So I spent late Christmas eve and all of Christmas day emptying my stomach from the flu instead of visiting family and eating treats. Two boys shared the experience with me and still have lingering flu-like symptoms. Doug chose to feel fine until midday Thursday when the flu found him and Josiah spent most of the day on the sofa with a fever. They are all sleeping now. I'm feeling somewhat better, although I'm a little tired since Jayden spent last night emptying his dinner into his bed and then he only wanted to sleep right next to mama. My house is still pretty messy and as soon as I'm done checking emails, I'll be frantically working to clean up a bit before they all wake up.
I suppose this sounds a little like a "glass half empty" sort of story and a little pity party for my hope for a quiet Christmas at home - but really other than the obvious unpleasantness of the flu, it did force us to stay home and rest, which is apparently something we all needed. Oh yes, would the rest been nicer without the stomach aches and constant laundry - sure - but I guess rest is rest:). Hope you all had a more pleasant Christmas holiday.
a few of my thoughts about photography, style and other miscellany. . .
