Mom vs. the virus

and, another one bites the dust – at 4:30am.  Trying to slide into the bathroom downstairs (don’t ask me why kids don”t head for their very own bathroom which is infinitely closer … upstairs), both area rugs were nailed.  Thank goodness all the stairs were missed.  I’m always looking at the bright side of things.  So, everything is cleaned, too, in a different area of the house.

The kid got bored right away, “Can I go to bed, now?”  I was asked as I started to plan my clean-up.  Pail in hand, I sent the child back to bed.  Another day at home.  Another mass missed.  Because my hubby teaches 3rd grade RE (and I pretty much made him call for a sub last week when the greater majority of us were ill and had no business being around people), he’ll be going to mass with the other kids.

I get it now, this virus was sent my way to

1. make me appreciate good health and increase our immunity

2. make me clean my area rugs

3. make me miss/crave/long for MASS. 

I’d appreciate prayers for Angelina, who remains healthy, but is still recovering from oral surgery.  May you and yours stay healthy and immune to this virus.

    Clare is sick now with a terrible cough....she is the only one who doesn't take her vitamin C....coincidence?

    Hoping everyone is feeling better soon!

    Glad Angelina is doing better. What a week, huh?

    Had to laugh at your positive outlook on cleaning those oft-neglected area rugs :)
    Prayers for good health and no more missed potties!!
    PS How awesome that hubby is teaching 3rd grade CCD! Go Mr. L!
