Thank Yous

I was taught that if you truly appreciate something, you should be emphatic about your thanks.  As a result, I send thank yous for everything.  I am often ostracized by certain family members for this practice, but it has remained a habit, and one I plan to teach my son.

I'm making a concentrated effort to focus on things for which I am thankful by blogging about them every so often.  I didn't have to think very hard to come up with one today.

My son was literally up ALL NIGHT.  My husband and I tag-teamed getting up with him, but I don't think I slept a wink from 12:50 on. I don't know how single people do it.  If I had ha to handle him on my own all night long, I may have throttled my son out of sheer frustration.  Okay, not really, but you get the point. Taking care of a child is so exhausting and demanding - especially when they can't sleep. I depend on my husband for so much, but more than anything last night, I was thankful his extra set of hands.
