Today I am thankful for A's return from Townsville - even though it is only for four days. With a 21st party being planned at home in three days time, his presence and support is totally needed. While he has been away, he has been as supportive as he can be by telephone, but there is something to be said for having him, in the flesh, next to me as we race through a heap of things that need to be tidied / moved / cleaned / picked up / organised. I know that when I get home today, huge steps will have been made forward in what needs to be done (and if it isn't, a bottle of Amarula is in the fridge waiting to console me !!!).
I am hoping to be able to take a day's leave tomorrow so that I can get the last minute things organised.
I am thankful that I have bigger clothes in the garage roof that he is going to get down for me today - and, should I find nothing suitable to wear to Palazzo Versace on Sunday night, I will spend Mother's Day looking for something !!!!!
Have the best day and thank you, once again, Leigh for hosting Thankful Thursday - in the hustle and bustle of life, it is often to easy to forget about being thankful for what we do have.
TFTD : Accept your past without regret, handle your present without hesitance, and face your future without fear.
So nice to hear your boy is home. Enjoy the next few days and the celebration!!!! xxxxxx
ReplyDeleteThanks Leigh - if I can get through to the end of Monday night I will be happy !! 21st on Saturday night, dinner at Palazzo Versace Sunday night (and nothing to wear !!) and tax returns to be finished by 13th !!!
DeleteHave the best day !

I hope all goes well for the 21st!! I have a big year of celebrations this year too. My daughter turned 18 on 3 May and is having a party on 18th May (40 teenagers coming!!)....AND....my twin boys turn 21 in November (not even thinking about that one yet!!). Min xo
ReplyDeleteWOW - that is a big year for you. We have A's 50th in September - trying not to even think about that at the moment !!!
DeleteHave the best day and good luck for next Saturday !

I always love your TFTD at the bottom of your posts. Gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteAs for your thankful thought: it DOES make things easier to have them there, by your side. Even if it's not to physically do things, the moral support in close proximity is always welcomed.
Have a FABULOUS 21st & mother's day xx
Thanks you - I'm glad you like the TFTD !!! It's funny how often the thoughts that really appeal to me on a particular day, appeal to others as well.
DeleteThe good thing is that he is here to do all the physical stuff which I would never have managed without him. He was ringing around hiring crockery and cutlery this morning and then picked up the tables and chairs. It is all starting to come together and I am feeling more than a little relieved !!
Have a great day and an even better weekend !

There's nothing like taking a cheeky day off to get some work done. I hope you have a great time ;o)
ReplyDeleteI hope it all goes to plan - the TFTD is a great idea. I saw one the Cadbury website the other day.
ReplyDeleteHope all goes well and that you are well too. I'm also leaning towards my bigger more comfy clothes at the moment. It is what it is :) Wishing you a wonderful party.
ReplyDeleteLove and light xxx
Have a sensational time at the party and enjoy it! Sounds very fancy on Sunday- do we see some pics next week?
ReplyDeleteHello darling, hope it all goes really, really well. Enjoy Mother's day, and you are so right, there is always a lot to be grateful for. Hope all the last minute stuff is getting done!
