Take this week, I had imagined it many times. Busy but fun. Just a nice steady pace. We had visiting with family, our puppy's first obedience class, my husbands parents coming to stay for the weekend, and finally our big night out. My husband's Christmas Party. That once a year soiree where we get out and feel like grown ups. I even have a manicure booked at the spa. If you know me, you'll know that my lifestyle does not lend itself to a manicure. However, it's so nice to get all dressed up and look at freshly polished nails rather than trying to guess what exactly a cuticle is anyways.
But I digress. This week has been eventful to say the least. Monday evening I got sick. Sick enough to go to bed and wonder if the weekend would come and go with me still in bed (ha! like I'd have that luxury!) Tuesday was fantastic with a wonderful visit with family we haven't seen in a long time. But just about the time to leave them, I started feeling really lousy as a result of a vaccination. Another early night in bed but this time with the chills and my skin crawling. Yesterday, I fell down the stairs while trying to clean up the house. I was taking a big plastic box that held the evidence of our Christmas decorations that went unused. That took a big part of my afternoon and just plain ruined it.
So I have high hopes for today. I still need to clean, and finish preparing for the party tomorrow... But the calvary is arriving in the form on loving grandparents who will kindly overlook any missed mess in favor of gazing upon their grandchildren.
