2014 - A dubious beginning

 
Looks like fun!  Hard to believe it, but Dawson is wedged between Carter and Mike!
 
 
Well, 2014 has certainly hit me hard.  What began as a case of wine flu turned into a three day bout struggling to keep food down.  On Friday I was so weak from not eating for the past three days, I began to get dizzy and start to black out every time I stood up.  The poor kids were on a steady diet of television and whatever food they could find.  For lunch Carter served his brother and sister a very balanced diet of candy canes, tortilla chips, lara bars and cheese sticks.  Well, thankfully Mike was able to come home from work early and rescue me!  The good news is I'm feeling much better today and have even been able to keep food down.  It's so easy to take your health for granted, but it really is such a huge blessing.
 
 
So the kids have been spending lots of time playing with Christmas toys, jumping on the trampoline, and reading books with me.  On Thursday I was able to spend some time laying on the floor reading James and the Giant Peach with Carter.  Let me tell you, this kid is hooked!  He was begging me not to stop reading "Please, just one more word Mom!"  I even sat next to the tub and read to him for about twenty minutes while he was getting washed up.  This kid loves Roald Dahl!  So obviously not too much excitement here.  Once again I'm so thankful to Mike for taking care of me for THREE days, keeping the house going and the kids occupied.  2014 only has to get better from here, right?
