Thankful Thursday

Today I am thankful for a lot! It's funny, since doing this last week - I was super excited to be able to post today about what I was thankful for! I was thinking about it ALL day! :-)

1. RAIN! We got a bunch of rain today - and it's still raining outside right now.  So great! We needed rain sooooo bad! And it's already cooling down - praise the Lord! I have been praying for rain for some time - a lot are suffering without rain and so this is a much much needed watering of Houston :-)

2. Naps (I think this might be a thankful thing every week haha) - Cy took a nap while Lulu cried the entire time.  BUT I was very very thankful for Cy to take a nap so I could focus on her and get her calmed down.  I'm exhausted from no break today but it's ok - because Cy got one and I got to snuggle with my baby girl

3. Snuggles - I got to snuggle with Lulu for a good hour today. Last night she slept for 6 hours straight! (She doesn't really sleep through the night yet) I woke up missing her badly - missing our every 3 hour feedings.  So today, I decided to soak it all in! I have been soaking in all her sweet cries because soon enough, they will be gone and replaced with whining (ha!) - so I'm enjoying it now! And the fact that she can sleep on my chest still and be peacful and sweet - love love love it!

4. Lunch Breaks - DH came home for lunch today because he had forgotten something at home... so it was a 5 minute visit.  Still so nice! It's nice to get a hug and kiss in the middle of a hectic, crazy day!

5. Helpful Drycleaning Lady - This company will have my business forever! I had my hands full with 2 kids and of course BOTH of them had been crying since I entered the store to pick up our dry-cleaning.  She couldn't find the clothes then her computer broke - all the while, 2 kids screaming. Yes, it was a FUN 5 minutes.  Well, instead of her handing me my stuff and shoving me out the door (something I would have done myself!) - she helped me get the kids to the car (both still screaming) and put my drycleaning up.  How sweet! You just don't see customer service like that very often anymore and it made my day!


How was your day? Hope it went well!

Thankful Thursday

I was reading a blog last night about positive thinking and how we all need to think positively throughout the day.  A positive thought can turn a day around! Being a mom of 2 has proven to be quite interesting :-) Especially when one of those 2 is extremely hard-headed, stubborn, and smart! Let's see... who is the adult here.  Ha! At times, I have no idea! ;-) I found myself crying to Ash the other night about how "bad" Cy was that day and how I don't know how much more I can take of his attitude.  And Ash snapped back "He's not bad!".  At the moment I got flustered and upset that Ash wasn't understanding. But after reading the blog, I noticed that there are so many other ways I can approach and talk about Cy's "gifts" ;-) Such as: "Cy was bored, so decided to smack baby sisa in the leg" (ha!), or "Cy was so entertained in washing his hands that he decided to poop all down his leg"... While he still needs to be reprimanded and shown the right way, saying that in my head makes it a more "positive" way of looking at the situation. 

Anyway, so I have decided to do Thankful Thursdays! I am going to say 7 things I'm thankful for each Thursday.  These things will change according to the week/day/hour I am having when writing.  Enjoy!

Ok so Today I am Thankful for:

1. MOPS! Mothers of Preschoolers - provides 2 1/2 hours every other week of class/craft/fellowship with other moms while the kids are in Moppets.  Yes, I literally get 5 hours a month of Cy-Free time! Yay!

2. Car washes and free vacuums - ha, guess where I am going after MOPS? :-D Toddler boy + snacks + ride in the car = extremely messy car

3. Swaddle Blankets :-)

4. Cycling Class

5. A husband who did 2 loads of laundry tonight, put away the groceries, and let me go to Hobby Lobby to get stuff so that I can start making Lulu's costume & bows for her :-)

6. 10 pm hour.... an hour of silence - so wonderful!

7. Shrek! - Ha, Cy's favorite movie right now and my sanity during feedings when he is exhausted and waiting for nap time :-)

What are you thankful for today??
