Sick Day for Dada – Day Date for Mama

I used to be bitter that Joe could “take the day off” when he got sick. Mom’s don’t get a day off! But I’m learning to embrace sick days. Yesterday afternoon Joe came home early from work because he wasn’t feeling well. It kind of threw off my plans for the day but I just…

Hospital Stays, Funerals and Thanksgiving

This has been an extremely exhausting and hard week. Our family has been passing around a cold (which turned into pneumonia for Jude and RSV for Simon).
