Seriously, Happy Thanksgiving to all readers that celebrate it.
We celebrate this holiday each year and unfortunately, not enough people know the true story that happened on the first Thanksgiving in America. Here’s one link from Google to a Time Magazine article about it. eReal Thanksgiving
I’m picking up our food at 8am and of course, my mother already changed our plans without asking me. Now I have to go sit and deal with my uppity cousins for a few hours to eat lunch. I thought I was done with all that when I became an adult! Oh well. I told my son’s father that my mom changed our plans so my son will come with us. He has never met some of these cousins so he really needs to. That’s the only reason I agreed to go. My parents made me go to my cousins every year growing up and since I didn’t get along with most of them, I hung out with my boy cousin while the girls made fun of me for preferring to spend time with him. He and I had a blast playing with toys I didn’t have at my house like Legos and the game Risk. I only had dolls and stuff that went with them (Barbie Dream House anyone?) plus stuffed animals. So I stopped going as soon as I could (I think I was 18). This will be the first time in 26 years. Geez. I’ll have to update later!
Otherwise, I plan on watching Netflix and relaxing all day. What are you doing today?
I started thinking about this About Me part of my blog. I'm going to expand it just a little from the 3 words I had before.
I am a single mom. I love my son. We have been alone since he was 6 months old. He really is my sun, moon, and stars. I am very proud of him.
I am an entrepreneur. I started my driving business 2 years ago. I don't want to work for a "boss" ever again. I always tell people they can do it too. In what I do, there is no competition because there are plenty of people that need rides (and maybe that would help get some of these bad drivers off the roads!). I work hard and have fun on my own time doing what I like to do.
I really am a Netflix addict. When I am not working or doing something with my son, I am watching Netflix. There are so many shows that I've never re-watched anything either. I will watch anything and make my own opinion.
I am opinionated. This blog is really just my opinions and my life. People don't have to agree with me all the time. I welcome discussions and other people's opinion whether they agree or not. I'm not petty, I'm not going to block anyone for not sharing my opinion, why do people freak out these days when someone doesn't share their opinion? Who cares?!? There is a reason we all are different.
There's a lot more about me but you'll have to read the blog to find out!

Thanks for reading. I was surprised that my son didn’t know about it so figured a lot of people didn’t. They don’t teach it in school I guess!
