Cabin Fever

Well, we are dealing with illness early around here this season! I only hope it means we are getting it all out of the way for a healthy winter to come.

There is some sort of "super-cold" going around and its taking us out one by one. I went down last Thursday, G fell on Sunday, C 2 days ago and J yesterday. Better this week than next, right?

I am being reminded of what life is like to be "stuck" at home with kids. Its been interesting. Day 1 with G wasn't too bad - she felt well enough to read, make play-doh, create a band worth of musical instruments, paint, and snuggle. Day 2 was a bit trickier since they were BOTH home. Today its just C - lots of napping, TV watching, listening to Adventures in Odyssey, crocheting and generally whining a bit to make sure your mom knows you don't feel well.

I love my girls and love being able to take care of them when they are sick. I realize, though, that I need some time outdoors and my exercise. I'm getting a little crabby! Of course, I did go outside yesterday for some doggy doo duty. That counts, right?
