We had a great weekend. Sean and Brooklyn especially loved Mesa Verde. I was feeling pretty sick while we were there and really just wanted to collapse into a bed...which I did the moment we arrived at our hotel, leaving Sean with three travel-weary and needy little girls to deal with on his own. He did great! I'm just glad he wasn't feeling as terrible as I was at that point.
While our night was rather rough, our Sunday morning time at the church in Cortez was wonderful. Such a blessing. We love our dear friends, the Maes family, that pastors there. What a treat to see them!
But we came home feeling pretty sick...again. Sean and I have both been battling similar symptoms for nearly a month now. We finally caved and went to the doctor together. (What a special date, huh?) Turns out we have matching sinus infections. Aren't we cute? Anyway, we're on antibiotics now. I'm feeling quite a bit better. Sean is still in bed, feeling under the weather. I'm looking forward to having this behind us. Lord, heal us! And protect us from any more of this junk.
We're looking forward to lots of family time this week. What a treasure! And the turkey is sure to be a treat too :-) My mouth is watering just thinking of all that Thanksgiving bounty!
Well, I'd better get around and at least do the chores for Sean. Poor guy. I know exactly how he feels.
What am I thankful for right now? That, although we've both been sick and pathetic, we somehow manage to be at different stages so that at least one of us can take care of the kids! And health insurance. And beautiful weather. And a comfortable home. And a trustworthy doctor. And hot tea. And medicine :-) And for feeling better, bit by bit.
It's still true what I said before - being thankful isn't all that hard when you take the time to recognize what you are blessed with, rather than focusing on the negative. Right now, it's a choice not to whine and complain about being so sick and miserable! But once that choice is made, it's not very hard to recognize the many things to be thankful for. It can always be worse.
Boy did I need this lesson. I was just whining and complaining about something to my sweet honey. I am so thankful for all the blessings. I wanted to tell you that I love your blog. I don't always comment ( I should because I know what comments mean to me). Your little family is beautiful.
