, the obligatory I'm-grateful-for-mimosas-and-vacation-and-designer-purses post that comes with Thanksgiving. (what, you don't say thanks for those things?)

But then this morning happened.

M woke me by poking me in the eyeball while saying, "Wake up Momma! Time to waaaaake upppp!! MOMMA! WAKE UP. Not sleepy time anymore. No sleep! MOMMA WAKE UP NOW PLEASE."

Sure kid, I'm up.

She then headed over to her Daddy, sat on his head, and said, "Papi! Wake uuuuupp. Time to waaaakee upppp. You have good dreams? Good dreams for all! Papi! Wake upppp!!"
All I heard in response from The Husband was a few rumbles. tehehee.

Anyway.

So at that point, I was thinking I'll get M her breakfast, let her watch her morning episode of Dora, and do my blog post as mentioned above.

Except, when I turned the tv on, the movie Up was just starting. Thanks Disney. Because at 9am, I reaaallllly need my emotions to be toyed with.

Instead of putting Dora on, Up is now playing. And sure enough, I cried in the first five minutes. And then laughed when the chubby boy scout came around. I swear this movie makes me feel bipolar.

But it gave me a new view on what to be thankful for today. I mean sure, I'm grateful that M is currently bouncing on The Husband as he is still sleeping, and she's trying, in vain I might add, to wake him. And sure, I'm glad that she's an equal opportunity waker-upper, as she wakes me up with pleasure any chance she has.

But, I'm also grateful that I have a happy toddler that loves us, and a husband that has a good temperament, and a movie that reminds me that life can be full of long days, but the years? They're short.

So enjoy life as much as you can.

Happy Thanksgiving to my blogging family.

May your food be plentiful, homes warm and hearts happy.
