Since it's tax season I thought I'd do a little post about the things in my life that I can't seem to avoid. This is what my family room looked like this morning:
Yes, it has been a week and half since I did laundry, and yes, I did get all those clothes put in baskets before naptime today. However, we will see if they get put away before I have to do laundry again next week . . .
At least the kid are understanding. I have had to run down to the laundry room the past couple days to get clean clothes for us all to put on in the mornings.
This:
is one of the reasons I haven't done laundry in so long and why I had SO much to do over the last few days. The kids have all been sick with some funky bug. We've had the whole gamut of symptoms around here - fevers, throwing up, diarrhea, crankiness, tummy aches, headaches, etc. etc. I finally got them all put on antibiotics a few days ago, and they are all doing much better. Can you believe I have six bottles of amoxicillin in my fridge!?!
I am usually not a big fan of medicine, but Connor tested positive for strep, and since they'd all been sick for so long, I figured we may as well get them all on the drugs!
Now, if I could just figure out what's wrong with me. I've been having these weird pains for almost a month, and I just haven't really felt up to much. I have an appointment tomorrow so we'll see if I can get started on some answers.
Halley and Dallin had fun watching me fold the laundry, and Halley even helped a little.
I am grateful for:

1. The health we and all of our loved ones are enjoying, even if it's not perfect, we are all alive.
2. Our taxes will help us to finish the yard in the next couple weeks.
3. The fact that we have clothes to wear and a roof over our heads.
4. Supportive family and friends who help me to get through the unavoidable things in life.
5. My amazing husband. (Did I mention the fact that he is gone the next two weeks? Even the easy things seem so much harder when he's gone!)
6. Four beautiful children who make me laugh and make me cry! Being a mom is the hardest and most amazing job there is!
And that's that. Despite the fact that we have never ending piles of clothes and lots of medicine to give, I still have so much to be thankful for!

Laundry is never done. But I will say, I'm thankful for an automatic washer and dryer. If I had to wash by hand, there would a lot less baths, a lot less clothes, and a lot more stinkiness. I just read about Wes on facebook. I sure hope they get this straightened out sooner rather than later. Take care!
I hope you are all feeling better soon! Sick kids are hard - I hope you get yourself figured out too. Is everything OK?
My girls go so they would whine when there was no more pink medicine they had strep so many times this winter. It is no fun. It is nice, and a blessing, that life is harder when your husband is gone. That means you are a luck lady!
