Today is Saturday. I have missed almost an entire week of blogging. To those of you who faithfully checked in everyday, only to be met with the same old post - I am sorry, but oh so thankful you were faithful to check in.
I have missed this. The putting of thoughts to paper, the typing on the computer keys, the thread that runs through my brain as I try to focus on a particular idea or thought pattern.
We have the sickness in our home. First I was sick, then my sweet girl has been sick and missed three days of school. Then yesterday I had an allergic reaction to the cleaner I used on Thursday and spent the day trying to come down off a Benedryl high.
I am not completely convinced we are over all the ickiness that has surrounded us this week, but I think we are at least on the mend.
Even though I wasn't blogging, wasn't doing much of anything actually, but sitting with my girl, my brain did make one or two constructive thoughts.
There is NOTHING worse than sick child. There is also nothing sweeter than a sick child, snuggling up close in the middle of the night, body hot with fever, longing to just have Mommy close. That is the part of this mommyhood job that I wouldn't trade for anything. It was just the thing I needed to keep me going after 36 hours of no sleep - the thought that she might actually love me and need me - it is a powerful drug, much more powerful that the Benedryl!
Thanks to all who have checked on us, here is hoping that the weekend will bring a complete restoration of health and next week we will be back to normal.
