My Little Drummer Boys: Thankful for simple things

Thankful for simple things

I am thankful for the simple things today.

I just returned from dropping the boys at the school bus stop , in my mismatched pj's -top blue with yellow striped cats and purple bottoms with stars . The teen's dog shredded the blue & yellow cat bottoms. I'm thankful I don't have to dress up for school run ...well we do leave at 7.50am.

Today, we head to Sydney for my next round of chemotherapy tomorrow . I am beyond thankful DH's nephew moved from Sunshine Coast to the neighbouring farm just over a month ago. He feeds our dogs, our cat and keeps an eye* one everything.

I am also bald I very thankful for warm hats and head wrap hacks. Yesterday I learnt how to recycle an old t-shirt into turban type head wrap. There are so many tutorials on you tubes to guide me.
I like this one too.

Linking in with Kate's Thankful Thursday What are you thankful for today ?

(*When we went to Sydney for my surgery we had to pack up the dog & her kennel to Grandpa's in Sydney, the cat to my friend's (in Sydney) and arrange for another neighbour to keep an eye on the farm ...during which time the Rural Crimes squad cut our gate padlock to get access to a different neighbour's farm for an investigation into neglected stock plus other matters.They came back a second time when we were back in Sydney the next time.)

I just love Thankful Thursday. Remembering to tip your hat to the simple things puts life into perspective. Reading your blog does that for me. So, I guess I tip my hat to you today. X

A t-shirt into a turban? How clever!
I'm thankful that I can hang out in my pjs this morning because I don't have plans. Sometimes we just need a jammie day :)

I will try and see it as a challenge too to be enjoyed not endured. The no hair - hats/scarves I mean.

I know my reactions will affect my children , so I try hard to stay positive. They are so young but very aware of everything at six, more than at four when their father was having radiation therapy.

Good luck for tomorrow Trish - I'll be thinking of you.

I have to learn how to do that thing with the teeshirt. I'm sure it will come in handy at some stage!

It looks good actually and it a cheap hack for around the home. The others are all $20 - $30.
Thank you xox

Thank you Helen, no matter how sick I feel lying in bed doesn't help- distractions and humour work for me.

Keep your chin up, Trish. You've made it to the second round of chemo, and you still look fabulous. Love that pink hair! I'm praying for you.

The pink hair was a borrowed, for 5mins wig, but I think I will order myself one - just to make people smile.
