I had been looking forward to the fourth day of Christmas ever since I planned it. We went bowling and played some arcade games then went out for something to eat. It was such a fun date and something that I definitely think we should do more often. I don't know about other married couples but we tend to go on the same dates all the time- either dinner or to watch a movie so it was fun to switch it up. Josh of course won the bowling but not by much!
I however excelled at the arcade games ;)
Day five wasn't as fun or successful and neither was day six. The only thing that I'll look back at with happy memories is Scarlett's Christmas play that we went to on the morning of day 5. She and all of her classmates were very cute and done a great job remembering all the actions to the songs as well as the words.
I woke up feeling very ill and spent the whole day on the couch. It was awful. I was cold, then I was hot. I was aching all over and my skin hurt to touch. I couldn't eat and had to force myself to take little sips of water every now and then. What I would've given to have had my mum at home with me! My lovely husband done a great job at taking care of me when he got home from work though. He even bought me flowers to cheer me up as he knows I love having them in the house. Such a babe.
So my plans for day 5 went down the drain and instead we watched Harry Potter while josh made his way through a pint of "Half Baked". That's how ill I was- I turned down Ben and Jerry's.
Day six was no better and poor Josh went a second day without a date. I'm going to have to pull something extra special out of the bag for day 7! Talk about a let down. He stayed at home and took care of me while he worked from home. He was a trooper and answered my every beck and call.
So although the past few days have been a bit of a failure, we have still spent time together which is what the whole idea is about (even though I've not been great company and asleep for most if the time). But as I lay feeling sorry for myself, it's not that bad and I'm grateful to be feeling better already. I'm even more grateful for my husband who has outdone himself while looking after me. He really is the best and I love him so much for who he is and the kind heart he has.
I love this face so much! even though he struggles to take a serious picture...
I'm just going to brush these past couple days under the carpet and look forward to date number 7 and beyond. Isn't it funny how we're always reminded that we're not in control of everything, regardless if how big or small our plans may be?
