In six short days, we get to see Michael. We are all counting down the days. It will only be one day that we get to see him, so I hope the kids don't all get their hopes up that he will be here longer.
Friday night and Saturday were probably the worst so far. I have had sick children. When Nora is sick, she is sweet and loving and quiet. When Clark is sick, he is a monster. He cried pretty much all day Friday. When he wasn't crying he was complaining about something. I started feeling sick myself on Friday and to top it off....our cars brakes seem to be going out again. We have already had them fixed 3 different times. Luckily 2 of those times were under warranty. I just wish they would fix it for good so I don't have to keep going in a waiting. Friday night, we got home and there was the all to familiar chirping sound coming from the fire alarm. It wasn't a big deal, but it seemed like a big deal after the day I had been through :)
I have decided to be grateful for friends today.
It has been hard not to close myself off from the world and just be a hermit. Luckily I have had people who have been very good to me while Michael is gone. I had 2 different friends invite me over to watch the Tigers game yesterday. I had a friend offer her sons weeding services so my backyard could look a little better. I had a friend text me asking if I wanted my usual from Swig. I have had several friends continually offer to watch my kids so I could have a break. I had a friend invite my family over for breakfast this morning.
I am grateful for friends who help me to not just sit at home and feel sorry for myself !
