This is how I have been feeling lately

"March was a teaser, so springlike and soft and warm and bright, the hills lush and green and dotted with wildflowers, but as soon as your soul relaxed in the balminess, then whoosh! A horrible cold stepped forth, worse than in winter because the days had been promising something and then reneged."

Under the Weather

Ella is feeling sick today. She has a cold. I noticed in the morning that she was lying on the couch (something she never does.) When I started getting lunch ready she said to me in the weakest, saddest little voice, "Mom, my leg hurts and I can't walk to the bar so can I have a tray?" I controlled my urge to laugh (I think she is milking it a little bit) and told her that indeed she could have a tray. Sometimes we all need a little extra TLC. So here she is with her OJ, chicken noodle soup and saltine crackers. I hope my little princess will feel better soon.
