So I have been sick all weekend. Not fun and not at all what I had planned to do with my days off. So unproductive. This morning I awoke with a neck ache so bad that if I wasn't a nurse I would have run into the ER claiming meningitis but as it is I just took some Ibuprofen and some coffee and I am good to go! Since I am now feeling functional I am going to try to get as much done today as possible considering I work between now and Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving is at my house this year. That'll be some good eating!
My dear sweet daughter has taken it upon her to take care of her mommy. Could there be anything sweeter? She rubs my back, checks my forehead and hands me tissues the whole time murmuring "I'm so sorry your sick Mommy. I love you!" That is enough to make anyone feel better.
Swimming lessons are almost done and I am so glad. 2 hours at a pool 3 times a week is more than enough. But Alyssa has done fabulous with only a few brief tears the first time she had to do class without her beloved older brother. Maybe this will continue to give her the confidence to try new things. Clesson on the other hand has done great as always. He is a little fish and is often halfway down the pool before the teacher is done instructing all the kids. He is just such a natual athlete.
Well I better get going. I promised the kids that we would put up the outside Christmas lights today. Many people already have around here and they are feeling horribly left out. I am holding off on the inside decorations and the tree until after Thanksgiving. I think we are going to try a real tree this year and pick it out with the kids. Ofcourse they are already eyeing either the purple spray painted tree or the 15 foot tall one. They might need a little direction when it comes time. Parenting....the hardest job you'll ever love. Has there been a truer statement? I do love it though.
