Grateful Sunday

Really? Has a week gone by already since my last post? This was a rough week for the MacDougalls. I was in bed , sick, for at least 2 days. Then hobbling after them for the next couple. And when Momma is sick, well, things don't run very smoothly. I was able to drag myself out of bed just in time for time to go play with the Young Men in our church for the High Adventure. Like I said, rough week.
I'm grateful for:
  • my neighbor, who took my kids for a whole day so I could wallow in my bed feeling sorry for myself and how sick I was. Couldn't do that with little ones around.
  • Ny-quil and earplugs
  • My kids love TV and on weeks like this, I'm so thankful they'll stay away from me and watch a movie.
  • The sickness has FINALLY left our home. Every blanket, lovey, towel, pillowcase, etc. has been washed and everything has been sprayed down with Lysol.
  • I took the kids to see UP on Friday night (all by myself). I thought it was a darling movie and liked it better than I expected - bonus.

Here's to a good week, a productive week. I gotta get this house back in order!

I agree, "Up" was a great movie...

Thanks for sharing your grateful list that puts things right into a sweet perspective for the coming week.

Laurel, I'm glad you're feeling better and got some help from your neighbor. Sick mommy=no good!

Glad you are feeling better! I was sick two weeks ago and it took me all last week to clean up from not being in full-mom mode all week.

TV can be a blessing some days, huh? I remember when mine were little and sneaking naps while they watched a video. It was the best!

Oh! Sorry you've had such a challenging week . . . as I'm reading along, those seem to be going around this week . . . hope things are looking up soon.

ps - if you can get your house back together in ONE week, I am going to be sooooo envious!

Glad you're feeling better. Being sick as a mom is a real JOKE...not much rest time. You are so blessed to have such a great neighbor!

We took the kids to see UP while on vacation and I LOVED it. I knew nothing about it and had zero expectations, so it was a nice surprise. Such a cute and sweet movie!

I'm so glad you're feeling better, this is a lousy time of year to be sick (but then, is there really a good one?) Thanks for the comments on UP!, I've seen differing opinions on it. I hope you get caught up soon!

I am glad you are feeling better. Being a sick mommy is really a help-less feeling!

It is so hard to be sick with little ones. You are so lucky to have a wonderful neighbor...and earplugs:-) We saw UP this past week and loved it...I actually cried! I didn't expect that.
