Thankful Thursday

It's been a funny old week. Lots of ups and downs. Some stresses about my boys, but mostly lots of feeling grateful to have them at all, along with my girls of course.

I was pretty unwell yesterday. As a result I did lots of things I never ever do. I stayed in bed and left the school preparation madness up to the supertrucker. I tried to have a nap when the small two did, but failing that I got up and had a bath for the first time since I was about 6 months pregnant. It was lovely to have the water actually cover all of my belly, and to be able to extricate myself without help. Very relaxing.

I then spent pretty much the entire day in my pyjamas on the couch. It was freezing and rainy and yucko so the hubster built a fire for me to rest in front of. And rest I did. He went and got the bigs after school in the pouring rain, and entertained the kids while I just sat around feeling a bit sorry for myself.

Truly, what an awesome hubster he is. Generally because of the the nature of his work I do 99% of the housey and kid stuff. Happily I will add. To be able to truly rest for a whole day and know that he had everything under control and the kids were fed and happy and everything else was such a blessing.

I am so blessed to have such an amazing partner, my kids are blessed to have such an involved, caring, hands-on Dad.

It's Thursday, and I am thankful.

What are you thankful for today?
