Keep it REAL in 2018

I did not expect my first spends of 2018 to be on trips to the med clinic, followed by tamiflu, followed by a trip to the pediatric urgent care this morning.

Yup, I tested negative for the flu but still was put on tamiflu and thank goodness for the tamiflu. I can now get up without assistance.

Now, a day later Wrigley looked beat down and tired and feverish.

This morning he is positive for the flu.

As I write sitting on my couch recliner watching Wrigley watch a robot show on Netflix, I am still grateful for this January day in 2018.

Grateful that we are both on a path to recovery. Because it could be worse.

Although this sickness definitely has taken  me down hill faster than a speeding el train. Literally, this weekend I was cheering on Lincoln to score his first baskets in his basketball game. And Sunday night, I was torn to pieces with a fever of 101.1 and a shivering body that could not get up from bed no matter how hard I tried.

Most first blogs of the year are about fitness goals or people posting their top 9! I will get to those later, but for now I'm keeping it real in 2018.

Because it could be worse.

I'm here. I'm alive. I'm writing.

2014 throw back- Just days before our family became 4!
