Over and Over

Fri 2/1 Blog Prompt

Blog Prompt: Feb. 2 is Groundhog Day. Do you remember that Bill Murray movie where he wakes up to the same day over and over? If it was you, describe the day you would want to repeat over and over.

Well, it certainly would not be today. This morning we were woken up by my oldest. She said her belly hurt. So she hopped into our bed and about 1/2 hour later she started to cough and then she threw up all over our bed! Not once. Not twice. But three times. Why is it that we always have things happen here in THREES? I'm just praying that the other two don't throw up too. This stomach virus has been going around.

Anyway back to a day that I would like to repeat over and over again. I think it would start out with my husband taking care of the kids. Getting them dressed and feeding them breakfast. This would give me time to take a shower without little eyes peaking in on me and me screaming at them not to play with the door and not to leave the room. They always seem to get into trouble if they are out of sight. Then we would go wherever we would have planned for the day. When we return it would be nice to have lunch all ready for us. Then a much needed nap and then dinner. Either we eat out or my husband makes dinner. Then off to bed. Can you tell I hate to cook! It takes a lot of planning and time to cook. I'd much rather do something else. Luckily the meal planning has helped a lot.

Sounds like a wonderful day! Too bad you could't fit in some more self indulgences there like spa treatment, manicures, going shopping without children etc. lol

Don't blame you for not wanting to live today over and over. Fingers crossed, prayers said that everyone else stays healthy. We only have Isabella and Kaylor which is bad enough. I can't imagine dealing with three sick at the same time.

AMEN to no cooking. I don't mind doing it if we're having people over, however the plain old every day cooking that someone always has a problem with I can live without.
