Apparently your child's gastroenteritis episode is NOT a get out of jail free card for the next round. So we were home again (thankfully a thur/fri so he had the weekend to recover) but this morning, he had been so happy staying home with mommy that he cried and screamed "home mommy" when told we had to go bye bye to daycare. Talk about feeling like a horrible mother. This on top of the work discussion about the # of unplanned absences I have and my desire to start working from home. My father arrives today possibly with his new girlfriend..sure wish he would have given me a final answer on THAT one. So this has been just an overwhelming week. Now is the time to think about what I'm thankful for:
My son..I know it's used, but he's my air. The sun rises because he is in my life. Nothing can be bad just so long as he's happy & safe.
My Husband..yes he drives me crazy, but underneath it, I know he loves me.
My family..they love me and support me. I feel like I can achieve anything with them behind me.
My friends..they are my extended family (see above -wink wink)
Our continued health
The roof over my head is warm and dry. I have heat and food and no one hits me or yells at me or belittles me. I can take a shower & put on clean clothes.I only cry the most when I think how much I would love to give those basic things to someone else.
Really, very little else matters. Oh it does, during the day to day and week to week toil. But when you REALLY think about it, does anything else really matter?
