I was just sitting there and pondering, wondering, then I thought I should make a list of things I am thankful for during this CB period, I don't know when I will next have a chance like this, just stay home 24/7 with the family. It is a rare opportunity. Something I want to be grateful for.
A more relaxed husband.
Who washes the dishes after each meal.
Accompanies me to the market and carries the heavy load of marketing.
Plays with the kids every night and some afternoons.
Willing to jog and walk with me at the park, otherwise he wouldn't, or the last time he did was before the kids came along.
More fun kids. Play games together and a lot more time to read, sit and laze around, prepare meals with me, help with housework and longer interaction time.
Engaged in more physical activities, like watching online videos for fitness workouts, walks and runs at the park almost everyday. Clean up every bit and corner of the house.More time for planning special meals and baking more often, like baking chiffon cake which I've not done more than 2 years. Started on a couple of crochet projects, ideas of giving gifts and cards to friends. Doing quiet time daily.Doing special things for mom like cooking green bean soup and pasta lunch for mother's day and delivered to her house. Contribute more for Children church programes like Mission month in June and Creation Care project. Catch up with reading of missionary biographies.
I'm sure there are more like sleeping late, taking naps and waking up late.
