Only the so called scheduled posts aren't exactly done yet. Which I am pretty sure doesn't surprise many of you. Of course there is still time as we haven't exactly left yet but that time is quickly being occupied with stupid things like packing and cleaning the house. Apparently leaving the house resembling a bomb site is not the done thing when your little sister in law is coming to house sit.
On top of all the cleaning, reorganising and decluttering that has been going on within these four walls I have also had to ensure that holiday fun has been available for Miss Z. In her mind ripping everything out of every cupboard only to put half it back in is not exactly her idea of fun (who would of thought?)
So with only two days to go before we leave on our plane ride there is still much to be done. Everywhere. I had planned on getting at least a few posts out the way last night, but opted for sitting on the couch with a movie and some basket weaving. The new plan was to get up early and write while the kids were sleeping and biscuits were baking. Only the kids were up before me and the thought of baking was no where near as appealing this morning as it was last night.
As much as I love writing and feel better when I have done so I wasn't going to bother this morning. Even though it is Thursday, and even though Thankful Thursdays are some of my favourite posts I still wasn't going to bother. After all I will be hard pressed to make the time to read all the other participants so missing one week would be ok.
While I was drinking my morning coffee, (which takes place here incase you were wondering)
I was also checking in on Twitter to see what I had missed since last I was there. That was when I came across Kate's tweet for her TT post. Which I went and read. You can too.
After reading it I thought, you know what? I should make the time to be thankful. I have so much to be thankful for. So here I am with just some of what I am thankful for this week.
- The safe arrival of my first nephew. Who by the time I get to see him on Saturday will be a week old.
- The fact that we are able to go and visit above mentioned nephew. In the big smoke as well.
- The ability to take a family holiday that involves getting on a plane. As a child I remember always feeling left out because our family never went on a plane for it's holidays. I am so glad to be able to let my children experience the thrill of flying from such an early age.
- Having Hubs home for three whole weeks is beyond awesome.
- The fact that during his holidays Hubs is so proactive in helping me around the house.
- On Monday, which is only like four sleeps away my big girl will be back in my arms!
- Getting 10000 views!
Now I know that it might look like a rather short list. And perhaps that is because it is a rather short list but since there are a heap of other great Thankful posts over at
you should head on over and check them out.
