Cabin Fever

This Mom has serious cabin fever, going on sick day #4 for Jack, and we haven't left the house. The frigid temps make it less enticing to leave our little home and just stay toasty by the fire. I feel just awful for Jack, he seems better, than worse again. This has got to end soon!!! I want to cuddle with him so bad, but little Lucy is teething and has her first cold, she will not get off my hip without a blood curdling cry...which really is getting at Jacks nerves. Preppy worked from home yesterday as I came down with a bit of the bug, it was awesome having him here so we could each give one of the kids major one on one TLC. So many of my girlfriends are home battling these long sick days at home, wish I was closer to them, misery loves company. One thing I am very thankful, a potty trained Jack, this thing would be a lot uglier otherwise. A months worth of winter holiday luggage has been removed from their bags but lay in their designated rooms in piles. Laundry from holiday is still not done as the sick clothes took precedence. And this whole house needs a deep clean, Preppy said he wishes we could zip the house in one of those microwaveable steamer bags. Ha. Until this bug breaks we will be watching Veggie Tales, sipping Gatorade, lathering up the Vicks Vapor rub, nosefrida-ing away, and burning my favorite Anthro candle so the house smells germ free. Happy Thursday and flu season y'all!

Sick Days...

I hate them. Fear them. Nothing makes me want to cry more than one of my little ones being sick. Whether you are a working Mom or full time stay at home Mom. Mom of 1 or Mom of 5. You dread them and have to deal with them. Mike traveled home from Finland with a stomach bug Friday, poor guy. Jack caught the bug Monday morning. I am going to bear the goorey details, I just wang to say two things I am very thankful for. First my hubby being home to help with this whole mess. And second for my Mom taking care of me while I was sick and little, probably watching me have the "bad poops" just to make me feel better. Lucy has a cold/teething. Baby will not be put In The corner. I've been puked on and pooped on more times than I want to think about these past 48 hours. One thing reins true, this Mommy business is no joke! Hang in there all Moms with sick ones, you can and will get through it!

2013

2012 is a closed chapter. Technically, I still have some writing to catch up on. Anyways, 2012 was quite the year for this Postma family. We added our beautiful little angel baby Lucy to this crazy group and Jacky Bear turned into a little boy. There is not a trace of baby left in him, besides the Nuk, and it has rocked my world realizing that the snuggles and tears for Mommy will not last forever. Good thing for my little girl. No moving happened in 2012. Thank goodness. But the anticipation of a move did not motivate me to truly settle in. So my 2013 New Years Resolution is to do just that, make Kentucky our home. In the meantime we are enjoying a long Winter holiday in sunny southern Florida with family. There is no better way to start the year. 2012 you were full of blessings. 2013 let's see how you can top it!
