Despite my sickness yesterday, it was a pretty lovely one. A loving friend came bearing ginger ale for my tummy and a helping hand with my kids. We watched a movie and took it easy. It was awesome. I finally got some food and drink into my system, which helped my exhaustion and weak body. I was not the most fun company out there, but SO appreciative to have the help and care. I don’t like to be a complainer, because I am SO grateful for the life I have, but to level with you, being sick with kids is HARD. It just is. And as parents, we do it anyway, because there is no other option. But having help makes a world of a difference.
My head pounded pretty much from the beginning of the day to the end of it. I wanted to get through the day without taking medicine, but it became just a bit too much, and I finally gave in and took some Tylenol. By supper time, I was feeling quite a bit better from my stomach bug, and I could tell my body was so hungry. Brady made perogies for us, to keep it pretty safe but also yummy. My goodness, they hit the spot!! SO GOOD!
Both Brady and I were cashed out, completely asleep, by 9:15 last night!! I know, thats a bit ridiculous. We had both slept poorly the night before, we’re both sick (me with my stomach and he with a cold) and add to that his first full work day in a while, we were both bushed. Thank the Lord, once again, for a baby who sleeps through most nights! She woke up shortly after 6:00 this morning. We both got a FULL nine hours of sleep by that point!
I feel considerably better this morning. Its weird. My throat hurts like I’ve been throwing up, but I haven’t been. My limbs ache the same way, like I’ve been retching, but I haven’t been. I have dead legs. But my stomach feels pretty close to 100% so I’ll take it. Today is a pretty relaxed day as it is.
Taping our basement is set to start this afternoon!!! And siding it apparently at a standstill. I don’t know, guys, I do NOT recommend the company we’ve used :/ Don’t want to bash them publicly, and I also don’t want to make anyone angry before they finish the job over here, but if you’re local and looking to get your siding repaired after this past summer’s hail storm, get in touch so you DON’T use the same company we did! I anticipate our taping will go WAY better!! Hoping for great things 🙂
