''Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house, not a creature was sick, not even Kay. I'm finally back to life, and it's a Christmas miracle!
It's Christmas Eve, and I feel beyond blessed to finally be feeling back to normal. I even have an appetite again!
Here's my list of things I've learned and observed during and after my illness:
1. Velcro dogs are the best nurses.
2. Full-calorie Gatorade -- and lots of it -- is a must.
3. Not puking = total win.
4. Being able to sleep without having a fever or chills = bliss.
5. My in-laws are here and rock.
6. 68 degrees and rainy on December 24 in MD = just plain weird.
7. 70 degrees on Christmas = even weirder.
8. Will's smile continues to be ridiculously infectious.
9. I'm obsessed with photo Xmas cards. You should see our fridge!!!
10. Getting to take Dex for a walk for the first time in 5 days = exceptional.
11. The vet says Dex is a bit overweight. Guess I will need to have a sit-down with Will to discuss breaking his habit of sneaking food to the dog when I'm not looking. 😉
12. I need to stop calling Dex "Fatty," but it's funny. 😜
13. Food tastes SO good again.
14. Greg makes mean scallops. Mmmmmm.....
15. The cleaning service we have biweekly = a godsend.
16. I would hire my MIL as our full-time cook if I could. 😘
17. Mindy Kahling's book = awesome.
18. Santa needs bourbon, not milk. See below.
19. I made cookies for Santa. They are delicious.
20. Will's obsession with trains and books knows no bounds.
21. Will now knows how to blow kisses. Simply adorable. 😍😍😍
22. Christmas will be a lot more fun once Will understands the concept of Santa and believes in him.
23. Santa is real.
24. And his gifts are awesome. I can't wait for all of us to open them tomorrow morning!
Merry Christmas Eve to all, and to all a goodnight. ☃☃☃
