I went in this morning for my flu shot, which I have been putting off as hubs got so sick with his and he rarely gets sick. But I have nothing planned this weekend and I wanted it done before Thanksgiving. I still need my second shingles shot but will have that in a couple of weeks. I received the shot at the pharmacy and picked up a few more cans of veggies with coupons for .25.
Yesterday we spent the day with Oliver who was not as cranky. But we fed him his Aunties breast milk for his first two bottles and then I let him suck on a peppermint stick for a bit. Kelsa had a check up yesterday and shots. We brought her home with us while daughter taught dance. She only weighed 8.11 at her three month check up so doctor wants her to gain weight. I told daughter that she only weighed 14 pounds at a year old and I thought Kelsa was fine. She is a little floppy but so was Schmills at 3 months. It was nice to spend the day with the babies. I cleaned house for daughter and we tried to get a few more things hung in the house.
We have been encouraged by the President of our church to be more grateful and thankful during this time of world wide crisis. And I am ashamed to say that I knew all along that this was the answer to the blah sad feelings I have been having. Rather than seeing all the bad things that are happening and all the things we cannot do, we need to look at what we can do. We will always have sadness and problems in our lives, it is harder when you know everyone is having these problems and there is nothing you can do about it. So for the next while I will be focusing on things I am grateful for in my life.
I am thankful for my children who bring me so much joy and laughter. I am thankful for my grandchildren, they are so much fun and when they are not I can give them back.😀 I am thankful for having enough food in my pantry and the ability to go to the store and get what I need. Many cannot do this.
I took pork steaks and applesauce out of the freezer for dinner which I will serve with a salad and sweet potatoes. The shop has been rather busy today and I need to get in there and organize. I am thankful for the work that is coming in as it has been rather slow.
Lil sis just popped in on her lunch hour to have me hem a long sweater that she was wearing. It had been given to her by a co worker as it was too long for her. So she wanted to go meet said co-worker with the sweater shortened. So she could brag about her on the spot alterations. What a nut. We laughed the whole time I was fixing the sweater. Lil sis is going with boy friend for the Holiday and I will watch her dog and go down and feed her cats. Rosco loves to have company. We will have 4 dogs here Thanksgiving day. Yippee!
I need to call my Sissie and I hope she answers.
Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.
What are some things you are thankful for?

My daughter weighed 6 pounds and 19" when she was born and only 15 pounds when she was a year old. She was tiny. Then, she was short as an adult. Well, 5' 4", so she seemed just right to me all along. I don't remember her 3 months weight, but it was not much.
ReplyDeleteI am grateful for my 3 wonderful children, 4 grandchildren, my health such as it is. It could be worse. And, I am grateful for food and the ability to get what I need. And, I am grateful for Tommy.
My younger daughter was floppy at 3 months, but she was just so relaxed and did not startle easily. She was accustomed to everything before she was born, so she slept through everything and just went with however we held her. Well, that is my opinion. But, I knew floppy could be a problem.
DeleteYou are a blessed woman.
DeleteI had been very sad about not seeing my grandbaby in SLC. I had to cancel two trips because of Covid, so it has been a year since I have seen her. But I will visit when this mess is over. I am so happy all four of children are alive, especially the oldest son since he was in ICU in May, June. Just grateful everyone is alive.
ReplyDeleteThat is truly something to be grateful for. We lost our second daughter to birth defects and our youngest had toxic shock and we almost lost her. I understand completely.
DeleteI am missing seeing my mother, but am very thankful she has such loving people caring for her. Hope you have a cozy and productive weekend, my friend.
ReplyDeleteThanks Billie. That would be hard not being able to see your mom.
DeleteI miss seeing our sons, but thank heavens for phones.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I know, right? Daughter #2 is on her way down with Kelsa!
DeleteI am thankful for so many things that I could not begin to list them all.
ReplyDeleteAs we all should be my friend.
