I went to the gym this morning for the first time in 10 days. That's the longest stretch I've missed in over a year. It felt weird and great to get back there. The kids in the daycare shouted Sophie's name when we walked in. I know she was happy to get out of the house. We've all had cabin fever. The worst of Neil and I's illness came during some really, really beautiful weather here, so our poor darling was cooped up inside with us while the rest of the world was out enjoying.
Finally, I had another bloggy get together this past Saturday, Momzshare. It was put on by Jennifer of Hip as I Wanna Be and Lara of Chicken Nuggets of Wisdom. They did a fabulous job. Held at Jennifer's house, which was exactly the right size for the number of people attending, it was intimate and comfortable. There was oodles of great food and wine and the company simply couldn't be beat. This will be a quadrannual (4x a year) event and I can't wait until the next one!
In the meantime, I have a pile of stuff to do. We are still catching up from us all being sick which is why I've been so scarce in bloggyland. I'll be back to normal operations soon. I hope. In the meantime, here's a cute picture to tide you over. It seems my daughter's laundry basket sleeping days are not behind us.
Awww. She's so cute. .... I can just see her when she's 21 or so ....
ReplyDeleteSo glad you're all feeling better!
ReplyDeleteMomzshare sounds like it was a lot of fun.
I still remember that post of Sophie in the laundry basket! Must be comfy in there :)
So cute. The basket not the puke. As if I needed to clarify.
ReplyDeleteYour daughter has the right idea. I wouldn't mind crawling into one of thos right now!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit recently! Hope the sickies are behind you.
Something is definitely going around around here! The same sickness has struck a bunch of other people I know and so far our household has avoided it *knock wood*. I'm glad to hear things are getting back to normal for you!
ReplyDeleteI just went back to the gym after all that time being a lazy, eat everything/drink everything in sight on my honeymoon person. I felt like such a lard.
Glad you guys are on the mend. I am still smiling thinking about Sophie's fans greeting her at the gym daycare!
ReplyDeleteThe blogging event sounds like a lot of fun!
Oh my goodness she actually fell asleep in there? That is precious!
ReplyDeleteIt was great to see you again and talk at MomzShare...Can't wait for the next one!
Two conferences in two weeks!? You lucky dog.
ReplyDeleteI am glad that life is returning to normal.
Glad you're all feeling better! My 4 year old has had a fever for the last couple of days, just a cold, but still, it sucks when they're sick... of course, now my 2 year old is getting sick! Love the cute pic. :)
ReplyDeleteMy son got down from his chair after lunch today and, how shall I say, left his lunch behind. Must be the Ides of March germs. Spring and health, where are you?? Glad to hear House of Bean is on the mend.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you all are doing better! We are in need of gym time too...but my neck is still kinked! ugh!!
ReplyDeleteMy wife Melinda said she had a great time at Momzshare. Love the picture in the laundery basket. LOL. We have a pictures of our son sleeping in a Ikea bucket and wagon on the way home from the beach. I guess kids can sleep anywhere.
ReplyDeleteAhhh... Sophie looks like a kitten! Glad to hear things are getting better... being sick sucks and having a sick baby tops everything! Momzshare sounds cool. Is it just for Baltimore/DC bloggers?
ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie! I can't believe she fell asleep in there. Good seeing you at Momzshare. The May event in Silver Springs sounds like a blast too.
ReplyDeleteThat is a keeper picture!!! Love it!
ReplyDeleteGlad y'all are better!
Awww...feel better, and that is the sweetest picture ever:)
ReplyDeleteIt really knocks you on your butt when everyone gets sick like that! I'm so glad she is finally feeling better!
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect little nest for a sweet bean.
ReplyDeleteHow cool you do bloggy get-togethers. Makes me think I should organize one in my neck of the woods for local bloggers here.
I'm pretty sure the gym would crumble down on me, it's been so long so I went to one. Momzshare sounds like an awesome way to meet local bloggers!
ReplyDeleteGlad everyone is getting back to normal. If your weather is anything like ours this week it should be beautiful this weekend. Maybe you can make up for lost time, no?
Bean = adorable!
OMG that pic is so so so cute! And I've been to Chicken Nuggets, great blog. I'll have to stop by the other one.
ReplyDeleteGlad 2 hear UR feeling better!
Glad you hear everyone is feeling better at your house! Missed you while you were "gone".
ReplyDeleteThat is such an adorable pic! She is too cute.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you're all feeling better.
OMG! That is the cutest, most adorable photo ever.
ReplyDeleteSo happy you are feeling better! We had a bad run-in with the stomach flu too, last week: 3 of us were hit, but we survived. For a while there, it was touch and go. There was a lot of gross stuff happening.
That photo is ADORABLE! I totally understand the whole sick thing. I got sick, then baby, then I got sick again, then my hubby, then I am getting sick AGAIN! UGHHHHH.
ReplyDeleteI'm so behind on reading all your blog entries--I'm gonna catch up soon. I want to read about your blog conferences, etc. Love your writing!
We have been super sick too! yuck! Glad you are feeling better. What an adorable picture. You should post it on my new Snoozin' in Saturday's. I love sleeping photos.
