Day Numero Dos

I have the flu. I've been fighting it off and thought it was a cough. But then came the chills and the upset stomach. Setting that up as my backstory, here's what I'm grateful for today.

1. A loving husband who came home early to watch the kids for me. He got them dinner and put them to bed. He made sure I had what I needed and even did the disgusting dishes that have been sitting there for three days, because I've been sick.

2. A wonderful mother who convinced me to go the doctor and was planning to come to my house to watch my kids until Rick was able to come home.

3. Good health insurance. We're on COBRA right now from Rick's last job, which his former employer covers for three months. It's seriously awesome.

4. Smiles and cuddles from my sweet boy. He is such a happy kid most of the time. He gives great hugs, even though I know that part of the attraction for him is that he can stroke my long hair. I even secretly love that he got upset when Rick went to put him to bed; he just loves mama that much.

5. Piper is such a smart girl. She asks the most interesting questions and sees things in such a unique way. She also tells me all the time that she loves me, even when I'm grumpy (That always melts my heart AND makes me feel guilty).

Bonus: the Jayhawks played their first game tonight and won!
