another day of thanks

Carpenter's Portrait Christmas is one of the best albums E.V.E.R.

Today was kind of an "eh" day so it was a little more difficult for me to be super excited about deciding what I was especially grateful for today. It was just one of those days that didn't go exactly how I had planned it. The babes were driving me nuts-o and I had to put Brock on Time out about a thousand times, which doesn't really work by the way. (I have to find time this week to go to the library and check out some parenting books because if I don't, I may only have one child turning 2 in a month. I kid, I kid.)

So today I am Thankful for Christmas music:

To most, this probably sounds a little crazy but honestly it's one of the best things to calm myself and the boys down. We mostly listen to it when we are in the car. Every year I usually start listening to Christmas music around the beginning of October. Fall is one of my favorite times of year because I feel like is the beginning to all the fun holidays. I think the boys were destine to love Christmas music from birth because I was listening to it while they were in my belly as well. Joaquin starts to get a little irritated with the music but he will still tolerate it just because he knows it make us all happy. Anyway, I know that's kind of a silly thing to be thankful for but I really do love it. Always have and I always will.

I completely agree! I love Christmas music. Andrew is not a big fan, though. But it always puts me in a better mood.
I feel for you with the time outs, too. We are doing time out with Johnny and it seems to take forever to work. OH Motherhood.

Oh you know how I feel about Karen!! If it makes you feel better, I was humming Christmas music last night and Wade was like, "Really? Christmas music already?" Ha ha! Come see me. We'll listen to Carpenter's Christmas together...just like the Guatemala days!
