Thankful

Working two jobs right now, along with taking care of a sick baby and a sick husband...makes for a sick and exhausted momma.
I was in bed and asleep before 8:30 last night.

Blog, posts about thankfulness, email, dishes, laundry, Facebook and all unnecessary things have taken backseat to living, loving and snuggling.

Today, I am thankful for patience, understanding, forgiveness and forgiving.

I'm falling behind.

Thursday, November 4, our sweet girl woke up in the middle of the night. Screaming. Mommy slept because she had to work and Daddy stayed up with her.
Friday, November 5, a trip to the doctor deemed our baby girl has one of the nastiest head colds I've ever seen. She has a cold not only in her chest/head but also in her eyes :(
So, here are my thankfuls that I've fallen behind on. I apologize but there's a sweet strawberry blonde-haired girl that has really needed her mommy lately.

Friday: I am extremely thankful for a teacher, leaving on maternity leave, to entrust me with her students. Thank you S, for writing such extensive plans and for taking time out of your busy day to show me the ropes.

Saturday: I am thankful for my church family, who welcomed my husband into the program of taking the steps to become Catholic.

Sunday: I am thankful for Tylenol Cold medication to help alleviate my husband's nasty cold symptoms. Thank you, dear daughter, for sharing with Daddy.

Thankful Day 4

After waking up with a migraine yet again (day 3 of this nonsense), having to tell my daughter "No" because she tried to bite me when I was attempting to put her shoes on, and leaving her  crying hysterically at day care, I am thankful for....


My Lord and Savior.

Thank you for loving me, grumpiness and anger and all. Thank you for giving me peace and a softened heart after this morning.
Thank you for giving me the ability to wiggle my ears without touching them and for the ability to be somewhat crafty.
Thank you for blessing me with the most amazing husband, family and for giving us the most beautiful baby girl I could have ever asked for. She is our miracle - Thank you.

Day 2 and 3 of being Thankful

Yesterday was crazy busy and combine with a migraine, so I missed out on writing day two.


Day 2: I am so incredibly thankful for the science of modern medicine and ExcedriN Migr@ine formula. Seriously. It saved my head from completely falling off.


Day 3: I am beyond thankful and blessed for such an amazing husband who takes pity on a migrained-momma and helps me get the baby ready for daycare. A huge THANKS to our daycare ladies who love our daughter as much as we do. It hurt to see her so upset when I left, but I know that she is in loving hands and that she is loved as much as we love her!

Day 1 of Thankfulness

I saw on another friend's blog about the idea of writing something that we are thankful for, once a day for however long you decide. (Thanks for the idea, Jen).

Today, I am thankful for a job and for a wonderful daycare to watch after my sweet girl.
I am also incredibly thankful for sunshine and coffee!
