The flu has visited our house. The absolute unfairness of being sick while your kids are running around with enviable energy is staggering. We have watched so much tv, the kids have ate chips for more meals than I’ll be sharing and I’ve used candy liberally as a bribing method.
Today was a low as I was in the bathroom forever, then took Bear to the bathroom because he had an accident (because I was unavailable to take him), only to go get Bug out of his crib while Bear sat on the toilet, to change, guess what? another dirty diaper. If I wasn’t already close to puking every other minute, this isn’t making it ANY easier.
If I haven’t lost you already, my thought in the middle of all of this is how thankful I was. Like, not in a cheesy way, however cheesy this sounds actually… but in a WOW. I’m in a heated house, with running water, plenty of wipes and diapers and food (none of which I want to eat) in the kitchen. I know this sounds obnoxious, but the truth is that I’m NOT perfect, I’m am often NOT thankful for anything in my life and I wanted to take a moment to say something thankful.
And the fact is that I’ll be forgetting all of this here soon so I wanted to say it while my heart felt it. Even it was just for a minute.
