Waking up at usual the time to get up for work then realising i could just roll back over because i booked the day off. Thats a nice feeling!Better to understand a little than to misunderstand a lot.0

DS1 (nearly 3) waking up NOT covered in poo this morning! Sorry for TMI, but he’s had a tummy bug for days, and I’m just so pleased he’s feeling better! DS2 (18 months) giggling hysterically while daddy got him dressed. Both boys throwing themselves at their grandparents, whom they haven’t seen for a week and who are looking after them for the day, demanding cuddles!
Home-made gluten-free granola for our family breakfast! Free Starbucks coffee this morning. AND it’s Friday and I finish work in 3-ish hours.
What a lovely thread – thanks op and everyone!

I am smiling now knowing that after 2 days of being sick, my two gorgeous children have managed to keep raisins down and we haven't seen sick since 6.30am, this is a miracle knowing how often it has occurred.
I currently have my 11 month old daughter asleep on me with my 4 year old son cuddled up next to me asleep.
Knowing my 2 children are getting better and daddy keeps texting to see how they are makes me smile

The huge, grubby, hairy scaffolder who saw me struggling to get by some of their boards with the pushchair and not only moved the boards but squatted down and had the most ridiculous soppy baby-talk conversation with my 13 month old
If you lend someone £20 and never see them again, it was probably £20 well spent...0 -

I feel your pain. We started with the runs 3 weeks ago on Monday and now we have progressed to the sickness bug.
My daughter is 1 on Sunday, I hope she is better.
Glad your son is getting better.0 -

You are truly blessed in life HBS and what is really nice is that you recognise this

I really am grateful. Sometimes I look at my OH and am a little in awe of how perfect I find him and how much I love him. At one point I would have waited for the bubble to burst...after over a year together I float on it
As for our cute lil hound, she's rescue, and when I sit on the sofa with her on my lap I just feel glad we've helped her be happy.
Admittedly, I still wish I was a size 8 and 10 years younger, and I wouldn't turn down a lottery win or a better-paid job or a free car or something...but we get by OK - we have somewhere to live, a car to pootle around in, our health and our love. That's easily enough in my eyes
(And of course I have my mum and my hobbies and my crazy dance team...all of them build up to complete my life. :T)
