Truth Is Thursday...

Truth is... I've been in quite a mess lately.

Truth is... The roofer came on Monday, ripped off and replaced the roof, ran out, and had to come back on Tuesday.  Tuesday night it poured... and none of it was in my kitchen, or in my walls.

Truth is... Basketball season has started for both of the boys which means we'll be busier than ever after 6pm weeknights.  Tony has decided to be the assistant coach of Youngest's team.  This means that I'll see him even less and that every conversation around the kitchen table will involve lay ups, hypothetical plays, muscle memory, and strategy.  It also means that he's taking an interest in the boys activities, supporting them, being a positive role model for them, and giving me a much needed 1.5 hours of time at night to get other things done.

Truth is... the back door of my house is 75 years old, custom sized, and wood.  It has duct tape over the cracks to keep the bugs out.  Saturday my Dad and Tony are re-framing and installing a new larger fiberglass door with keypad entry.

Truth is... work has been crazy.  Really crazy.  I am sore.  I am tired.  I am employed. My paycheck will pay the mortgage, put food in our bellies, and heat our home.

Truth is... We've been running back and forth to the mechanics all week with both cars.  Both were minor fixes, and despite the inconvenience, we still have two functioning cars.

Truth is... today is Thanksgiving,

....and I've never been so happy to be in the beautiful mess that I'm in.
