I was reminiscing the other day (yesterday to be exact), about the times when Jelly bean was running around healthy - chasing the cat, giggling, and throwing tantrums...ahhh how I miss those days...
No, really.
I don't know what it is about being the only healthy person in the house...it just isn't fair. (Hubby is now knocked out on 3 drugs, while recovering from a torn muscle in his neck.) Not only do I have boogers to wipe, medicine to force down, dishes to clean and throw logs on the fire...but I have to keep my cool. Which on these days can be quite tough.
But I do it, maybe not with a lot of grace, but I do it. Because I love being a mom.
Because I love it when Jelly out of the blue runs up and says, "I love you mommy," or when she gives me those puppy-dog eyes and says, "Please". And of course when she smiles and spreads her infectious laugh...Yes, those are the moments that make being a mom -- special.
Some days are tough, some are easy...but you'll never get those days back, so enjoy every moment.
Forecast update: Hubby was able to use his new: Monster-blower yesterday. Even though his doctor has him on 2 different painkillers and a muscle relaxer...regardless of the warning of..."Do not operate heavy machinery," he insisted on snowblowing the driveway. Luckily no one was hurt.
Men!
How did Tim Allen put it...arhh, arhhh, arhhhh?

Some Sunday Ramblings
We had a good couple of months, a couple sniffles but nothing much more...so I knew it was only a matter of time...the flu is at its peak with 3 versions striking, meaning the flu shot only covered 1.
On Friday night, Jelly bean didn't want to eat and went straight to bed and Saturday had a 102.0 fever, with a cough and runny nose. But out of all my sicknesses, I will take this any day.
Thankfully she doesn't mind taking tylenol and motrin...
Hubby has been taking advil too, he has a really bad stiff neck...I feel for him, it isn't fun walking around like a robot...
So, here I am (Let me find some wood) knock - knock on wood, I am the only one who is healthy in our household. I am ready for winter to come to an end (didn't the groundhog say 6 more weeks?) what does he know, right? And speaking of snow, for all of those here in Central PA...you have hubby to thank...we bought a monster snowblower this winter and mother nature has been tormenting him since. Poor guy, can't even enjoy his new toy!
