So, it doesn't really matter whether I'm sick or not, it's Christmas and when you have a child, you have to suck it up. It's like that all year round. Moms never get sick days. Dads do. They can take a day off of work and lie in bed like big babies, but Moms have to keep going and going and going like the damn Energizer Rabbit. Now I'm lucky, because when I'm sick and John's home, he totally lets me rest and does everything else. He's great that way. I'm never as patient with him. Plus, I have one child, so I'm off the hook a bit. But still, it can wear me out. Especially during the Christmas season.
Of course, I caught Katie's cold and we've had non-stop holiday functions to go to: John's work dinner, the ward Christmas party, our annual visit to Sinter Claus and a Dutch party with John's siblings and our annual Soup & Lights party hosted by my cousin. All this since last Thursday. I totally pushed myself too hard and spent most of the day in bed on Sunday. That's probably backwards, but oh well. I don't want Katie to miss out and truthfully, I don't either. I look forward to these kinds of things. I just drug myself and put on a happy face. I mean, it's Christmas time, what else can you do?!!
And my nephew Mitchell, just because he's so cute!

Mark was sick recently- spent the WHOLE day in bed. That day I took care of TWO big BABIES...I lose a lot of respect for Mark when he's sick- what a boob!
It can only get better from here though right?
GO MOM. Hope you are feeling better!
I'm so glad you came to our party even if you were sick. (my verification word is supla- kind of like the party!)
