Ok so ours wasn't exactly how I had envisioned the holiday happening. Both my little boys spent Christmas with goopy, green, disgusting noses, barking coughs and glazed over eyes. They were a pitiful sight, trying to be excited and thankful but really just wanting to curl up in mommy's lap. We trudged through the day trying to create joyful memories but beneath it all was frustration.
You plan, anticipate and prepare for weeks. Picturing the perfect Christmas in your mind, playing it out over and over. Then when it finally arrives and the excitement is buried by sickness it is a bummer, a big bummer.
A friendly reminder from the one above that plans are just plans, nothing is set in stone, life is real, unpredictable and challenging. We are blessed, thankful and overjoyed even when the couch is piled with used kleenex, the once festive counter now looks like a drug store and someone is crying in almost every picture. Life is good and we will go on!
