Tough Week

Earlier this week my husband commented, "It's a tough week to have a tough week." And a tough week it has been indeed. Fall semester started on Monday... the very next day the professor headed out with 17 twenty-year-olds on an overnight field trip to visit a chemical plant.

Boo has been down with a raging stomach ailment (we're not sure yet if it's viral or bacterial) causing him to miss his first four days of school. The nights have been a blur of up and down, a sick little boy, bed clothes to change, thermometer and fever, Tylenol. The days have included runs to Kroger (one at 6 a.m.), doctor's office, hospital lab, laundry, laundry, laundry. Nobody wants the first week of school to look like this.

Late yesterday afternoon I silently watched and snapped these photos as Boo rested on the couch while Tukes brought him two of his most loved toys friends... Bear and Ducky. The evening sunlight shown through the windows, the room was golden, and I smiled.
