Thankful Thursday ~ September 4
The theme this week is Seasons. What a lovely theme. The season here of course is spring.
It is a big season when your son leaves home like Iris'. I visited my son last weekend, and feel I have made the adjustment properly now. It is such a big event. It has been 2 1/2 years. I was riding in the car over the ground where we left him all that time ago last weekend. The first time I was crying driving home with hubby and the kids on this particular roundabout.
Well I have been reading up on bronchitis, and I guess I had the malaise that goes with it. I get better each day I think. It is hard to do anything, so I do a small amount. I felt a lot less cranky after reading my friends new blog and things on Peggy's daily reads. So I had a nice day.
Thursday~
~ hubby got his hair cut which was hard to achieve, and it looks nice
~ I liked the version of carbonara hubby made though I was scared of it at first because of the green beans, it is lovely. Prosciutto Linguine
~ I was able to walk to school, I didn't have the car that day
Friday~
~ I was able to pack for six people for a trip, I did it slowly
~ my middle daughter did well at a sports day at the regional centre, she got two ribbons, and got home in time to start our trip
~ absolutely lovely scenery
~ my last minute clothes dried on the line
~ middle daughter's new watch
~ I was worried about how I had organised the late check-in but it turned out OK I should have called to make doubly sure
~ second son was able to get his hair cut too!
Saturday~
~ eldest son drove me around in his and his girlfriend's new car that I hadn't seen before
~ I also was able to drive even though I was a little unwell, he told me where to turn
~ I got to go to an Asian food store and bought some things for the pantry and some Pokemon lollies that cheered up our son a lot
~ our son and his girlfriend cooked us tea
~ they took us to see some ducks and generously bought lots of bread for them, it was planned out very well and was a lovely place to sit
Sunday~
~ I got my menus made up
~ I got the fruit ordered
Monday~
~ an email to middle son's teachers about his illness meant that they helped him which was nice
Tuesday~
~ I got my car back, though apparently the fan may come off, so some investigating what the wreckers have needed
~ some costumes got organised
~ hubby bought some more food, just a tiny bit left to get now
Wednesday~
~ I was able to get some washing done, a effort that both of us did
~ I got some bills paid

Sorry to hear you and your family have been feeling unwell. My hubby has brought home a lovely virus from work and I am keeping my fingers crossed that I don't get it. He has been sick all week. My son is complaining of a sore throat tonight, I am hoping it is only allegy related.
Hope you are all feeling better real soon.
Take care,
Tania
I'm glad you feel better but I know it has been a while. These things take a long time and it always feel like forever before we feel better. Glad you're on the road to doing that though.
I received an award that I would like to pass on to you if you are willing. I enjoy visiting your blog, I think it is a lovely one and my visits here are a fun part of my day. The award is over at my place.
Have a good one, and continue to feel much, much better.
Thank you so much Denise. Thanks also for your well wishes.
God bless!
Happy Thankful Thursday!
Have a blessed weekend in your Spring. I'm getting ready for fall right now and just loving it.
God bless you my dear....
