What are you thankful for this Thanksgiving?
I am thankful for my husband, my family, my health and strength, and the man upstairs.

Okay, let's talk about shopping. I am a die hard Black Friday shopper. I have however been very disappointed the last 5 years because I am up at 3am, running around like a chicken with my head cut off and still not able to obtain anything on my A-list. I actually cried last year because I was not able to obtain a door buster item I really wanted. (Yes, I am a drama queen and I know its over the top to cry about a Black Friday item!).
This year is different because I am starting with a B and C list. I am also enlisting the help of my sisters and we are starting at 10pm with the midnight sales. We are going hard from 10pm until 3am and then again from 10am to 2pm. Also I am not going for the hot items with only 2 per store. I am shopping for three Christmas trees, odds and ends, and a few ornaments on Black Friday.
My husband and I are buying ourselves a riding lawn mower for Christmas. I wanted a juke box or an automatic pool cleaner but those received the thumbs down from my sweetie. Maybe a juke box for Valentine's Day and a pool cleaner for our 1st wedding anniversary on July 8, 2010.
Back to Black Friday. I also have client meetings in the early evening so I can't go to bananas this year which will be better for my stress level and my wallet.
My plan was to wind things down a little during the Holidays however I am busier than ever. I will never complain about being busy especially with this economy. I will travel up north to visit clients near Akron and travel to Ashland, KY to meet with several clients in the Ironton, Ohio and Ashland, KY area. I will also be in Louisville, KY next month the KY BON meeting and I am sure that I will be in Columbus, Ohio for a meeting or two in December. I am not sure if I will attend the IN BON meeting in December.
I am thankful for my nurse clients who hire me to assist them during a very difficult time of their professional career. I am also thankful for being blessed with a career that I love. I can honestly say I can't think of one thing that I would prefer to be doing for living other than what I am doing now: helping nurses.
