I absolutely love weekends. There is something indescribable about the way our home feels when everyone is here. The rooms feel fuller and brighter, and the day has a happy and relaxed feeling just because my husband and children are nearby. On Mondays I'm certain that Megan and I go through withdrawal symptoms when Ben goes back to work and Samantha back to school - Megan because she misses Samantha, and me because although I love being with Megan, it doesn't compare with having the whole family together.
Last weekend was different though. I had been sick all week and by the weekend finally succumbed to the worse sinus infection I've ever had. Unfortunately, Mommies don't get sick days. So I pressed on in spite of the exhaustion, irritability, and overall crabbiness. Mostly I just wanted to be left alone. Some days I TRULY don't know how my family puts up with me.
The good news is that I'm doing much better now; on antibiotics and in much better spirits. I can actually sit on the computer without feeling nauseous (can't explain that one!).
We had an amazing Saturday today with a leisurely morning at home, followed by Sammie's soccer game where her team won (4-0!) and a movie night (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory). To quote Charlie from the movie, "I wouldn't give up my family for all the chocolate with in the world."
Nor would I, Charlie, nor would I.
