The past two weeks were rough for me and my little family. Immediately after my launch party I got a nasty, nasty cold that lasted for a solid week and had me in bed a lot. I never get in bed in the middle of the day. Never. So for me to do so means it was bad. I finally got better and then my sweet one and a half year old got sick with croupe. He was rid of it in a few days thanks to some steriods, but then got a bug/fever/cold. He only JUST got better on Monday so we have had some serious sickness in this house.

Needless to say it was frustrating feeling like I couldn’t do any work and all I was doing was taking care of sick people whether it was myself or my son, but, if I’m completely honest, I enjoyed him being sick. That sounds weird, I know, but I was so grateful to have him want me and only me to cuddle up and sleep in my arms. He is always on the go and snuggles are limited, but I got my fill in over that week. There is nothing more precious than being able to hold your sick child and comfort them knowing only you can make them feel better. I was in awe at how relaxed he got while sleeping on me.

So excuse my social media presence the last few weeks, but it was well worth it and the work will get done. 🙂
