Back Foot

~Dinosaur Pile-Up

This darned virus is knocking all of us down. My voice went from bad, to worse. All I could do was make quiet squeaky sounds, yesterday. That made it much more difficult to look after three little toddlers. They wanted to touch and explore all of the new Christmas decorations around the house. I found myself clapping to grab their attention, so that I could get down on their level and have my barely audible voice be heard. My squeaky “no no, don’t touch please” wasn’t quite as assertive, which also presented a challenge.

Last night, Adam began to feel crummy. He had chills, body aches, and was extra sleepy. I could tell he didn’t relish having to get up and go to work, this morning. Wyatt also woke up with a sore throat. I’m downstairs, with the little kiddos. They’re going back and forth between playing, and then climbing under blankies and watching cartoons.

We’ve mostly just been taking it easy. Everybody needs extra rest right now. I don’t normally let them watch TV for much of the day, but this is a good time for an exception to that rule.

That’s about all the “news” I have to report here. Not a whole lot of excitement at my house! Hopefully everyone will be back to good very soon.
