We’ve been stuck in the house all week thanks to snow and ice and school cancellations. Ella and I have croupy coughs and at 4 AM she appeared at the side of my bed with the resurgence of a fever that I hoped had packed up and left overnight.
This isn’t how I had planned to spend this week before Christmas and as I battled my sleep deprivation induced headache this morning I almost decided that I couldn’t do it. Not today. Not another day.
But then I took a shower and took some advil, put on lipstick, and decided to smile and be calm.
We ate our lunch on the coffee table while watching a little Thomas. And this afternoon I’m calling for a special nap session in Mommy and Daddy’s bed.
It’s all going to be alright.
Ah that’s how we were right before Thanksgiving~kids with a stomach bug and no school and me with so much to do. But I put on holiday specials and rubbed achy heads and bellies and made the best of a crappy situation.
I hope you’re all well soon!

I’m experiencing a bit of this myself. Two infants + hardcore teething + a cold + frequent night wakings… good thing a visit to the grandparents’ is in sight. Can’t… hold out… much longer!

Funny what a little lip stick will do for a mommy! It is tough to schedule in sickness during the already way too frantic holidays for sure! I hope you lil ones get well soon!

Here’s to a better week ahead!
xoxox!
Amazing how a little lipstick and a nap in the big bed can make all the difference. Hang in there. I HATE it when my babies have fevers, especially.
that’s why I always wanted to have kids earlier, while I still have a lot of energy and patient. I always imagined myself as a young father of 20 years old kids
Kids came a bit later, but I love to say, “right on time”

I hope you’re all feeling better! We got snowed in a couple weeks ago, too. I’m enjoying not having to leave the house during break.
