Imp's Art



We are all still very sick with mono.  My husband is dragging himself to work (he works Sat. until 2) so I get to stay at home and relax...  As much as you can relax with a 3 and 5 year old who are sick yet still have high energy levels.

I have mentioned before I don't like my kids watching much TV.   Yeah, that goes out the window when I am sick.  Yesterday we all watched TV ALL DAY LONG.  Yes, my kids sat in front of the idiot box watching mom-approved television for hours and hours while Mommy watched cable news.  Thank goodness for commercial free Nick Jr and Construction and Farming videos.  I can't read to them because of my throat, severe constant headache, and cough and I don't have the energy to play with them, so they are getting babysat by the TV.  Mom guilt and mono, what a great combo...

Anyway, today Imp wanted to cut paper and draw and he called me into the kitchen to show me a drawing of Mommy.  Sick as I am I cracked up and ran to get my poor dusty neglected camera and took this photo.  Oh my, that is exactly how I feel right now.  Look at that frown!  Oh, I love these two boys of mine.

Thanks for all of your kind supportive comments on my last post.  I am taking your advice and taking it easy.  I am just glad the kids are taking it in stride and doing pretty well, considering. Today I actually feel a tiny bit improved (I only feel 75% like I want to die), so good news!
