I usually never just write...normally because of time...but, my R is in bed for the evening and Chris is also in bed with a fever...I figure he is coming down with the flu. I was just sitting on my couch and for once I feel at total peace, which I feel bad saying since my husband is sick ...so I pondered the WHY?
I decided that I went to bed last night in anticipation of this weekend! I had decided not to worry about what I needed to do and enjoy a family weekend. In addition, I had made lunch plans with my best friend and the weather was PERFECT! I woke up to Chris getting out of bed to get R and him throwing her down on my pillow and her face...what an amazing smile glaring on me as she snuggled in as close as she could get. Chris then got up to fix some breakfast, but not before a kiss good morning. Then came the easter egg hunt and after a lunch out with Kara. Yes, just myself and my best friend eating and talking. Believe me ladies...this is not overated. We then came home, expecting R to be awake and instead found her and Chris still passed out...(realizing Chris was sick and now had a fever)! Me and Kara slipped out for a walk around the neighborhood before she left. I woke R up and off we went to the store to shop for our easter dinner. The rest of the night unfolded with us tucking Chris into bed after giving him some medicine and me and R wrestling on the couch like she loves to do when she gets tired. To bed she went and on the couch I go with girl scout cookies and milk!
It was here I realized I am the luckiest girl in the world! That is sometimes hard to say when you are miles away from those you love the most and minutes away from your husband that you hardly ever see...due to his pro-bono work! (That is our joke for his school work that keeps him away from us!) But, it is all in the attitude. I figure I will head to church by myself in the morning with R and let Chris rest...and then home to cook for my family...that is nice to say..."MY FAMILY"...I am truly blessed!
I wish you all a Happy Easter with YOUR families!
