It hasn't been a very good week. Actually, the last few weeks have been rough around here, mainly due to the kids getting sick on and off, rashes, noses, ears - the whole bit. To top it off the Mama got sick too, and when Mama gets sick, the whole household tends to just stop.
I'm lucky though, because even with Gabe working long hours, I have the gift of two Moms of my own making soup and tidying up and taking care of my kids while I'm laid up myself. And a Dad who will drive me to the doctors. Yesterday, through the headache and the burning throat and the body ache, I felt a lot of gratitude, watching my Mom and Mom-in-law chatting in my kitchen, my dad on the couch with the kids. I'm really lucky to have so much homemade soup in my fridge and parents who will exchange shifts and smiles, settling in to take care of me and my family.
