Today I am thankful for so many things, and as my Mimi said this morning, "If we sat down and thought of all the things we are grateful for, we would be here quite a while." This couldn't be more true. I know it's cheesy, but in the holiday spirit, here are the first 5 things that come to mind that I am thankful for:
- A God who believes I am worthy of being a mother to one of His children.
- A husband who works hard day in and day out to provide for our family without fail or complaint; who loves his girls and keeps things interesting along the way.
- Our beautiful daughter who is happy and healthy, and who has forever changed our lives for the better.
- A family who I love to spend time with, and I know supports me and loves me tremendously.
- Friends who make me laugh, and help carry me through the rough days.
I am also thankful for
Speaking of my baby, onto Day 24: Something you've learned.
I have learned a lot since becoming a mother. Always have an extra outfit in the diaper bag. No playing airplane right after feeding. That 'smile' is not a smile. It's a push-and look out. Even in a pink dress with a headband and a pink blanket - people will still ask you if it's a boy or a girl. Kills me.
This Thanksgiving I learned a new lesson. I packed little Cham Cham a bag of adorable clothes. Clothes for 5 days at DD and Nona's. Clothes to take adorable pictures in. Clothes for days. Blankets, socks, headbands and hats. The perfect little vacay bag. I left it. Right on the floor in her cute little room. I went to get her into some PJ's last night and low & behold, no bag. No clothes. No jammies. No socks. Nothing. Not a onesie. So, instead of going out to enjoy a drink and some music last night, we were headed to the local Wal Mart to get clothes. Wonderful. So, something I have learned is to not be in such a rush that you completely forget clothes for your child. Boy, does that sound pathetic.
Until Next Time,
The Guff
