Thankful for my hubby who won double movie pass tickets and decided to take me out to dinner and spoil me (an extra special treat after an extremely tough homeschooling week)!
Thankful for my very thoughtful son who decided all by himself to record 'Better Homes and Gardens' for Mamma while she was out. What a sweetie!
Thankful for a very contented baby who survived on the pittance of expressed milk I could manage until I got home and lay totally relaxed on our dining room table with not a care in the world (Grandma found it the best spot to keep an eye on him) while she ...
Cleaned my entire house, managed four rambunctious children, cleaned my fridge (seriously - my fridge is in total submission and is now even aesthetically pleasing)
and all the other 'normal' things I often take for granted - good health, a family who loves me even when I get very cranky (and often over things that really don't matter that much), beautiful green grass again after the rain, a letter from my Mamma to my kids, a grandmother who is in remission from cancer, a tiny window of time to do some craft, a quiet moment to chat with my first born who missed his Mamma...
Thankyou Lord... in the good times!
( PS - Please help me to be thankful in the tough times too)
