Screeching halt

Nothing shows how much work a mom does in a day until the mom gets sick. One look around this place and it's evident I haven't been feeling well. I got slammed (literally, one minute I'm feeling fine, the next minute my throat is killing me) with a horrible cold on Monday night and I've been dragging around this place ever since. Hubs is crazy busy at work so he's coming home exhausted too. Dishes are piling up, we're running out of groceries, laundry is barely getting done (yesterday I loaded in Grant's clothes, shut the door, added soap and just walked away. Without turning the washer on.), carpets need vacuumed, floors need swept, bathrooms need to be cleaned. My tidy something everyday project has fallen by the wayside. The kids are watching too much tv. Things are in shambles around here.

I have faith I'll feel better tomorrow, but the task of cleaning up around here is daunting. Progress has been made today though - today I could taste my food.
