The Christmas season is winding down and we are preparing for a new year. Christmas was a special time spent with loved ones and watching the joy in my children's faces as they opened each and every gift with appreciation. It's such an amazing time of year.
Then, I got sick! I had cold symptoms, a fever, and a body rash. I spent the first few days in my room and away from the family, trying my best not to pass it along. It was difficult and made me feel like a bad mom. I should be there with my family, spending this precious time with them and keeping up with the cleaning. My husband did the cooking and I appreciate it, but I feel it was an inconvenience for him. This cold definitely knocked me down, I'm still feeling it, but I'm trying not to let it control me anymore. I'm still congested and still have that crazy rash but I'm getting through it.
My husband and I like to make a big purchase together every year and this year we bought a new exercise machine. It's awesome. I used it today for a little bit and plan on making it part of a daily routine. I've made a lot of unhealthy choices this year and my body is showing it. I need to do better. I will do better.
My husband and kids went out of town today to do a ton of shopping. I was going to join them but having to deal with all this itchiness all I wanted to do was stay at home covered in cream. I'm also working on some housecleaning. Cleaning the house that's never clean. I really have to accept this reality but it's hard to. I want a clean house. I hate when my husband points out something that isn't clean. I want to say, "Okay, shut up and clean it. Help me out." But I just want to be the one that can get it all done. I try to get my kids more involved in chores but then I just end up redoing what they did because they didn't do it correctly. I'm teaching myself to know that everything that needs to get done will get done eventually.
That's it for now. Catching up on This is Us, getting housework done and waiting to start some new and old New Years Eve traditions with the family tonight.
