Priorities
The laundry is piling up faster than we can get it done.
So are the dishes.
Surfaces are cluttered.
Toys are scattered.
The cook is out. Instead, the freezer is filled with heat-and-eat meals from Trader Joe’s.
But, while all this stuff isn’t getting done, there is one thing that is.
The babe is recovering. He came down with Croup a few days ago and we have been working hard to help him recover as fast as possible. This is our first real sickness with him and it has been a task to figure out how to balance his needs with our needs and the needs of the household. Well, as it turns out, the needs of the household have gotten neglected and we will get back to it soon. Once our babe is back to normal, breathing easily and, hopefully, sleeping peacefully.

You have your priorities absolutely right! Sick or not, a baby that needs to be cuddles is always my first priority. I hope your little one is feeling better now.

And those cuddles, oh they are so much better than doing dishes or laundry any day!
