Today has dawned hot and sunny. It's almost like it's mid-June or something. Oh wait. :-)
Without further adieu, I'm thankful for ...
Pancakes.
Kids who like pancakes.
A husband who likes pancakes.
Hot weather and the way it smells. (Hot grass? Hot concrete? What is that smell, exactly?)
Beans. Especially pinto beans, which actually cook in a couple of hours, instead of red beans, which take me exactly 3 1/2 days to get somewhat soft.
For the nice lady who talked to me last night at McDonalds. I'd taken the kids down for a snack and to run around in the play place. The lady was a nice Hispanic lady who was there with her grandsons. We sat and laughed about the kids running wild.
Everywhere I go, people look at my three munchkins, smile and say, "You've got your hands full!" I always smile back and think, "What will they say when I have four? Or more?"
That's when it'll become antagonistic, I'm sure.
Everywhere I go, I notice people with only one kid. Is that the "oops" kid? It's always young couples, so I'm betting yes. I almost never see larger families. Three kids is about the limit. Even Hispanic and black families don't have that many. California is weird.
Edit: Also, just had to be reminded that today's our sixth anniversary. Oy. I hadn't even thought about it. We're beat from this week, so we'd only planned to lay around the house all day. Happy anniversary to us and Father's Day to my hubby!

Isn't today your anniversary? I mean the weather is a million degrees and I was thinking it was like when you got married.
That is a nice list and yep, people start getting nasty at 4 and then downright rude at 5 and then by six they start repeating China's one child policies and asking how you can love so many children. Yep, it isn't just California it is the world. :) I am glad every day I had six. :)
Ack, it IS our anniversary! I forgot all about it. I'd better edit that in.
