Getting Back to Normal

It's long past time I dusted off this blog.
My life took an unexpected turn about six weeks ago--and I'm just now feeling halfway back to normal.
Suffice to say, I got wretchedly sick. Life as I knew it stopped. No writing. No blogging. No mothering. Nothing--except being sick.
But I am getting better slowly.
I'd like to get right back up to my regular multitasking speed, but it ain't gonna happen. I call myself a "One A Day Woman" right now. My body thinks sitting and walking are extreme sports.
So be it.
Today Christa and I ran errands together. Believe it or not, a trip to Wal-Mart was a real treat. We held hands and walked the aisles together and had fun picking out her favorite yogurts and a new coloring book. Then we made a quick stop at the bookstore and bought a book about Easter, which I am thankful I won't miss.
As we walked through the parking lot, I asked Christa if she was thankful for anything.
"I am glad we are spending the day together."
Me too.
