Do nothing, Be happy!

Where does the time go? The weekend is over and I feel as though I didn't get much accomplished. I guess I need to forgo the list of things to do when we are not feeling well.

Lily has had this chest thing for over a week now. It has not really been slowing her down at all but you can hear the rattle in her chest when she breathes. It was this weekend that made me realize enough is enough and I need to get her into seeing her doctor. Not so much because there was a huge change with her, although she was more clinging to me but she vomited on Saturday I think due to congestion and a gourmet grilled cheese we had at a friend's house earlier that day. And to top it off I started feeling unwell Friday evening. I had to cancel all plans because as I found out on Saturday, even driving in the car was too much for me and my head.

I take all this in stride and that it is a clear message I am to do nothing except "be". Be with Lily playing, cuddling, watching favorites on Treehouse and eating lots of fruit. So that is what I did but it was not without resistance as I looked around my house and new that I still needed to paint, organize the office, clean the porch, rake the leaves, organize the new kitchen cupboards that Erik assembled...see that is the list that never ends and it is my own nightmare.

So, facing a new week I shall be taking Lily to the doctors first thing on Monday, I have also vowed to finish existing house projects over the next two weeks and not take on anything new until mid January. We all need a break and some time to do nothing but sit and play.
