So we have the plague right now. Well, some of us do. Allison started it last Friday and is on the mend, but last night Marnie was running a temp. I'm just praying that Carmen avoids this bug, because it's a terrible cough and nighttime fever. I really don't need my 6 week old landing in the hospital!
You know, God may have made women with less physical stature and strength than men (usually), but we sure cornered the market on endurance! Until last night I hadn't slept in my own bed or for more than a two hour stretch for a full week. Yet each morning I get up and try to run my household. (Not that I've really been so good at that job this week, but still, I do my best!!) Caleb is a great help, don't think he's laying there sound asleep through it all or anything, but he can't feed the baby, and he's so busy and stressed right now with work that he doesn't wake as easily as I do. So I keep exercising my endurance by pressing on each day. Round two begins tonight with Marnie, I expect . . .
Spring feels like it's just waiting to pounce here in Lynnwood. I'm looking forward to getting my garden planted in the next week or so! The house just feels like a stagnant, congested box right now, so I'm itching to pull the plastic off the windows and begin a huge spring cleaning event. Should be interesting to see how much I can get done between feedings and naps with Carmen strapped in front of me in the Snuggly!!
As long as I'm not next in line for that cough, that is.
