36 weeks… the week my hand fell off

This is a little late because I’m almost 38 weeks as I write this… but the past 2 weeks have been such a whirlwind.
For 36 weeks, I posed with thank-you notes because I had so many to write. I had a family/close friends baby shower on the 6th of this month, then (as a surprise) our 100+ member choir showered us with gifts, and then on the 11th my school staff held a shower for me, which Rob was forced to attend attended with a smile. All of the showers were fun, and the generosity by people we barely know was astounding. But the thank-you notes… the thank-you notes might kill us.
Currently, I am about 60 thank-you’s away from finished, and for that I am proud. But, I ask- why is it impossible to find thank-you’s at Costco? You would think that people would have lots of thank-you notes to write this time of year, and they might need to buy them by the case. Perhaps thank-you notes are a dying art? All I could find were packs of 24 at Target for $5, which was not bad. But I had to buy 5 of these little boxes, which annoyed me.
Last week (37 weeks) was the last week of school before winter break, and since the week was so busy we didn’t get to take a photo. Week 38 coming in a few days!




Nah, it was fun, sweetie. Joe got me through it!
I at first thought that you wrote that your HEAD fell off! I was quite concerned until I realized it was “only” your right hand…
How commendable that you and Rob have MANNERS. Good job with the notes
