To keep the grouchies away...

... be thankful.  And today is potentially grouchful.  It is cold and I don't like cold.  Only took 1 day this year for me to be done with being chilled.  And Nya is feeling yuck, so we're foregoing our second trip to the orchard, which is more favorite for me than my kids.

So, to keep away the grouchies, I will be thankful for fall, in all it's *gulp* glory.
