Thanks to everyone for looking out for me over the weekend. I'm feeling much better now. I guess I had what's called a 'Grumbling Appendix' - in other words I felt as though I'd been kicked in my stomach. I'm hoping it's all passed now, don't want to go through life with a ticking time bomb inside me - an appendicitis is not nice. I was very touched by people's phone calls and get well wishes. It really did make me feel good. Jason was amazing and looked after me so well. He even cooked a really nice Sunday dinner ( I guess it took me to be on my sick bed for him to venture into the kitchen). Thanks anyway Jase.
Life is back to normal now - cooking, shopping, cleaning, tidying, washing & ironing. Although my work is never really appreciated by my boys, I now appreciate being well enough to do it. I remember thinking last week, 'I'd love a rest, just a little lie in, and a day without the constant chores that will only need to be done again tomorrow'. Well I got my rest, and as a typical ungrateful soul by the end of it I was wishing I was well enough to jump up and get back on with the work again. Note to self : I must remember that I should not let others gratitude effect the way I work, but rather to simply be grateful that I am well enough to work!
