So unfortunately I have been under the weather all week this week. It has really put a kibosh to my blogging for a few days. But now I am back, feeling a bit better and thanking my stars that I really do have wonderful children and a wonderful family.
Being sick is never a fun thing. Being sick and being a single parent is even worse. There may be sick days from my job but there are no sick days from parenting. I stayed home from work Friday. As luck would have it Aeryn was also sick. And because the baby sitter was not feeling well I kept Alex with me as well. There unfortunately, is no resting on the couch when you have an almost one year old saying "eat! eat!". That would be Alex's new favorite saying. Today he saw my mother in her kitchen doing dishes and started to yell "eat! eat!". Apparently he thinks that any time Grammy goes to the kitchen she is supposed to come back with something for him to snack on. Silly little boy.
Now that we are all feeling better it is time to tackle the month of January. We have a bazillion (6) birthdays to celebrate all in the course of a couple of weeks. The one that is most prevailing in my mind is that of Alex. My adorable little man is going to be a year old this month. I can hardly believe it. Where did the time go? It seems like just yesterday I was looking into those warm brown eyes for the first time. It just shows how quickly time goes by and how much we have to cherish what we have. We have to find every little ray of sunshine and hold on to it with a force that could move the world. I know that I cherish mine. And even on the days when I am sick and still trying to juggle life, I would not trade it for anything in the world.
