52 Weeks of Gratitude – Week Thirty Seven

This weeks been one of those *ahem* slightly more challenging weeks… nothing major, just short tempers, kiddos who argue {lots}, too much rain/cold meaning we’ve been in the house lots, all of us cooped up together driving each other slightly crazy{ier}. What we need is a week in the sunshine, somewhere hot! I think that’s very unlikely to happen anytime soon though…. this week has made me realise just how badly we need to move to a bigger house.

It’s weeks like this, that I find it vital to find the good things, to remind myself what’s important and seek out happy things instead of thinking about the not so good….

* a parcel of goodies from the lovely Fritha – a couple of fab baby vests, this tumble doll for Vega AND a little bottle of bubbly {which is much needed this weekend!}
* coffee…. I totally went off the taste when I was pregnant, and am grateful I can stomach it once again – some mornings I need that caffeine kick!
* spending the day at our home ed group – a day out of the house, the kiddos happy in the company of their friends and other actual adults to talk to {and not just type-talk} = a very happy mama
* a cosy bed – I put our old electric blanket back on the bed this week, meaning when I can switch it on if I’m up with the baby in the night, and have a warm cosy bed to snuggle back into and a warm bed means I fall back asleep far faster! Every extra second of sleep is vital!
* Kiki – she’s still topping my list of baby essentials this week – not sure what I’d do without her! She loves Vega so much, and loves nothing more than helping me out, either brother cuddling/rocking/walking about or making sure I have everything I need if I’m feeding him.

We’re off out to a birthday party today, and planning a lazy day for tomorrow {that most certainly includes pancakes and a movie!} What do you have planned for your weekend? Don’t forget to link up your gratitude posts below :)
