Day 15: Every silver lining has a cloud...

Today I am not feeling well.  My kids' colds finally caught up with me, and under normal circumstance my husband would take over, and I would crawl into bed, and he would make me soup, and kiss me on the forehead and tell me to get better.  But he's not here...

And I realize that I have taken a lot for granted in the past few years.  A load of laundry here and there, an occasional pizza in the oven, and sweeping and vacuuming from time to time really do add up, especially when they are subtracted.

And the hugs...I really miss his hugs, and the sound of his heartbeat, and his chin resting on top of my head.

I hate being sick.  I hate it even more without my husband.

  2. Big hugs to you today. I know the kids will do their best to hug on you. ;-) It sucks being sick and on your own though. I remember that way back from college days. My offer still stands to have you all come out for dinner if you would like one evening.. even with your sniffles. ;-) I can make chili and cornbread or something warm & yummy.
