- around the house -

it has been a long month. so much illness. ear infections. ear aches. sore throats. sore bodies. fevers. snuffy (lali's word for stuffy) noses. coughing. or hacking if you are nigel. scratchy voices. watery eyes. pink eye. fatigue. shall i go on?

today is the first day in a long time that the kids appear on the mend. nigel is not necessarily mending, but will be better tomorrow as i will insist he go to school. he is better in public.

finished a layout today. good to be back in a bit of a groove.

it finally warmed up a tiny bit so the ladies and i went outside for a few minutes of fresh air. what a welcome surprise that was. (i say surprise, not as we didn't know that the warmer weather was forecast, but as that forecast turned out to be right!!)

off to rest. fighting a migraine today. have a list a mile long for work tomorrow, so i might just shut down the computer and be a mom for the rest of the day. imagine that.

gratitudes today:
1. miracles - the ss lesson today. glad to know miracles still happen.
2. modern day medicine
3. bright 4 year olds who prefer to call granola gorilla in spite of knowing the real word. ha ha ha!!
