The color of my days:
Yellow is for soft fuzzy blankets when we feel sick:
Red is for Coke … a few electrolytes to replace the ones that came up:
Orange is for Motrin …. whatever did people do before ibuprofen when their child’s temperature soared to 105.5:
Blue is for gatorade and hydration:
Green is for the snot that is always present around Liam’s nose:
(you’re welcome for not posting a picture)
Grey is for Mommy’s despair with someone being sick all winter long:
–Michelle Seuss
What a creative way to post about “the downs” in life! May yellow represent the sun shining VERY soon!
Hoping the sunshine will come and chase away the sickness and the grey.
Oh no, is Liam sick again???? I’m sorry, all the more reason for spring to come and stay!!!!!!!!!!
@smuckers4jesus –
Liam has been sick ever since we were in SC 9 days ago. Adam came down w/ a bad case of the flu. Right now I cannot be grateful enough that Liam had his flu shots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was freaked out enough with an almost five year old having fever that high. And of course it had to happen on a Sunday when David Lee had a camp presentation and I was left alone from 1:45 til long after midnight w/ his work truck and no car seats. Not my idea of a restful Sunday.
Oh I know the feeling. We battled the flu’s and colds this winter too!
May Spring come very quickly for you and yours!
Hoping things turn around quickly. I want to go shopping with some girlfriends tomorrow and am selfishly praying no one gets sick here…
Oh Michelle! I am so sad for you. I hope you will soon be seeing a rainbow of colors in another form! I’m praying!!!
I like your post…the colors part, not the sick part. Wish I could see *color* right now. My babe was to Dr today…ear infection, major head cold, coughing….same song 3rd verse (in about 5 wks time). I’m so so so tired of it too!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry I’m not more encouraging – i feel like Job’s miserable comforters – – – misery like’s company, huh? sigh….
*good*night – to us!
Michelle, I’m so sorry for you Mom’s. It’s so exhausting to constantly have sick children. Janelle’s in the same boat. Sigh! And I ‘m kinda under the weather too 🙁 I have this terrible cold and this morning I woke up with both eyes all red and blood shot 🙁 It’s high time for warm weather!
A beautiful way to discribe a depressing situation! 😉
Spring is around the corner, and I am hoping you will see more green…in a lovely way! lol
loved this color post. too bad about the sickness tho. 🙁
Michelle Suess, quite a creative post! =) Hope everyone’s feeling better soon!
You’re good to have the presence of mind to post so well in the midst of sickness!! Nothing like sick kiddos to totally overwhelm me. Hope all is well soon….I love that 1st pic.
