Momma's little caretaker

Since it is a merry holiday time one could logically expect to log on to here and see a plethera of family photos of a happy group giving thanks for their many blessings, or frolicking with friends in the lovely autumnal weather. They would be sorely disappointed. We did have a lovely holiday dinner at a dear friends house and the children ran and played and terrorized the neighbors cat. We were blessed with company from Wisconsin and California. We cooked the likes of sweet potato rolls and a sweet potato souffle and indulged in some delicious smoked ham and turkey and the tastiest carrot bake I’ve ever had. After that the dearest little Quail was struck down with a fever that fortunately has now resolved. After it left her it scurried over to me made a neat nest in my chest. So Momma has been cranky, tired, shiftless and lazy. The Momma that typically gets up at 4:30 am everyday was lucky to make it up by noon and actually managed to stay in bed past that note one day. So no lovely photos, no sweet prose. Just a few coughs and sniffles and feelings of sorriness that a perfect holiday weekend was a bit lost from it’s intentions.  Here’s hoping yours was a bit livelier. Did I mention I lost my credit card, the cat peed on the company’s bed and our internet and phone have been only intermittently working since last week?
