I missed yesterday's thankfulness posting and didn't even realize it until just now. That was because last night, the minute I'd made sure each child was bathed, brushed, jammied, read-to, prayed-with, and tucked into their beds, my body hit the couch and it was all over. After many months of relative health, I'm a little under the weather.
It's nothing serious, thankfully. I do find myself remembering my former self, the one with no dependents and a job I could call in sick to, and how I would still complain that I felt crappy, oblivious to the LUXURY of being able to sit on the couch all day watching trash TV and feeling crappy without any other responsibilities. Former self, SOAK IT UP! Mamas don't get sick days.
That said, I've no shortage of things for which I am thankful. The kids aren't sick (at the moment,) Eden and Judah both have their classes today, and I ought to be able to get either a shower or a nap this afternoon while the little girls sleep. I'm pretty well-stocked on groceries, and there's plenty of Kleenex. Also, I've found THIS stuff, and it is so very comforting.
I'd like to bathe in it. And fall asleep.

Oh dear friend, I wish you felt better! I got home from dropping Dana off this morning and was all mad at your cold for stealing you from me. Stupid friend-stealing germs. No consideration.
