worst day ever.

i went out to dinner w/my husband last night cuz i was craving our old favorite restraunt in port chester, pizza, pasta & things. so since i have a bad cough, i had a glass of wine. then another because it was good.
well.
i was sick all night long. bad sick. and all morning. puking. headache. death. andy thinks it may be some sort of food poisining since seriously, i didn't drink that much. it is ridiculous.
i cancelled my first kid, and my 2nd two families were kind enough to call and cancel themselves. all my kids are sick, which explains why i also have a sinus infection. and cough. and flu-like symptoms. and i feel like an idiot going to the doc again cuz i'm pretty sure he thinks i'm a hyperchondraic. i take vitamins, which include a lot of immune system boosters and anti oxidents, but NOTHING works. i guess working with kids for a few more years will build up my system. ugh.

juliet and i made mashed potatoes for dinner (i boiled them so the skin was easy for her to peel, then she cut them. and she husked the corn on the cob.) we had our own thanksgiving as a family, with lobster instead of turkey, which my mother said was how the first thanksgiving REALLY was. not sure of that accuracy, but i loved it.

so what are we thankful for this year? it's hard to think about thankfulness through the fog of death i have over me right now,(my under nose part of my face is so raw from blowing my nose...and my nose is running again...) but i am thankful. juliet made a leaf at school that reads "Juliet is thankful for___________" and what is the little psycho thankful for? MRS. FOSTER. her teacher. who she tortures every single day of her life. she is so funny! i remember in nursery school for mother's day we were saying why we love our mommies and i said it was cuz she bought me fruit roll-ups. shallow kid i was.

anyway.

thanksgiving.
giving thanks.
for my family and good friends (who are like family) who have supported me and us and the baby throughout the last few years...i have such an amazing support system. i don't know what i'd do without it.
for having a child who is wild yet so unbelievably talented and gifted and SMART.
for the wilson, of course.
and for my three boys, farb, tade and flav. i love them too.

i would say i'm grateful for my health too, since i'm pretty much healthy except for the bullshit, but the way i feel right now, fuck that.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
