coming out of the flu fog!


our mantra around here...

today has been good. got the bathrooms cleaned, the house dusted. i'd like to vacuum...but not sure that's going to get done. played and chased and read to my kids. i was dancing around while i was dusting (i don't really like dusting - i was just so glad to be feeling better) and i turned around and joshua and bailey were both just sitting...staring at me like i was insane. they shouldn't - that's their "normal" mom - i guess they forgot since it's been so long!

i'm overwhelmed with all there is to be done. i really didn't care about anything for the last week so nothing got done. but, i can only do what i can do. i'm not stressing...yet.


this was bailey a few days ago. she wasn't feeling great and brought her blanket that she sleeps with downstairs. it's a house rule that we leave our blankets in our beds. i told her to go put it back in her bed. a few minutes later i went looking for her and she was sitting on the landing halfway up the stairs like this...adorable!

yesterday rebekah painted my toenails...

not bad, not bad. i can't do much better! pay no attention to the very ugly feet...

i can't tell you how many hours we spend "car racing" around here. it's the best.

my kids are so blessed to have the best dad in the world.
