The Hard

This week has been one of those "hard" weeks. I started developing signs of sickness on Tuesday morning. By Tuesday night I had a sore throat and a cough, Wednesday I added the shakes and a fever, Thursday I added a stuffed up nose, and by Friday night I was in tears because I still felt so rotten. Here is a list of things that I did not do after Tuesday morning this week:

• Laundry
• Make Supper
• Get groceries
• My devotions
• Devotions with Kate
• Dishes
• Bedtime prayers and storytime
• Everything else a stay-at-home mom should be doing

So, you wonder, who did all that? My AWESOME husband took care of everything. He made supper, he got groceries, cleaned up the kitchen, put the kids to bed, picked up toys, left work early TWO nights when I called to tell him I couldn't handle it any more. He deserves some sort of reward, he has been the absolute best, but unfortunately, what does he get... his turn with the sickness. :(

It was hard for me to literally sit around and do nothing while Mike had to literally do everything, on top of his job. I felt pretty useless, but I'm so thankful for my health that is slowly starting to improve, and the help of my husband, who was probably so exhausted from burning the candle at both ends, that now he is getting sick too. I guess it figures, we hadn't been sick at our house for a LONG time.....I'd almost hoped we'd made it to spring without catching anything nasty, but I guess we are taking our turn with this crazy sickness.

Mike, Thanks for all you did!!! You are the best!!!!
