Well, as mentioned in my previous post Thankfulness: day 24!, I ended up getting what Ben got, some 24 hour flu-type bug. I am so thankful the kids didn't catch it and that they are still going strong without any hint of feeling icky. As I was sick, I was pondering how thankful I am for a cozy couch, a good little girl (and boy), and not being sick all the time. Alivia was such a good girl while Ben and I dealt with this awful little stomach bug. She watched Caillou, read many books, painted, and played on Ben's I-phone. I felt like a guilty parent with her watching so much TV, but it was honestly the only way we made it through the day. Let's just say that all 4 of us took a nap yesterday. We feel much better today as we actually went outside and didn't watch as much TV. :) Feeling sick is never fun, but being a parent and feeling sick is an another story. I am thankful that this was only a 24 hour bug!! And, again I am thankful for a healthy body! My praise goes to God!
We did have to miss our Thanksgiving meal and celebration this year due to this little nasty bug, but we got a lot of family time and a few dear family members (Ben's mom and aunt) brought us leftovers (despite our sickness) so we were able to at least have some of that good Thanksgiving food. And, after chatting with my dad on the phone, we decided we are going to have a Thanksgiving meal on Christmas since we missed it this year. :)
