Today was, well, uneventful...until 6pm. Evidently the flu is going around in the 3 year old class at our church, so as I was there this morning cleaning I made sure to over-clean everything...and I mean EVERYTHING. And then, I went back at 4:30 and cleaned even more...(Lysol, you'd better work.)
and then there is my dog, Bailey, who had to have surgery today to remove the golf ball size tumor off her eye ..."It's NOT a TUUUMOR" Arnold Schwarzenegger...Kindergarten Cop...come on...you remember it. She looks so silly, too, as she has that cone around her head. Poor thing can't hardly walk without snow shoveling the ground with every step. It's quite the hoot to see her go up the steps. I tell her it isn't necessary, but she insists. Her head gets stuck on every step. haha.
AND THEN...the Flu bug graced our humble abode...actually, it was the car (so not fun!) I knew it! I knew she'd get it. So you can imaging how cuddly she is tonight and how little sleep I will get. I keep begging for my Melatonin but fear I won't hear her if I'm knocked out. But it's made me think...
So far, all of my best moments have been with my loves. And yesterday was the cherry on top. From the moment we woke up until the moment we went to sleep, I had a sidekick. You know that feeling you get with your child where you stop to check if you are wearing velcro because they won't leave your side? Well, that was Lillie. And then I realized...
She likes me. : )
So I ask..."Lillie, do you like being with me?"
She bashfully nods "Yes" and keeps on talking.
Priceless. No amount of money could ever compare to such love.
Though sleep doesn't seem to be in my near future, I'll close with this...I am the richest woman on this planet simply because of the love she showers me with every day!
