I laugh now at my post from January 29th because, just as I thought we were finally getting healthy, I came down with a 24hr stomach virus on the evening of the 30th. Thankfully, Jody was able to take the following day off, thanks to a canceled court appearance, and pick up his parents from the airport. By Saturday morning I was feeling much better and we were able to get out of the house and do some exploring in Snohomish.
The remainder of the day was nice and relaxing.......as we prepared for the big game on Sunday.
We were a house divided for the Superbowl, since Jim & Jill were routing for their home team, but it was all Seahawks for the entire game.......and we needn't rub it in :) Our victory would have been a bit sweeter if Jody had felt better, but he started feeling nauseous during the 4th quarter and went straight to bed when the game was over. I wish the story ended there but, turns out, grandma Jill was also up the majority of the night and Jim didn't feel 100%. Come Monday morning, I was the last adult standing while everyone else was still on the crummy side. To make matters worse, poor Jim had to get on a plane and I felt terrible that his departing gift was a nasty bug.
Jill was here for the remainder of the week and, I'm happy to report, there were no more instances of all night bathroom camp outs :) We celebrated our health, and my sweet boy turning 2 1/2, with cupcakes....because cupcakes make everything better.
We, reluctantly, sent grandma Jill home on Friday but I'm so thankful she was able to spend the week with us. We're already counting down to the next time we'll see them......in Mexico!!!!
This is totally off topic, but if any of you are looking for a really great book to read may I suggest "Believing God" by Beth Moore. I'm only halfway through and I've filled a dozen pages with wisdom that I don't want to forget.
