Still Kickin'

I don't think I've spent this much time away from a computer in years!  Sorry to be such a lame blogger lately - I've been struggling to just remain upright.  

It's strange...there are ways that I've actually enjoyed being sick the past couple of days.  I (by necessity) have slowed down and am really just taking it all in.  I tried to tackle stuff on my to do list today, but I was literally sweating and gasping for breath after putting photos in an album, so I took the hint and took a break.  

I sat on the couch and just watched my little Thomas play today - so fascinating and sweet to watch his brain work...those pudgy little fingers grabbing the toys...and his little diaper butt running around the living room.  Man, I love that boy.  And I snuggled with Samantha more than my gotta-get-stuff-done self usually does.  And Clara and I had fun doing her homework instead of trying to just get it done already.  And I sat with Ben for a good 30 minutes and just listened to him talk about his day when he came home.

Why don't I do this every day?  What's more important than this?  Nothing, that's what.

A good "knock you off your feet" chest cold...apparently it's just what I needed!
