I'm home with the flu today. Fever, body aches, chills, general fatigue...etc. Luckily, today is David's day off, so he has been home all day. I called in sick to work and did not go in this afternoon.
Just now, in an effort to get some fresh air and give me a chance to rest, David bundled up the babes (it's cold here, but not blizzard cold like so many of you are dealing with) and took them for a walk.
And as he was heading out the door something occurred to me.
This will be the very first time I have been alone in our house since becoming a mother.
Crazy, huh?
There have been plenty of times where I have gone out by myself, and a handful of times where David has taken one baby with him to run an errand, but never in the last 10 months have I been alone inside this house.
And I am very aware of it.
It's neither good nor bad. Just...strange.

It's amazing how much they assimilate into our lives in relatively a short time, huh?
I hope you feel better soon!
As someone who absolutely TREASURES being home alone, I can't even imagine going 10 months without that time. That IS strange.
So glad you all are feeling better. :)
Praying for a speedy recovery!!
Doesn't it feel like a part of you is missing?? It's almost hard to savor those times
