Thankful times, routine, nitche'-Good things coming together...

Thanksgiving-What are you thankful for? Everyday despite my "hurdles" just like any normal person I have been choosing to be POSITIVE instead of negative. I have to tell you, with lack of sleep lately and I am talking NO SLEEP due to changes with the trio, and navigating time changes, and just overall nervousness for not having a job as of yet and money concerns (Like any normal American!) I just never sleep well. It was funny, my best friend Kamra and I were talking this morning before we left to head home from her home after our sleepover and I told her I am that mom that wakes with every cough, sigh, sniffle, shuffle, you name it! And she is the opposite, dead asleep where as her hubby is like me! Funny because her life and my life have followed a very close path this nearly 13 years now! She had darling twin daugthers in 2004 and then 18 or so months later another daughter. Me, well you know my twinsers and then one year later lady Violet came into our world! We are military spouses who at one point where active duty Air Force that met in basic training and were best friends from the very beginning! We were those two girls that were annoying and funny as hell! We would joke about anything, anyone and had so much FUN in basic training! So many amazing memories. I was lucky to remain close to another brother flight member too-we were stationed together at our second base together and we still talk!! What a small world! As always I digress it would seem! I remain positive-because I must-because my kids need that from me-because I NEED IT FROM ME AND FOR ME! Next I made a Facebook page that is dedicated to my endeavors, my jewelry making, my Herbalife that I sell and my 31 products that I sell. Although I do not plan on shoving it down anyone's throat-it is my "Job" currently so I have to try my hardest to make some small income as best as possible! I have found beauty in the things I make, I create! I am currently making our headboard on our bed-my cousin made her's years ago and I remember wanting to do that so I have been slowly working on it and this coming weekend it should be good to mount on our wall! We get our household goods this coming Friday and we will spend all weekend unpacking and getting our house ready and set! I cannot wait! Our house although not super amazing, no beautiful house, no amazing kitchen, etc..It will be OUR HOME. I will make it our home and I am so excited! Our kids will have separate rooms and I am so excited to be giving that to them! Simple things right? Simple blessings... Finally this Sunday I will be taking the kids and I to our very first church here in Florida! It is Calvary based which essentially means non-denominational Christian. That is what I grew up in and what the kids and I havebeen going to for years! God has given me so many blessings and I am just overcome by love and gratitude and so I feel it very important for me to find a church home. I would like to give back and perhaps meet some other mom's with young kids, some friends my age and all of that. Lastly on Monday I have to meet with Civilian Personel and there might be a very awesome job opportunity for me here. I will not say too much until I know more but simply all I ask is PRAY and send me positive vibes please. A job is needed, sadly we are not lucky enough to have one income right now. This would afford our little family of 5 a bit more and not have to be so very tight with our money. My gluten free diet is so pricey at times and with the holidays on the brink I have found myself just a tad panicked but I know God has a plan for me, for our family. Thank you all for the kind words, the blessings, the love. May you all be blessed and safe. Until next time-- Much love--The Little Family of five now in Florida!!!
