The Born household continues to take a beating from this ridiculous cold that has been upon us for just shy of three weeks now. Brady lost his voice and was feeling pretty horrific, but being the man he is, he powered through a ten hour work day and came home to us with a smile on his face. Unfortunately, he’s feeling worse as the day wears on 🙁 I’m SO thankful for the kids having a decent day today! We’ve had some hard days recently, with lots of attitudes and punishments and struggles, but today was better! The kids were in better spirits, and in better health. They played really well together, and even shared the prized toys that tend to get hidden by whoever had them last. There was less complaining, no time outs, and they napped without a fight. I’m feeling pretty disgusting still, but nowhere near how Brady feels. My throat in in pretty decent pain, and there is always mucus in it, so that just adds to the ick factor :/ But I’ve definitely felt worse than this, so we’ll take it! Therefore, while we had a smoother day and Brady had a rougher one, it probably helped a little bit that he didn’t come home to chaos the way he sometimes does.
We opted not to drive to our lot today, in an effort to be grown ups and not have to go every day, haha! But my dad did, and sent us this picture!
The tarping means that the walls were officially poured today! Eek!!! We’ll potentially venture out there tomorrow, since they’ll have the forms pulled off at least. From there, we’ll leave it alone over the weekend, and hopefully the framing will start really really soon! I can’t wait!!
We rocked a really easy supper and watched some tv with the kids, but Rowan was SO done SO early. He’s the one kid thats still feeling it pretty hard. His hair is cemented to his face with boogers every morning. Delicious, I know. So he was pretty over it by the time bedtime routine began. But he’s such a smart kid, and he knows when its bedtime, because as soon as we start changing diapers and jammies and such, he is so much happier! He plays and crawls and seems wide awake. He just knows he will soon get what he wants. Bed.
On that note, Brady and I are also ready for bed very very soon. Tomorrow is a new day! I hope for a much better one for Brady, and hopefully more of the same for me! Sickies can’t be choosies!
I totally get it. Myself and the kids came down with the flu this week which is a huge bummer since we were gonna go the homeschool conference and now it’s probably just a matter of time before justin gets it too. Hope you guys are better soon
Oh no!!! I hope you guys are well soon too! Like I said, we haven’t had the flu cycle thru yet but I dread the day, thats for sure!! The common cold in this many people is enough 🙁
