Thankful Thursday - Stay-at-Home Moms | Forums | What to Expect (2024)

Wow! That's a lot of breadmaking!

I'm also thankful for Amazon and dishwashers. I don't use my mixer as often anymore but it definitely is a fabulous invention, especially when making bread!

I'm thankful for one year with my daughter! She turns one today! 😭 Where has my baby gone?! Being her mama is the best thing ever and I wouldn't trade this for anything.

I'm thankful for the time spent with family. My in-laws were here for a week and then my parents. We had a small, intimate little birthday party for her and we went to the rodeo. My mom and I finally got my dad to the lake and we took a fun drive into Canada for a day. I managed to stay on the paddle board. Don't ask me how, but I did, three times!

I'm thankful for physical therapists. I am in physical therapy for my neck and pelvic floor and my right arm will be added to the mix in a couple of weeks. Thankful for insurance and getting this all done before it ends at the end of September. I'm thankful for doctors who can diagnose my problems and give me treatment options.

I didn't post last week, but I'm thankful that my MIL painted the hallway and stairway and my FIL helped my husband with the ceiling dry wall and mudding. Last thing is putting in the lights, texturing the ceiling and painting. We are getting our house sellable in case we have to move for a job, so projects are finally moving along. Windows are getting trimmed and my husband is putting in a new banister. The existing one is not up to code and we've had a net there for our daughter. The new one in the small section he's done looks so good! Thankful for a handy husband.

I am thankful for a rainy lazy day. We’re staying in our pjs today. I’m also thankful for a full night of sleep. My soon-to-be-one-year-old is cutting 2 teeth so we have had sleepless nights, but last night I put him to bed at 7pm, he briefly woke up at 10:30 but put himself back to sleep by 10:35, and slept until 7am!!!

Last week my senior dog (almost 12 years old) started losing fur in a big patch on his back. My husband and I agreed that unless he was bothered by the area or the skin started to look bad, we would hold off on taking him to the vet, since it was probably allergies and we just upped his medication dose 1.5 weeks ago. Well, Sunday it was red, irritated, and bleeding. I took him to the vet Monday, expecting the worst because of his age, and it’s a bad skin infection, treatable with antibiotics. So I’m thankful it’s not something worse.

I am thankful today is Thursday, as that means we are close to the weekend.

I am thankful morning drop off went well for one of my sons . It’s a new drop off procedure compared to first day of school (yesterday) and last school year.

I am thankful my one son had a positive experience with school lunch today. Last school year he wasn’t a fan of school lunch. Glad he’s warming up to school lunch idea. He said he will take some days depending on what is on the school lunch menu.

I am thankful for the wonderful teachers my kids have.

I am thankful for all the growth and progress my kids have made. They truly have grown a lot since preschool two years back.

I am thankful for the progress my kids have made with sleeping in their own room. I am thankful my husband was open to trying to get the kids to sleep together without parents again , and all the work he’s putting into it.
