I cannot believe it has taken me so long to get back to writting, but I hope to keep it up this time.
Today feels like fall is in full swing. Its overcast with the threat of rain. Personally, I'm in love with fall. There is so much beauty to find, especially in the Pacific Northwest. For example, taking my son to school this morning I passed many trees in various shades of color ranging from deep purple red to bright yellow. Even with the sun staying in bed, I find the colors refreshing.
The thing I'm learning to dislike about fall is the start of cold and flu season. My 4 year old is only just starting out in preschool, and yet he's already had one friend out for a few days sick and his little brother caught a cold. I'm not saying we're never sick in this house. Far from it! But I realize that this will become the new fall norm. Child in school = an increase in stuffy noses and worse in the home. Normally, I don't find colds a big deal. I usually can work thru them, but as a mother of two, I find myself more and more jealous of those who actually get sick days! There are no sick days ahead of me. There are no morings to sleep in because even on weekends the children wake with the sun and always come to me rather than daddy. I guess there isn't really a point to my ramblings today but take it as a PSA for hand washing and vitamins.
