Back to normal

It was five weeks ago this weekend that things started going downhill, health-wise, for us: Avery got sick first, followed by Zoe, me and Zoe again. I’ve talked about it before, but having a sick kid, or being sick yourself, really throws things off – and this last month-plus was pretty rough. Towards the end of the bad stretch, I admit to feeling pretty depressed – like I was never going to feel better and things would never get back to normal. Slowly but surely, though, things have returned to the pre-sick state – and now that we’re all healthy and back to work and school, we’re back to our daily routine. I’m not the biggest fan of the sense of sameness that occasionally accompanies our life-with-kids routine, but I’ll take it over illness-induced upheaval any day! Now, if only we can get the rain to stop…
