~Makes It All Worth It~

Today I'm grateful for her

For those of you who don't know her, her name is Mely. She works for me 6 days a week, for as long as i need, or want her to. She is what makes living in Mexico in the middle of the desert worth it. I'm not trying to sound braggy, but really, how ingrateful would i be if if during this season of thanksgiving, i didn't give a shout out to the woman who does my dishes, laundry, bathrooms, vacumming, dusting, sweeping and mopping, and any other job that i just don't feel like doing. i love her and without her i don't think i could survive this mexico life. (p.s. she obviously did't know i was taking the picture, she would be embarrassed if she knew i was doing this.)

i'm also grateful for baby distractors. this is roxie's new favorite "i'm not happy" distractor. rusty calls it the "chair of cheer"
