Remedys for a bad week.

Anyone else had the flu this year?? I don't recommend it.
The word flu doesn't do the illness justice... nope, not at all... i tend to think of words more along the lines of 'steamroller' or possibly 'trainwreck'!

3 solid days in bed, would of been 5 if i hadn't had to go to work on the first two. Never before have i actually been so 'out of action' that my lovely husband has had to stay home from work so the kids weren't left to fend for themselves. Adam did an awesome job keeping the household together while i was suffering on my death bed, but by Wednesday night he was feeling a little frazzled. Washing piled so high you could barley get into the laundry, no idea what should go in the school lunches for the next day and "DINNER... Ah crap, I'd forgotten about that!" Nanny Ali to the rescue with a lamb casserole and a HUUUGGGE bunch of scented stock for me. Not that i have any sense of smell. Although the hyacinths that Nana arrived with the following day i can certainly smell... as can the rest of Feilding I'm sure!
Amazing what a few flowers can do to lift the soul... but having once been a florist, i guess i can be a little more sensitive to the good they do then some others.

Hmmm, other things that have turned this week around for me:

1. Making 1 million mini piklets for the Kindy disco tonight

2. Finding this picture of the kids from a couple of years ago :)

3. The New Zealand Gardener being delivered in this mornings post. Saturday morning will now go something like this.... Kitchen and Garden show on Radio live blaring to drown out the 'Little Einstines'  tune from the telly, Fresh poached egg on toast, Tea, Gardener magazine and evil eye ready for anyone who tries to disturb me!

4. Easy... Feeling #4 baby wiggling around inside my belly! (*Happiness*)
