My parents and friend Tracey, for checking up on me and making sure I am ok. 
My sense of humour not deserting me even when my smile has. 
A clean house.

Today I am thankful for: 
Having my husband back where he belongs. 
My husband mopping the floors without my asking him to do it. And putting the rubbish out when I had forgotten to. 
Mainly Music, for being my outlet to sing and dance in public and not look like a dick 'cause everyone else is doing it too. 
Op shops, for renewing my wardrobe on a budget I can afford. 
Facebook, for connecting me with friends I may otherwise not have reconnected with. 
Our beautiful daughter's mischievous smile. 
Rin, for witnessing Ila's passport. 
And Tim, for taking it into the Passport Office so we can finally take Ila to see her awesome Aunty Sarah, Uncle Simon and cuzzies Eden and Ruby.

Today I am thankful for: 
Ila having another good sleep and being a chippa little cutie pie all day long. 
Mum for letting me have a bath and getting Ila off to bed without my help. 
My sewing machine and overlocker - which have become my 'therapy' (I feel self indulgent when I create). 
My friend Rin for visiting and reminding me that things have to get better eventually! 
The kitten cuddles I got (even if it was only because they were cold / wanted to be fed).

Today I am thankful for:
Ila getting a decent sleep after 12 nights of coughing and wakefulness. 
My in-laws for looking after my husband so I can have a break. 
My coffee group ladies for enabling me to have some sanity time, and making me realise that I am, in fact, normal. 
The latest fashions being all the things I'm into right now (ruffles, big buttons, chiffon blouses and feminine 50's / 60's styles). 
Big winter coats. 
Having such a great family and wonderful friends. 
My 95 year old Nana who is still with us.
