thankful Thursday (and making it a link-up)
Thankful Thursday is back, and this time it’s a little improved. I had a few questions last time I posted one about a link-up, so I decided to do just that this time around. Hoping to do this at least every other week, if not every week.Ā The rules are simple. If you have a “thankful” post from the past week, link up below!
1. I’m so thankful that our son is at the age where he can tell us if something is wrong. On Tuesday night, he was fighting bed time (fighting us), and once he was in bed he said his head hurt (from hitting it against the crib – he did that to himself) and his ear hurt. Wednesday morning, he told me his ear hurt again. I took him to the walk-in clinic at his pediatrician’s office, and sure enough. Another ear infection. Another round of antibiotics and he should be as good as new.
2. Chiropractors. I’m so thankful for chiropractors. I’m way more active now and the craziest turns can throw something in my back. You have no idea how many ribs you have, how a misplaced rib can screw your entire body….until you’ve been to a chiropractor. I love mine. (And I’m thankful I had an appointment this week. I so needed it.)
3. Decent weather. Last week, we were hitting the negative digits and over the weekend, we were creeping towards 60 degrees. I went running and even took my running jacket off. It was amazing. And it may have caused my current sinus/cold thing. (The serious shift in weather…I’m not a fan.)
So plenty to be thankful for. What are you thankful for this week? Comment or link up below!
I’m super thankful that no one in my family was caught out in the #SnowJam2014 that plagued Atlanta. We had food, heat, water and everyone at home!
I am so looking forward to April for some decent weather but for now I am thankful for being under my covers as much as possible.
Great post. I do a post like this on Monday on my blog. It’s important to be thankful.
So glad your little guy was able to tell you that his ear hurt before the infection got even worse. I, too, am very thankful that two of my three kids are at the age when they can tell me what is wrong.
I am super thankful for having shed 275 life alter pounds! I’m even more thankful for my newly revived life. thanks for the link up
Your son is a cutie pie, it sucks that he got another ear infection but your little guy is a trooper. Our weather is bumping up as well and I’m just as thankful lol
YES! I am so with you on when they get old enough to tell you when something is wrong! That makes a world of difference when they can just say it instead of playing guessing games trying to figure it out.
i have heard that a chiro can also help with kids’ ear infection woes. something we’re thinking about for our 6 year old who has ear infections all the time
Thankful Thursday is a great idea! It made me stop and think about what I am thankful for today.
Today I am thankful that school is in session. š Our routine has been so messed up by snow days lately!
Really thankful we didn’t lose power this storm like we did last month! That was cold. It was 46 in the bedrooms! Brrr
Totally understand the relief of your child being able to tell you what is wrong. We couldn’t wait for our youngest to get there. Not only for illness, but for anything he was frustrated about. It made such a difference. I’d have to say this week I’m thankful for a mild winter and a warm home.
This week I’m thankful that I checked a lot off of my to-do list and we are one week closer to winter being over! I’m also thankful that I made plans to see the LEGO movie with my nephew tomorrow!
Hope your son is feeling better soon! So jealous of 60 degree weather!
My brother was telling me the other day that he used to scoff at chiropractors until he threw his back out recently. He said he went to one and it made a complete and total difference to him!
I remember being so frustrated when my daughter was really little because she just couldn’t tell us when something was wrong! Of course, now she’s a teenager and we have the opposite problem. LOL!
My SIL has chronic back and hip problems and she totally swears by her chiropractor. š
does your son see the chiro too? I have heard of them curing EIs also. I also saw mine for the first time since before the holidays. long over due.
He does go on occasion. I may take him next week since I can come in late, and just get him adjusted.
I’m thankful for my family and always will be
I do not like ear infections. Poor guy! So glad he can tell you too. Love that you are doing this as well. I need to implement this more on my site.
I am thankful for all the people that love my children and help them succeed in life. It takes a village, that is definitely true. So glad your little one is feeling better.
I am thankful for having such a decent week with my children. Minimal issues, happiness all around and fun with Legos! Speaking of Legos, I am thankful for the local fam who dropped us off a HUGE supply of Legos!
I love the idea of a thankful day and would love to join in when I can. Great way to teach our children too.
Aww, your little boy is so adorable! I hope he gets to feeling better. I am thankful the weather wasn’t as bad this week – though it meant my hubby had to go into work every day (he worked from home some last week).
Hope your little guy feels better soon! I was thankful for several snow days this week. They won’t be this young for long!
I love reading these thankful posts. We have so much to be thankful for. I’m thankful for my life and those of my kids and family. Thankful that I have a job as well, so many out there don’t have one. I guess I’m thankful every day.
Creeping towards 60’s what!?! I wish we had that here in Ohio, were seeing the negatives again.
I’ve never been to a chiropractor. My hubby used to go when his insurance covered it 100%, but mine never has. I was always jealous!
It’s always great to take time to be thankful! Great idea for making it a link up too!
I am thankful for my crazy family and my daily access to wine š I’m making a note to come link up to this–what a great idea!
