This week has been kinda hard.
But then it’s also been good.
A dichotomy of sorts.
One group of us has been well (females).
And another, not so well (males).
Tim has been down for the count since Tuesday night and Little G has had coughing and fever on and off for several days.
I’m thankful we’re not ALL sick. But I’m tired.
Tired of single parenting and sleeping on the couch. (scared of germs, forgive me…)
Somehow though, amongst the sleeves of saltines, tissues and glass of juice and/or ginger-ale refills, I still feel thankful.
Thankful to have these people to take care of.
Thankful for broken crayons to make new ones with.
Thankful for kids that are still REALLY healthy in general.
(yes, I let Little G breathe on K, what was I thinking???)Thankful for a little time outside this afternoon with my best girl.
Thankful for this photo framed and sitting on my kitchen window sill.
Thankful for thin crust frozen pizza and the chicken Tim grilled before the plague struck.
Thankful for abc.com so I could watch Modern Family after the DVR apparently took a winter break.
Thankful that I KNOW this week will eventually have to end.
I love this post. I’m sorry everyone is sick, but you just love the heck out of your family and I love that about you.
Also, I need your crayon how-to.
I have been having one of those weeks too.
I will be thankful when it will be over.
Hope the little guy is feeling better soon.
Oh Laney, why don’t we live closer???? I know you just said this on my blog the other day but I really do feel like we know each other and that we have so much in common.
This past week has been rough for me too. My hubby has had cold after cold after stomach virus after cold for 4 weeks now. The boys are fighting colds too and Grace’s nose is horrible. I just feel like I am in a slump. I’m SO TIRED and grumpy. Ugh. This is not exactly the way I wanted to start the new year out. Boo.
I think I may have seasonal affective disorder. I need more sunlight. And warmth. Why do I live in Wisconsin???? 😉
Anyway, I can relate. I really hope your household is well soon.
-and by the way, I always call Gracie my best girl too. 🙂
I hope you get rid of the germs soon….. ugh! But it’s nice to see all you’re grateful for through the germs!
those weeks are the toughest..and then we are rewarded with a fabulous day that rejuvenates us.
Hope the house is on the mend!
Sebastian has those puppy jammies from Target, too. =)
Hope the guys are feeling better soon! I have been sneezing like crazy with an itchy nose, so I hope I’m not coming down with anything. Being sick when you are pregnant is NO fun.
way to keep the positivie outlook, girly!! Germs can’t stand happines..I bet they are on their way out of town FAST after all your happy-happy-joy-joy! Oh, and go you for printing and framing photos! You are way ahead of me.
My husband has been in bed since Tuesday night also. I’m disinfecting the bedding today in hopes that I’ll be able to sleep in bed tonight!
I hope everyone is on the mend soon!
It’s admirable that you can still be thankful through the difficult times. I know what you mean though, there’s something about having people to take care of that is humbling. Hope everyone is on the road to recovery now.
Every time I have to write a post like this, I find I’m even more thankful at the end.
I sure hope the plague has left for good.
