Last night when I was at the grocery store, I bought some purple lights and put them inside the pumpkin so now they flicker. I thought David would like it when he wakes up in the morning since it’s generally dark. But Nathaniel enjoyed it even more.
All day long, he kept walking to it and pointing to it.
When we got David from school, it was his library day so he came home with a book and immediately sat on the couch to read it. I cannot tell you the joy this brings to my life.
He also lifted Nathaniel’s spirits up.
And made him laugh so very hard.
The kids then played while i worked briefly on my art page and nathaniel spilled some water all over himself so I had to take his top off and when I talked to him, this is the face he gave me.
Even though the photos might deceive you, both kids are sick. David has a runny nose and Nathaniel has a runny nose and fever. He’s super cranky. He’s also drooling so I am guessing it’s teeth but thankfully his 18month appointment is tomorrow so we will find out for sure.
Three Things I’m Grateful For:
1. I am grateful that I walked 2 miles today. I felt better and walked as fast as I could.
2. I am grateful that I am home and can take care of my kids when they are sick.
3. I am grateful that people are being so kind and generous with me. And allowing me the opportunities I really wish for. I am so lucky and so grateful.
Three Things David’s Grateful For:
1. watching a little TV with mommy and nathaniel
2. playing with daddy
3. checking out my book from the library
I can almost hear Nathaniel laugh, what a great shot!!!!
Hi Karen,
Thank you for inquiring how I did at the doctors. She said that she wants me to exercise and eat right diligently for the next four weeks, then come back in and see how I’m doing. There is no doubt that I have depression symptoms, but rather than mess with the drugs (again!) she thinks that a bit of self-care would do me a world of good. It made me feel rather stupid to have her tell me what I already knew, but there we are. All my numbers were good, I have gained back the 5 pounds, but that could be worse, and cholesterol and all that stuff was good. With regards to exercise and eating right, she stressed to me that I should just do it, not wait till I felt motivated. So I’m going to start. Wish me luck, hopefully I’ll feel better soon! I’ll be watching your progress on your blog.
Oh, and as a comment on your blog, I love your daily pictures too! You have such beautiful little boys. I appreciate that you remind me to be grateful too. That’s easy to forget when you’re stressed.
Have a wonderful day, and thank you!
well pat, I think it’s certainly worth a try right? I like that idea about just doing it and not waiting for motivation. I, for one, never feel motivated. I just do it. i tell myself it’s nonnegotiable. do it. I know you can!!!
