A Day of Plenty

It's Thanksgiving. I'm worn out, stuffed, and have a headache. I guess, I'm feeling a little like that turkey we ate today.

But I still have some things to be thankful for--

• I'm thankful that the siding workers didn't break more than two shutters.
• I'm thankful that the garage door, though scratched by the abovementioned workers, still works.
• I'm thankful that many of the advertisements in today's huge paper included lots of power tools on sale.
  
• I'm thankful that the oven worked so that we could cook the turkey in it after the smoker broke down.
  
• I'm thankful that we remembered to remove the neck and giblets before we cooked the bird.
• I'm thankful that Kroger was open this morning so we could get the buttermilk for the cornbread dressing and lettuce for the 7-layer salad.
  
• I'm thankful that Walmart was open this afternoon so my husband could go buy the cranberry sauce that we forgot to get this morning.
• I'm thankful that we have a dishwasher so I don't have to hand-wash all those dishes.
  
• I'm thankful that the price of gas has gone down a bit, though it's still way too high.
• I'm thankful that we have two televisions so I don't have to watch the Dallas Cowboys this afternoon with my husband.
• I'm thankful that I have Extra-strength Tylenol to take for my headache tonight.
• I'm thankful that I don't have to work tomorrow, so I can sleep late--(if my husband will be kind enough to get dressed quietly in the dark when he leaves for work).
• I'm thankful for leftovers!
