Picture taken in Fredericksburg last weekend.  Samuel took a spill in the dirt and it ended up in his mouth and up his nose.  Seems a fitting photograph for this post.

I’m having one of those days…

the kind where you laugh because you feel like everything is going wrong.  When nothing seems to be falling into place.  And it’s humorous.  And you just KNOW that tomorrow HAS to be better.  It just HAS to be.   

Samuel is running a high fever.  The doctor says it’s an adenovirus.  And the high fever and sore throat should last about 5-7 days.  With day 3 and 4 being the worst.  Then she looked at me and said, "today is considered day one".  Thanks…

Derek left town tonight.  For 5-7 days. 

Just kidding…he’s only gone for 3.

And my oven is broken.  It’s possessed.  It just completely went dead one day.  No rhyme or reason.  But it still chirps at us every once in a while.  It’s like something out of Twilight Zone.

And my satellite is out.  So I can’t watch tv.  Tragic.

That’s it really.  Nothing major.  Just a no good, very bad day.

But in the midst of it all there are still blessings.  It rained all day, but seemed to stop just long enough for me to run to my car with Sam after his dr’s appointment, and just long enough for me to get Caleb to music class.  And I never got wet. 

And Caleb had a preschool program tonight…and they sang "This Little Light of Mine" which will make any day a little brighter.

Here’s hoping tomorrow brings more blessings, and less mess.

    It’s definitely time for a girls lunch “in.” Hopefully, the fact that you’ll have friends to share day three will make it a bit sunnier.
    I LOVE LOVE that picture!

    Someday Samuel will realize when he sees this picture that his mother was taking pictures during his pain and torment!! πŸ˜‰

    I know that I shouldn’t, but I just LOVE that picture. So candid. So real life. So glad that he didn’t get too hurt.
