What I’m thankful for this week

Posted on February 6, 2014August 6, 2016

This week I am thankful for being a SAHM/WAHM.

This week both children have been poorly.

They have both wanted Mummy cuddles.

Both been sick

Both have been crying

Both have slept during the day – and once at the same time!

I’m thankful that I am at home to look after them

I’m thankful that I don’t have to worry about how I get to work with them both being poorly

Thankful that I don’t need to still pay a childminder/nursery when they are unable to attend

I’m pleased to be able to spend my time with them while they are so young

    Ha ha, sorry can't help laughing. I'm sat here with chicken pox! My 9yo got over it last week and went back to school and now me and the 5yo have got it and the 5yo is getting better much quicker than I am which is annoying shall we say!

    As hard as poorly children can be, it is easier if you don't need to worry about work, I once needed to take holiday to cope with 2 chicken pox children? thanks for linking up

      It is tough. Emma is ill so often I feel I would have lost a job if I was employed by someone else ; (
