Sick of Sickness

Although my week started strong with my 'to do list,' I was sidetracked. I had a sick boy from Tuesday until now. We all went into 'isolation' so as not to infect anyone else.

So after my shopping trip with Gram, Mom and Eli, I came home with a vomiting boy. He just hasn't been himself in days. My 'to do list' productivity was severely shortened due to his sickness. I'm not complaining, really, just sad that I didn't get more done. Oh, well.

We didn't even attend the family dinner or events on Thursday. My parents/Grandmother brought our cards and 'doggie bags' late Thursday afternoon while Eli took the longest nap EVER!!! (It was over four hours!)

Also on Thursday, Husband and I decided to not go shopping for the Black Friday sales. We thought we'd do most of our shopping online and take advantage of no shipping costs and no lines. So, I spent a few hours doing the shopping before I went to bed on Thursday.

Friday morning, I woke up early and couldn't go back to sleep. So, I headed to the sewing room to work on some projects. A couple of hours later, in comes Husband.

"Let's go shopping," he says.

"What??!??!?"

"Let's go. Eli's better, we haven't been out of the house. Let's go."

After further discussion, we did go shopping for a few hours. Funny thing is, we went to two of the stores where I had shopped online the night before! And, one of them had lines so long that we put back the additional items we picked up and went home...bummer!

The weekend ended with us putting up the tree and lights around the house. We also took a new pic of Eli for our card and had those printed.

All in all, we had a good week even if Eli was sick.

And, since school has started, I've already missed one day. Eli and his illness regressed on Monday afternoon. I won' t give the gory details but know that Husband had to clean the backseat and the carseat...yuck! (I got to clean up the boy!) He just wanted to cuddle on Monday night and Tuesday so I had to take off...hard to say you don't want to cuddle with your little boy!

I'm hoping to sleep in my own bed tonight and not in the recliner upstairs. Wish me luck!
