Crazy Love Gamble-Style

The amount of sick people everywhere at the moment is crazy. Sadly, we have not escaped this either.  Prayers for health!!  She's so cute, even when she's glaring at me. 

 Our little chef. She's hard at work, making me some kind of soup.  That apron on her kills me.  The jammies makes it even better.  Oh this face.  Who could not eat her plastic soup???  It's hot out but it looks like it's snowing, all this white fluff coming down from the sky, the girls love it.  Poor little Ava baby has been sick with a cough & fever for the last few days.  Maybe she needs soup?  Anyhow, she fell asleep on the blanket laying in the yard.  I was so happy the shade made it's way over her sweet face so she could just lay there as long as she wanted.  Mostly she has just wanted to snuggle with me, I'll take it!  Bless her little heart.  Thankfully she's on the mend, already feeling much better.  Good thing too, it's way too nice outside to be sick! No time for that...

Yesterday I woke up not feeling so hot. I went right back to bed as John settled Norah into the living room with a show & some snacks. I knew I had to get up & try to get our day going, but I just didn't have it in me. I finally got us all up, ready & fed and we  headed out to the library.  My main goal at this point was just to burn through some time so that we could drop off Ava at school & get home to take a nap.  (Generally I don't  believe in naps for myself) When Norah got up and wandered off from where Ava & I were reading books I felt  like I was going to cry at the thought of  chasing her down.   We eventually got Ava to school & Norah down & that was it.  I laid on the couch the  rest of the day, feeling not up for anything. Both the kids were so sweet, each laying on  me snuggling, Ava petting my head, saying  "Mommy you never get sick" and...

Well, today marks a little over three weeks  that I have had bronchitis.   It's really not that serious, just soooo annoying.  Consequently, my running isn't going very well.   My lungs just can't do it which is a slippery slope  because then the rest of my body doesn't feel used to it like it had.   I'm still going, here and there, but it's not the same. I don't go as far and I don't go as fast.   It's very disappointing.   This post was going to be a bunch of pictures because  I have a ton (whats new) to share but my computer  seems to be sick too. I can't edit my photos because it's taking about 6 million times  as long as it usually does for some strange reason.   I think it's actually a sign that I should OPEN the Photoshop  box I got for my birthday, which I would do if I didn't feel so  overwhelmed with photos to edit, kind of a catch 22, no? ...
