Ten Days before Thanksgiving Carol

One the tenth day 'fore Thanks-giving, I was bless-ed to receive:

• one gigantic snot laden sneeze from Cody jolting me awake
• two hot flashes
• three reminders to brush their teeth
• four benadryl distributed
• five identical answers to Cody's question "what day is it?"
• six requests to leave the dogs alone
• seven random kleenexes found to throw away
• eight episodes of wondering "why am I a parent?"
• nine attempts to stop the dog from chewing his hair off
• ten (or more) deep breaths
