Welcome!

Sickness

I've caught something. Or maybe it was taking pain pills (for my back, doctor says I need a backiotomy!) on an empty stomach and having vodka and oysters for dinner (you know what I'm talking about miss brinkks). Either way Ive been laid up in bed all morning in the fetal position. Funny thing of it is, as horrible as I feel there is something about these 2 nugget heads laughing/crying/snuggling in bed with me that makes this all more bearable. (hopefully this is self inflicted and not contagious).

I can hear Stella Jane and Kyle in the living room and it makes my heart swell. Kyle offering Stella some milk, Stella announcing over and over and over that she is putting her shoes on. And sweet Jane and her new found coos and giggles.

I might be being overly sentimental from feeling so terrible and weak or maybe the 18 episodes of little bear we watched this morning are rubbing off on me. Either way I feel so thrilled and fulfilled to be hibernating with my family today.
