Recovering

My husband got sick over 2 weeks ago with a "virus." Little did I know that this was the beginning of a horribly long sick period in this house.

Gary was not even better from his virus when Charlie was struck with the stomach bug. It appeared to be quick but her diapers were nasty for 4 days. Hers hit on Wednesday afternoon and by Friday am, Dominic and Gary had come down with it. Gary was in bed for something like 36 hours. Dominic upwards of 30. It was horrible.

Friday was the anniversary of my Dads death. I had to quickly come home from the cemetery as Dominic needed me. On the ride home, Logan got sick all over the car. Projectile, nasty! As I was cleaning the car, he got sick all over the laundry area. I felt defeated by this point. Praying that I was going to remain healthy as the last person standing.

Saturday was spent with lounging and doing laundry while everyone was still recovering. Sunday came and although muscle aches and pains were still an issue, everyone appeared to be on the mend. Then I got hit. It moved in quickly and painfully. After having nights of no sleep while taking care of others, I spent Sunday night up constantly taking care of myself. By Monday morning, most of the sick was gone and aches were left to haunt me all day. The kids all went to school and Gary to work, leaving me home alone to work in the quiet. Surprisingly, I made it through the day.

As I type this today, the taste buds are still not back but the pains are gone. I am more than ready for Spring as this cold and flu season has rocked so many of us.

Trendy Tot Tuesday

 

I think this link up is adorable! I love little kids clothes, which is apparent when you look inside my kids closets. (They may have a bit too many clothes, maybe) I first saw this link up on Cari's blog a few weeks ago. Such a cute idea!

It is no secret that I big puffy heart Gymboree clothes for Charlie. Their little girl stuff is to die for! For my first link up, I will show some of my all time favorites for my kids.

Bathing suit: Gymboree

Hat: Gymboree

This is my all time favorite swim suit and hat. Their strawberry line has been on her since she was born and I continue to put outfits on her as she is approaching 2!

 Dress: Gymboree

Sweater: Gymboree

Tights: Gymboree (not shown) 

 Hair bows: Crazy 8

This denim dress is perfect in the winter with the sweater and tights but is also ready for spring and summer with the spaghetti straps. 

I am very much ready for spring and summer. Charlie has half a closet full of adorable dresses and tunics to wear. 

The boys are not as much fun to dress as Charlie is and Dominic is finally getting his own style and no longer allows me to pick out his outfits.  Logan is also one to pick his own clothes out now too.

 Shirt: Under Armor

Jeans: Old Navy

Shirt: Gymboree

Jeans: Gymboree
