I am thankful for so many things but most of all I am thankful for my family!!! Being from a family with six kids can have its chaos but mostly it is great and I am so thankful to God for allowing all six of us to be together this wonderful Thanksgiving!!!

I'm so excited!!!!!

I know this is probably not going to be as exciting to all of you as it is to me but this afternoon I was sitting in my much needing to be cleaned house and for some reason I told the boys to get dressed because we were going to Lake Wales Mall. No idea why but we were going. (I actually thought I could use my Kirklands gift card that I got last Christmas but evidently Kirklands is no longer there) So anyway, we walk into the mall and the first store the boys see is Game Stop! Not my favorite but definately theres!!! So John and Alex are up front playing Wii and Cass and I are looking around for a possible Birthday gift for John who will be 10 on the 30th. So, this young guy walks in and goes to the register and is asking about trading in a game of some sort and because I am nosy I listen. It is a PSP (which John would DIE for) and he is wanting to trade it in for cash. After checking it out the worker tells him that PSP trade ins are $50. He asks the young man for the cord and he informs him that he doesn't have the original cord, he has a car charger. Not good enough, that will be $15 off so they are offering this guy $35 dollars for a practically new PSP. So being the frugle mom that I am I walked right up to the young man and told him I would give him $50 for the PSP and he was so happy he even threw in a free game!!!!! YEAH!!!! I got John John a PSP for fifty bucks!!!! I know that God is a busy man but isn't it great that he had time to send me to Lake Wales!!! Now if you see John John don't say anything, because he is not getting it until next Sunday!!! Anyway! Not so exciting for you, but great excitement for me (and my pocket book) Have a "JOY"ful Day!!!
