Dear 2011......


It appears that we may have gotten off on the wrong foot.  It seems for the past oh I don't know eight weeks or so, at least one if not multiple members of my family have been ill.  I am DONE!  All I ask is for a well family.  I will even forgo the sleep (it's overrated anyway, and I have done pretty well without it so far), as long as there is no:  snot, coughs, vomit, fevers, or any other associated symptoms present in my dwelling. 
I really think that you and I could be friends, and that this year holds the possibility of many fond memories that we could share together.  But please, PLEASE, all I ask is that my family is healthy.  I know it could be worse, and I am eternally grateful for this life that I have been given, but enough is enough.  My poor babies can't take much more of this, and Logan really can't miss anymore school. 
I imagine we are constantly inflicted with illness because of the fact that we are always cooped up in this darn house and we are unable to consume fresh air because of the frigid temperatures and horrible weather outside.  I know that this will change in just a couple of months when we move to a more appeasing climate and my children are able to spend the majority of their days outside running and playing like children should, not cooped up sharing germs back and forth.  I know the time for us to leave is coming up and I think that I may be able to hold on for a bit longer, however, I would greatly appreciate it if the time I had left here wasn't spent caring for sick babies and being sick myself. 
I am looking forward to a turn in events, and I greatly appreciate you listening to my whining.  I know we can work through this, I see good things for us.
Love,
Kelly

  1. So sorry!!! The kids had that cough for 6 weeks+ and now Riv thought it was necessary to get strep. He says all the cool kids have it. I am waiting to see what else is coming down the pipe....xo
