memory lane

so this time, four (4) years ago, we’d had most of our shots. we were filling our malaria medication prescription. we were getting ready to pack and leave work for two weeks. it was almost time for the vacation of a lifetime. it was almost time for our trip to kenya. and it’s fresh in my mind right now because i FINALLY started working on a scrapbook of our photos. and i’ve discovered that i need to print MORE photos. seriously. MORE. because my book appears to be a little too short. and i feel like i’ve Ö

on the mend

well fans, it’s tuesday. around 4 o’clock this evening will mark ONE WEEK since i came down with the creepy crud (as i’m referring to it). it’s been a long and difficult week. and i’m not recovered yet. but i am on the mend. i was home, alone, with the kids all day yesterday and we made it through the day. it wasn’t always easy or pretty, but it went better than i thought. we (well, i) took it easy for 99% of the day. my body needs it.

davey i went to see our neighborhood doctor yesterday. mind you, i had JUST been there on tuesday afternoon, about 2.5 hours before my 48-hour bug hit. sheesh. so i have a cold. davey’s cold, to be exact. it’s nice that he’s sharing, but i’d rather he share his toys and books instead of his germs. davey, on the other hand, has a cold which gave him Ö

so yesterday was awful. i’m not expecting today to be tons better.

on tuesday night, i tried to go to bed at 8 pm. i took two tylenol (b/c i’d had a headache for hours) and a unisom (b/c i NEEDED to sleep). my body ached. i had a very sore throat. dave watched the kids, bathed them, put them both to bed… pretty much, he was the perfect daddy and husband.
