So Grateful

This morning I wanted to write a post thanking my friends who have helped me out so much recently. I had to go in on Monday and take a 3 hour glucose test to determine if I have gestational diabetes (I don't, thank goodness!) and I had some friends/neighbors who helped me out. My neighbor Sarah allowed me to bring my kids over early to preschool so I could get to the test by 9 AM and then my neighbor Leann watched the kids after preschool until I finished up and made it home around 12:30.

Then, because the test was so stressful and worrisome to me, along with Allison not sleeping well, my immune system has broken down a little and my small cold has turned into a full blown sinus infection. I made a doctor's appt this morning to see my family doctor at 11:15 and my friend Sarah once again offered to watch my kids while I go to the doctor since the appt is between preschool times, what a sweetheart! Then I called my other neighbor Leann to see if she could take Timmy to tumbling along with her son and then take Tim over to Sarah's afterwards so that I can stay home and rest and she said she would. Not only that, she has offered to bring me dinner tonight, wow!

With Justin being gone to Alabama for 10 days and my Mom working full-time, these friends have really stepped up to show true friendship. I hope I can repay it in the future when I am feeling better :)

I just have to mention that I have another friend Jenni who is always willing to swap babysitting with me and that is fabulous! I love it when friends and neighbors are willing to share the burden of motherhood a little and allow us all to have little breaks now and again.
