Or not. I'm sick, Gwennie's sick, Henry is getting all glassy-eyed and snuffly, there is no way we're making it out of this house today. I'm a little bummed since I spent all of that time daydreaming about a fun quality-time-filled trip with my four little munchkins. But that's not going to happen. Not today.
Today we're going to lay around like this.
We'll probably have a tea party. We had one yesterday, but we'll do it again today because our poor, scratchy throats need tea, and it's just better when it's a party. When I'm not looking Henry will pour his own tea and water the rest of the table with it in the process. But it's cool, we're sick today.
We'll snuggle and read. It'll happen in two minute bits throughout the day because that's approximately how long Henry will sit before he climbs into your face demanding something that is vitally important to his well being.
It'll be fun and exhausting. I'll be praying for my sanity before nap time and wishing for more hours with them at bedtime.
In the end, the awesome part is that we still get to have a day together. All four of them together, imagining, screaming, creating, crying, and loving.
I think God let us be sick on purpose. We needed this time to be together today. I didn't realize it before, but I'm thankful for it now.
Have a happy day, friends :)
