Sorry for the spiratic posts lately my friends. We got back from our Thanksgiving visit to Texas and landed right in the middle of Christmas. Yikes! Two holiday parties, hosted at my house, and three Christmas programs later, I am able to come up for air.
Luckily I have the best husband in the world...really he is. You don't mind if I brag on him for a moment do you? When the boys and I arrived home from the airport, S had put the white lights up outside on the house, the Christmas tree was in and ready to be decorated and garland had been put in all the right places (the mantle, the stairs, etc). The boys and I just had to decorate the tree and unpack the Christmas linens and dishes. Its times like this, I sometimes forget he's a big tough military guy. I love him.
So, now that the formal obligations are over and no one is depending on me for one thing or another, my body has decided it is time to get sick. Oh yes...it is a sad day when the mama gets sick. I had been fighting a sinus infection most of the Thanksgiving break, but now my headache is accompanied by fever, a soar throat and an ear infection. Lucky me.
Yes, yes...lucky me. Lucky that I have a wonderful husband who is so good at taking the boys so I can rest and get over this nastyness. Lucky that I have a beautiful home, a warm fire and a full pantry. Lucky to have friends to call to see if they can bring soup over tonight. Yes, yes...lucky me.
