Things I am thankful for in no particular order (and the list could go on):
- Computer time! This quick thanks is on time because Mom allows me to get some computer time! Yesterday I spend most of the day catching up on financial stuff and she and Joseph had a ball. I’m soaking it in while I can.
- Nap time! The other day I was tired and Joseph wasn’t. I asked Mom to take over so I could nap. It feels so good to follow your body signals, especially after 1 ½ years of having to ignore them. I’m soaking it in while I can!
- Grandma and Joseph bonding time. Being so far from family isn’t easy, but it is always such a blessing to see how well family comes together and loves each other using the time available for the best. Joseph loves Grandma and of course Grandma loves playing with Joseph. It’s lovely to see.
- Time and help for cooking freezer meals for when help is gone and I’ve got a toddler and an infant and have to keep house and cook alone . . .
- Christmas with Grandma!
- A supportive church community.
- A husband who gets along well with his mother-in-law (and vice-versa) even if it means they sometimes enjoy their conversation so much they don’t notice Joseph’s needs. ;)

Guilty as charged. :) Grandmother instincts are in full swing, but the motherly ones are a bit rusty. You know, the ones that can detect a small voice cooing, "Poo!" while one is in the midst of a discussion.
