Tonight after work I had the wonderful pleasure of dining with four women that I am privileged to have met. It was supposed to be five, but one of them had to re-schedule a hair appointment so she wasn't able to come. We all met a year and a half ago when all of our kids started K3 at the same school and were put in the same class. We were all "new parents" to the school and I guess we sort of bonded over the year. Sadly, most of our kids got separated for K4, but we moms have stuck together. Tonight was actually only our second "girls' night". The first one we had was back in November when one of the ladies was getting ready to welcome her second baby boy into the world. We actually did it as kind of a surprise shower for her and ended up having so much fun that we thought we should make it a regular thing. I guess its just taken us a while to find a date that worked for everybody. I especially treasure my time with my friends during these months. I work so much extra that I really need that time to laugh and talk about things other than work. The only downside to girls night is that I never know what to expect when I walk through the door at home. Luckily tonight it wasn't bad at all. I had a little clean up to do in the kitchen but that was about it.
Its a good thing that's all I had to do because I am still fighting this crud. I am feeling much better, but I know the only thing that's truly going to help is rest. Unfortunately, there's not a lot of that to be had anytime soon. A co-worker told me that her daughter's preschool teacher told her that this has been the worst year for sickness in her classroom that she can remember. I'd believe it. I have gotten two notices from Haley's school saying there had been confirmed cases of flu and strep throat in her class. It must be by the grace of God that we haven't had any of that. I guess I need to pray hard that it stays that way! Right now I am taking it one day at a time.....
