This week was a write off. We were totally trapped inside..or rather I was trapped inside with two sick little girls. Today, today though, both are up and about and C , for the first time in five days is up off the couch and is colouring and chattering away.
I am thankful that both Abby and C are feeling better.
I am thankful for our health care system. I took C into the walk in clinic and came out with a prescription for tamiflu..and it's covered by our government.
I am thankful that no one else( knock on wood) in our house has fallen ill.
I am thankful for my neighbour, my best bestie , who provides me with health advice and some products from her work. I swear by the salts. I think that is what has kept that yucky virus at bay.
I am thankful for my sister Linda, who baked some yummy , healthy cookies for us and who is helping me make a memorial dvd for my girlfriend's little girl.
I am thankful for a good nights sleep. All of the children, including Joey slept the entire night, which meant I also slept in my own bed all night long.
I am thankful for melatonin , which helped the above children get a good nights sleep.
I am thankful for my husband who has helped with the little ones when he came home from work, so I could rest. He also did up the dishes and ran the older boys around while I rested.
I am thankful for my big boys. I am so proud that Alec has made the roadshow and that Nick is doing well in school.
I am thankful for my friends. Margaret, who watched my girls on Monday, even though they were sick and she risked getting the flu. Anna, that we recently reconnected. Jac , still thinking of other people even through this difficult time.
I am thankful for the swifter, the amount of times I have to wash my floor, well it's just so much easier than say washing and waxing like my mom had to do. Even if I did put the pad for the bottom of the swifter on backwards this morning. I had to rewash the floor, it still didn't take up much time.
I am thankful for Thursdays. Our Thursdays. Our one day a week where we can goof off and have fun , without worrying about the kids or the men. Even if we don't remember what Grey's is about.
I am thankful for Jen, who has made Thursdays what it is.
