How to do this without whining? I am feeling almost all the way back to normal after what I think I would call the worst illness of my life. Not totally sure what kind of virus I had but the doctor thinks it was possibly viral meningitis. Isn't that a scary sounding word? Basically, it boils down to that it felt like a horrible flu that wouldn't go away. I think I spent 10 days in bed which is hard when you're the mom. My hubby and my kids rock - they helped so much. I really appreciate every one's love and concern and it really did help to know there were family and friends thinking of me and praying for me.
The kicker of it all was that we didn't get to go to CA for Thanksgiving. No visiting my mom and dad's remodeled house, no new niece snuggling, no Amy belly seeing, no game playing and eating, no laughing and hanging out with my wonderful fam. At first, I was too sick to think about it. Now I'm so sad. I am glad that we get to go to Camryn's blessing this weekend and see part of my family. I am missing Mike and Amy and Owen and Chris and Lindsay and Hudson (Thanks so much guys for all you did for my kids while I was sick. They loved coming to visit). I hope to see you all as soon as I can.
Our Thanksgiving wasn't bad though. How lucky are we to have such great friends that have us to dinner and don't mind when I spend the day on the couch. The food was great and the company even better. I stole this cute pic from Riley's blog.
We enjoyed a lot of Watson family time as well. It is always great when Patrick has time off. He works so hard and it's so fun to have him home. I am grateful for many things this time of year but right now I am super grateful that I am back among the living! Hope your Thanksgiving was wonderful!
