Surviving

I should have updated yesterday, but I didn't have the energy. This cold, black plague...whatever, is really taking a toll on the family; not to mention its own sweet time to go away!

But, I wanted to take a few minutes to let you know that while we remain sniffly, achy, and very tired, we are still kicking. Gracie is being taken care of (not that you could doubt that), but I know several of you get worried when I don't post for a few days :)

I have passed the days by continuing my creative streak, and ignoring the dishes. Not that there are too many dishes, since we have been living off of corn bread. I don't much care for it, but Gracie loves it and on Sunday I made 4 mini loaves of the stuff, and she can't get enough. Besides the corn bread making I have started (yes, I said started) on Gracie's scrapbook. She's 2 and a half, but anyone with small children knows that extra time for crafts can be limited. In addition to scrapbooking (I am up to "coming home from the hospital"), I have been sketching out ideas for Candice's newly decorated lliving room. She said something about wanting to put something on the bare walls :) Elliott get ready for a new "honey-do list!"

I snapped the picture above this afternoon, to prove that Gracie is happy and clean, and at least for today...dressed! She is in her usual spot reading--something she does now for nearly half-hours at a time. It seems that while she's always enjoyed reading her books, she now wants to do that most of the time. I go looking for her after 15 minutes of silence to see what she is in to, and I find her in a pile of books on the floor reading to herself. I will have to video it sometime, she comes up with the neatest stories.

Thanks for the get well wishes, and I certainly hope that none of you get this whatever it is. It really drains you and you are sore all over and barely able to do simple tasks. So far I don't have the sniffly part, but I am sure I will soon. Poor Gracie has been trying to get over this for nearly a week. But, I am confident we will all be fine. And, we send our best wishes to all of you.
