I have sooo many things to do. But instead, here I lay, on the couch once more. I have been trying to "rest" (such a relative term when you have three, little children) since I realized that I was really ill. It finally dawned on me that "if I want to EVER get better, I had better take it easy." It's so hard to be cognizant of minor facts like that when you're a mommy!
Today I woke up feeling a little better...I didn't feel breathless. So I got a bunch of things done this morning and was on a roll with a big list of things I was going to tackle this afternoon during rest time. Alas, my bronchi got the better of me and reminded me to slow down. So instead of keeping up the pace, I am laying here resting myself. Aaah, so much for my big plans. :) Hopefully I really will feel better by vacation.
At least my bathroom is clean (finally) and all of my laundry is folded and put away. And last week I made 40 quarts of applesauce. I know, I'm crazy. Not only because I'm the only weirdo who does applesauce in February (it turned out great by the way!), but also because it wasn't until after it was all over, did I realize that I was really sick. :)
I have a list a mile long of things I want to do in the next few days: dust, vacuum, mop, give myself a pedicure (hello sandals!), get back into the homeschool groove (only to abandon it once we leave!), pull luggage out of the attic, rummage through spring clothes in attic, do some touch-up painting, do our taxes (hello refund!), stop the mail...and on and on the list goes. I have come to realize that it is a wonderful thing to make plans, but as soon as I make a list (whether literal or mental) I can be sure that at least 25-50% are NEVER going to get accomplished. And the other things may be started, but never full finished. :) Oh well, it doesn't stop me from planning. And my goals help to guide and refocus me in the nitty-gritty of life. So I'll keep them around. :)
On a side note, here are some of my favorite, current Gracie-isms:
- a drink is "dink" or "dinky"... "I wanna dinky!" Said with a cute, lopsided smile that you can't resist
- sleep is "beep"..."Is Lah-lee going to beepy with me for nap?"
- (and my current favorite) finger is "ding-uhr"..."I hurt my ding-uhr! Can you kits (kiss) it?"
"Kitsing ding-uhrs" is one of my favorite Mommy jobs!!
