Yesterday I either had the flu or some sort of food poisoning. I also had to take the glucose test in the morning, and on top of the constant sharp pain whenever I walk, all of those things combined to put me down for the entire day. My mom basically did everything, and Abe did stuff too when he came home.<\/p>\n

Doing nothing in bed while others work for you is not a great way to build self-esteem. Even though I knew I literally could not do more, I felt so bad. So today, when I woke up with whatever the bug\/flu\/poisoning I had yesterday gone, I tried to make up for yesterday’s insane amount of inactivity.<\/p>\n

First I helped clean the kitchen. Abe made an amazing breakfast for the kids, and I puttered around cleaning up.<\/p>\n

Then I “helped” Lydia with her harp practice. Basically, I was no help at all and instead just made her cry. I retreated to the bathroom with a copy of Suzuki notes and resolved to up my positive language game next time.<\/p>\n

Then I did four loads of laundry and changed our bedsheets. (The laundry was an all-day, ongoing project.)<\/p>\n

Then I cleaned Ammon’s room.<\/p>\n

Then I sorted out all of the girls’ winter clothes into storage so that they don’t have to dig through those piles of useless things when trying to find their summer clothes.<\/p>\n

While sorting clothes, I directed and re-directed the girls to their cleaning chores. They were supposed to clean ALL of their messes and make their beds before playing outside today. It took…hours.<\/p>\n

Then I ate lunch.<\/p>\n

Then I cleaned a bathroom.<\/p>\n

Then I collapsed crying from pain in bed, and Abe gave me a long massage and a pep talk.<\/p>\n

Then Abe and my mom took the kids to the Orem Summerfest carnival, and I stayed home and caught up on the blog for HOURS.<\/p>\n

Here’s a picture he sent me from the carnival:<\/p>\n

I anticipate more pictures coming soon, but my eyes are burning from blogging so much, so I am just going to \u00a0shut my computer, read my book, The Big Rock Candy Mountain<\/em>, and add those later.<\/p>\n

(Later):<\/p>\n

Lydia is obviously trying to keep Ammon safe here. She is a very conscientious child.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
