Thankful Thursday

Right now everyone of my kids is crying their eyes out.  Corilynn is mad that she has to clean up the mess she made in the living room.  Lyman is upset because he got in trouble for trying to pick up Ruby when I told him not to (resulting in her fall from the chair she was sitting on).  Ruby is crying because of her fall that, though did not hurt her, did remind her of how terrible life is right now while she is waiting impatiently for lunch to be ready.  I feel like crying because I have a billion things to do today to get ready for our vacation tomorrow and I feel like I am getting no help at all.  Until the corn dogs (yes I know what a pathetic mother I am for feeding them to my children) are finished cooking in the oven, I am blogging. 

I can be thankful for one thing though: I got an email acknowledgement from one of the publishers I submitted my book to saying they received it and it is under review now.  Yay!
