So, it's Day #2 of 30 Days of Thankfulness - although, technically, it's actually day #4 of November. This just goes to show you that in true Stephanie fashion, I'm not completely caught up with life these days. (So what if maybe in the end I'll only have 27 days of thankfulness - I'm doing my best!)
Especially on a day like today. Today I reeeaaallly had to concentrate and remind myself - constantly - to focus on the blessings in each day. After a typical exhausting day in first grade, I had an exactly 10 minute break, followed by 13 - count them - 13 parent conferences in a row. No break. Not so good on a seven month pregnant lady's belly or bladder. And I get to have another 12 starting at 8 am tomorrow morning. The blessing there is that they start at 8 am instead of 7:20, when school usually starts. I digress.
On days like today, I'm so thankful for my hubby. He is the best father in the world, a quality I saw in him when we first met. He is so loving, caring, compassionate, attentive...and he loves his little girl unconditionally - almost to a fault! ;) Since the first night she was born, he took control and jumped in, even when I didn't know what was going on. He helped me through the first trying, tiring months when I didn't think I could do it, and he's still helping me when I don't know how I'm going to make it through the day. On a day like today, when I didn't even have the opportunity to see my baby girl, it puts my mind at ease knowing she's at home with the best father ever. Every morning, he is in charge of her morning routine - the morning milk, diaper changing, breakfast preparation and feeding, picking out and changing clothes, dropping her off at daycare (with a few minutes of snuggles and Sesame Street snuck in somewhere inbetween). It's a lot. I honestly don't know how single parents do it. I'm so lucky to have such an amazing man as my teammate in this parenting thing, and in life.
