This is what was left on the table tonight after I cleaned up dinner.  I didn't even realize that they were on the table until I had cleaned everything else off and was reaching for the last thing.. Meredith's ruby slippers.  "There's no place like home."  Poignant for me since this week has mostly been spent, well, at home!  And I believe it, really!  There isn't anyplace that I would rather be.   

How much does Mama love you???

THIS much...

Before we got sick...

...we went to the park!  Snow is in the forecast this evening, but on Friday, the weather was beautiful.  Michael,  Meredith and I took a walk to the "blue park" which is about 6 blocks away.  I was just starting to get the aches and chills so the walk seemed like it was more like 6 miles, but I am glad that we were able to take advantage of our early spring weather.

We are sick at our house. It has been an incredibly yucky few days. My guess is that we have the flu... the real, live flu for which we declared we did not need shots against this fall. At least that is how Patrick tells it because HE got a flu shot. Hmmmm... Next year, you can be sure that we are ALL going to be getting flu shots. Having the flu has made me:

• crave Fresca and chicken soup
• go to Walgreens in my pajamas
  
• not take a shower for 3 days (I have taken plenty of baths to try to get warm so I think I am clean?)
  
• not do the laundry all week long
• nap without feeling guilty
• not clean anything, except the kitchen
  
• let the kids watch movies all day long, unless they are napping
• SO thankful that I am very rarely this sick

Hopefully the next time you hear from me, the flu will have left our house. Until then, cheers to a healthy you! ( with my Fresca.)
