Us Right Now – April 9

jake
Jake had a great week. He went to his new office every day and since David was home sick all week, he got to spend full days at work and they were super-productive. He’s been so helpful to me, too and so much fun to have around. I am loving this new life and really really praying and hoping and wishing for only good things to come his way. My husband is an amazing man and he deserves so much in life. I love him so.

This week was rough for me. I’d blame David and that he was around all week but to be honest, he’s as nice as can be and he gave me a lot of space. I just didn’t feel up for doing anything all week. I did all my work and even my regular daily tasks but I was grouchy and tired and uninspired all week. Which is one reason I took yesterday off so I could have a full three-day weekend and relax and see if I can get my passion, purpose, energy, or at least, will, back.

David was home all week. He had a fever on and off the entire time. I took him to the doctor on Thursday and thankfully there was nothing wrong but it still was terrible to see him sick and coughing and his nose dripping all week. He was a good boy and stayed quiet and read books and did his workbooks and quietly played with legos all week long. He even lost his wii day but he was gracious about it. I hope my boy is well again soon.

Nathaniel was thrilled to have his brother home all week. He read books alongside his brother. He sat with him while David played on the computer and they played with the flower toy together. Nathaniel was just a happy camper. He also decided vegetables were overrated and will not eat them unless I put them on his plate without alternatives and will not give anything else until he’s done. Some days that doesn’t work either. But we keep trying because it’s good for him and because we love him so so much.
