The Obligatory Mushy Thanksgiving Post

First of all, thanks to everyone for the kind comments and emails regarding my family's recent illnesses. Everyone is fine now. Well, almost everyone...

I'm sick. Zoey decided to pass what she had onto her dear old Dad.

As a result, I'm not enjoying Thanksgiving too much. I'm here by myself (we normally go to Ella's folks' house for Thanksgiving; I had to practically kick her out the door (there's no sense in the three of them missing Thanksgiving dinner because I'm sick)), watching football and enjoying the BRAT diet (which, sadly, does not stand for Bacon, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Alcohol, and Turkey).

Now that I've gotten that out of the way, I'd like to thank you for coming here and reading my site. With all the sites out there that talk about kids, it's amazing you ended up here. I could open up my Bloglines subscriptions and easily direct you to ten sites that are funnier, better written, or more insightful (and that's before I get to the letter C). In fact—what are you still doing here? Go to DadCentric instead.

I'd also like to thank anyone who's taken the time to comment or send an email over anything I've written.

I'd like to thank everyone who's ever linked to my site and foolishly sent people my way. Especially Susan from Friday Playdate and Brian at Rebel Dad.

More Things I'm Thankful For

I'm thankful I have such a beautiful, caring, and loving wife.

I'm thankful I have two healthy, beautiful, funny, and insane (but in the good way) kids.

I'm thankful I have the opportunity to stay at home with them.

I'm thankful Nick & Jessica have officially called it quits so the media vultures can get back to what's important: digging up further proof that Tom Cruise has gone insane.

I'm thankful non-holiday and non-Super Bowl NFL games do not have halftime entertainment. All I Wanna Do... is watch football.

Finally, I'm most thankful for the fact that no matter how sick my family was this week, I didn't have to deal with anything like this. You're a trooper, Jeff.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
