I am grateful for… my authentic self!
Smile through the yuck!
The picture is quite deceiving to the chaos swirling around me.
Right now, I have some strong jammies game and beat the kids to the punch.
I found myself with a kid who I thought was better throwing up from the shower to the toilet.
I thought I was out of the sick fog but it was all an illusion.
We have been living on water and cough drops for the last couple days.
BUT I saw the light at the end of the tunnel today by surviving two basketball games without breaking a sweat.
Having all four kids play outside (which I now realize might have not been the best idea) while I cleaned the house from top to bottom.
I made dinner from scratch tonight, something we haven’t seen in four days.
I have neglected my normal routine and can feel the side effects by having less patience than normal. Side note: must meditate tomorrow.
And somehow I know this too shall pass and we can look at this as a time we all got to slow down together.
