Summer 2023: The Sick One


Has anyone else started summer break with a sick family?

This June has not been as smooth sailing as I would have liked due to a bug that has wreaked havoc in my household. It hit my oldest son the hardest and lasted about a week. It hit my younger son in a slightly different way and was just a couple of days. It hit me in an even different way and lasted a few days. The verdict is still out if it has descended upon my hubby. For most of us, it’s relatively minor but enough to knock us down a few notches. 

We’ve been to the doctors. We’ve been tested for strep and covid and when it’s all said and done, it’s just a bug. 

For me, I had a sore throat for two days that left me without much of a voice. So now that I’m feeling much better, I sound like a frog. The brain fog has been present for all of us! I have been saying the oddest things. Who else thinks peanut butter on a hot dog sounds good? Me either. 

I’m struggling to find our summer “normal”. I know it’s there somewhere. We’ve had some fun pool days in between dealing with different sick days. But to be honest, there has been a bit of “blah” undertone to the start of summer 2023. 

I’m still finding reasons to be grateful and I always will. It could be much worse. That’s a statement I’ve always told myself, not to diminish the very real struggle of present but to keep it in perspective. 

Hope your summer is a healthy one!

Blessings,
Lindsey
