It pains me to write again about my sickness and ailments this week, I was so hopeful that by this time I would be well and these posts would be all cheery and funny and light-hearted.
I am still sick...and as of last night, the cold that has attacked my head and chest has now bombarded my ears, which are both so stopped up I have to put the tv on mute and read the closed caption. Seriously, can't hear a thing! Of course, this is a tiny blessing, in a household with a four year old, but I do need to get my hearing back...at some point.
Last night because of my lack o'hearing, I opted for no tv and my sweet child had taken a rare nap and was not looking for early bedtime. After dinner we settled in the living room like an old married couple, me on the couch with the laptop and she on the floor with her new dollhouse.
Yes, this dollhouse has been a lifesaver for me this week. It ranks right up there with my mother, mother-in-law and husband for keeping my child busy and happy while mommy recuperates from the Illness Attack of 2009.
Last night as I lay on the couch with every zap of energy I had nearly gone, she played and played with the furniture, the people, various other animals that she decided needed to live in the house. Hours, literally she played. It was heaven to this mommy.
I am looking forward to this weekend when maybe, just maybe I feel well enough to crawl on the floor with her and enter into the dollhouse world, but for now, here is a shout out to Santa - for knowing the perfect gift to bring this year. Yay, Santa!!
Living Happily In the Moment!

Sorry you feel bad-- we had it last week and I forgot to add that to the list of complaints! I should have taken Zicam. I know, I sound like a Rush commercial, but it has worked the times I have done it. Try it next time.....
Aaaaawwwww, feel better soon. I feel your pain!
Our plague has finally finished its wake of destruction. Today, we get to hang out together with no buckets, no tylenol and no tissue boxes. Blankets and sheets have all been stripped and washed. Finally.
