In no particular order…
1. It is 9:00 a.m. and I think I just heard my phone ringing downstairs, but I’m not going to get it. You know why? Because I am in bed. On my laptop. And you know what else? The rest of my family is sleeping next to me still. Because the flu? It’s still here in all it’s nasty coughing and fevers and aching and crying. For the past three nights we just lined the kids up on the floor in our bedroom with lots of blankets and pillows and stuffed animals and a humidifier. It was much easier to have them all here with us than to have to get up out of bed every couple hours, run downstairs, calm crying children, and go back to sleep for a few precious minutes. Thankfully, they are getting better, it’s just really slow going. Bri is still feeling it. He did some minor work around the house yesterday and it wore him out, but I remind him that’s because he’s old. I, amazingly, still have not gotten it. Thank you for your prayers.
