I wanted to announce, "stay in bed" this morning, but the drive to be a good mother overcame the urge to sleep. Long sick days are hard on the entire family. Mom is tired far before the children are, Mom is breaking and starting fevers every few hours, and Mom just wants a break--or some help. As soon as the younger kids were off....
I spent my whole morning cleaning tubs filled with dust, dirt, and mouse poop, only to come home after the last school drop off at noon and see empty tubs waiting to be filled. 13 is a lucky number, per my sweet friend Anna.... I'm praying that move #13 is NOT our last, but that it brings many good things to come. I'm looking at the situation at hand as though it already is so.
Instead of packing tubs, because I am very worn thin (and still sick), I decided to put on my heels from Christmas (in my sweat pants and pony tail) and walk around my house! Who woulda' known that my husband would get me the most comfortable heels I've ever had??? His theme for me was Cinderella; he chose clearance odds and ends that were perfect. The fit of the shoe: perfect. Oddly enough, I got the girls a 7 princess Barbie collection for Christmas and asked them to pick 3 out for themselves and I would have the 7th. Guess what? When all was said and done, I was left with Cinderella.
My favorite princes as a little girl: Cinderella
My Halloween costume this year: Maiden Cinderella
My Christmas theme: Cinderella
My current role: house cleaning Cindrella, in some torn rags, I admit
My dream for eternity: a type of Cinderella, but replace everything after the "C" with "rystal"! But it will only come once the work here is done!!!
To hard days, that eventually end....may the odds be ever in our favor (Haha)!
Health update to come....
Better yet, children updates ahead....
Lovingly, Miss Crys AKA Cinderella
