September Give Thanks, Week 1

September 1:
     Thankful for a very long, quiet nap today. I honestly needed every second of it, because of this horrible sickness.

September 2:
     Even if its 10 minutes, I am still thankful for those 10 minutes of adult time I get. I always need some adult conversation, here and there, so I don't feel like I'm going crazy!

September 3:
     Thankful that while out in public today (which is rare these days), BOTH of my kids were amazing! No tantrums, no crying, and only a 5 second upset when I took away some ribbon from Brian, who shouldn't have grabbed it in the first place. It was a great, well needed, adventure OUTSIDE the house.

September 4:
    Fruits and vegetables, oh how thankful I am today to have some FRESH fruit and veggies!! Our budget has been tight, and I have been slowly buying only what I need, but today I NEEDED an apple, so I got one! I really really am thankful for it.

September 5:
     Thankful today to have our master bedroom quilt TOP done!! Yay. Now I just need to find the money to buy batting and the back.... yeah, that might take a minute. BUT the tops done!

September 6:
     Thankful today for a small family bike ride. Its always nice to get a little workout in with a family activity. Plus I get to use my new bike.

September 7:
     Thankful for a decent dinner meal. I know it sounds silly, but when the budget is tight, you eat a lot of the same foods over and over again. Tonight, I made delicious tacos... yum, and yum!

Give Thanks,
Sarah

March Giving Thanks, Week 4

March 22:
     Thankful for new chairs. We really needed them! Its sometimes the small things.


March 23:
     Peace and quiet, alone time; that's what I am VERY grateful and thankful for today. A break from the world to think and be happy inside and out.

March 24:
     Thankful for my husband finally being able to get his wisdom teeth out. The pain is a bummer, and a hate seeing him feel so miserable but hopefully in a week or two when he is back to normal he can smile and know he wont have anymore tooth pain because of those dang teeth!

March 25:
     My little baby is getting so big so fast. We purchased his big boy seat today. I am thankful for his big boy seat, and the feeling of him being safe, but its all very emotional for me as well. He sure does love to look out the window though!

March 26:
     Thankful for a special night with my oldest son and husband as we watched Frozen for the first time. Wonderful way to end the day.


March 27:
     I am so proud and excited and overly thankful for my oldest son eating ALL of his lunch! Its an awesome feeling when we all sit down for lunch and all I hear him say is; "Yum! Mmmmm. So good Mama." When he finished the last bite I was so excited for him, and we high-fived and I made a HUGE deal out of it! Lets just say he has never once cleared his plate.

March 28:
     I have sewed, I have done some spring cleaning, I have enjoyed a movie night, and I have finished the book I was reading (and started another). I am so thankful for all these small moments of personal achievements or personal time, etc. It has been a great week and I can only look forward to this weekend!

Give Thanks,
Sarah
