I think I may be feeling the tiniest little bit better already Dr McDreamy....
YOU are not here by mistake
Around the world and down
through the ages
there has never been
another you,
and there will never be
another you.
The miracle of your
existence is now
in your hands.
You are here for
a purpose.
You have something that
only you can give
to the world.
Take time to consider what that is.
[from the book...One]

Sadly, no Friday Fabulousness today.....after fighting a cough all week, I went to the doctor yesterday to be told that I have a serious throat infection AND the flu....ugh. I would like to say that I plan to spend the day lying in a darkened room, being cared for and slowly getting better....but BOTH my children have come out with variations of said cough in sympathy...ugh.....ugh!! So.....not the post I had planned for Friday but a little something to make me feel better.....wish me luck, even my eyelashes hurt :)
On the plus side though.....I can see snowdrops and daffodils coming up in the garden.....and the sun is shining, something we haven't seen for weeks.....I am so ready for spring!
Happy Friday!
PS My lovely friend Meredy just posted me the funniest clip to cheer me up....you must watch this..... I feel better already....thanks honey :)

That is sooo exciting! Great to see those buds popping up, its very comforting in a way:) Love that phot of MCDreamy, he's so smoking! Happy weekend! x LZ
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean - when you have children you lose the luxury of ever being an invalid yourself again. It's tough going. I hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteOh Simone, poor you, and your poor little ones,
ReplyDeleteI have only had the flu once and it's awful, isn't it ? Your phrase 'even my eyelashes hurt' is so true....absolutely everything aches.
I hope that you feel a little better soon and that you manage with the children. Sometimes it's really difficult being a mum. Lots of love, XXXX
Oh my, I hope you will feel better SOOOOOON!
ReplyDeleteDon´t forget to drink water or tea a lot and keep yourself warm!
Sending you warm wishes from germany - and yes, I am so ready for spring too!
Sorry to hear you're not well Simone ... and its even worse when the kids are sick also!
ReplyDeleteI know its hard not to be at their beck and call ... but you need to rest and stay in bed also! Maybe you can all snuggle up together. Thank god its the weekend and hubbie will be home (hopefully) for some pampering!
Yes, spring is on its way ... it definitely is great to see those bulbs!
Take care and as Dr McDreamy would say .... drink lots of fluids and stay in bed!
hugs and xxx
Oh, feel better! Rest!!!! We'll still be here!
ReplyDeleteAll your blogging friends are willing you to get better in record time... so take really good care of yourself! (Took a second to admire handsome McDreamy, till I noticed he's wearing a wedding ring, then sulked. How sad is that!!!)
ReplyDeleteCaroline
Take care and rest my love.
ReplyDeleteOh Simone, as a mother, it really is the final insult isn't it? You can't even have a cold all by yourself. At times like these my English Grandmother would take to adding "a little something special" in her cup of tea. She was a very wise woman, my Grandmother.
ReplyDeleteI've just dedicated a post to you to cheer you up and help with the return of the fabulous. Thinking of you, hoping you sleep well and wake up with McDreamy at your bedside. Meredy xo.
Sweet Simone, it is am mother's lot to continue mothering and loving no matter how sick we may a become. Lace your tea with a little rye and honey and this will take the soreness from your throat...a trick I learned while working in a casino. If you are obliged, swim over to my blog and enter in my "A Sea Witch in Paris Giveaway"...I ship overseas. Sea Witch
ReplyDeleteOh hunny ~ I am so sorry that you feel so crappy! I hope that you feel better soon and that the doctor gave you some good meds. If I was closer I would bring you some chicken soup and a hug for sure. Hugs to you ~ take it easy over the week-end and look for some fabulous photos for next week-end!! xo
ReplyDeleteOh sweetie that is just too awful. My thoughts are with you and the kids for a super speedy recovery.
ReplyDeleteBig hugs Deej
Glad you got to the dr...I went after being sick a month...How is UK weather? We are getting 1 - 2 feet of snow this weekend!
ReplyDeleteI love the UK...We have friends, Seb & Samantha Skeaping from Camdridge, lovely blokes!
Get well...springflowers will help!
Jennifer aka Gigi
Feel better my dear. Rest, relax and watch some classic movies. That always helps.
ReplyDeleteOh I hope you feel better soon, and hope you get lots of rest this weekend!

Oh sweetie, I am so sorry you aren't feeling well. I hope that the weekends brings some rest (haha) and that you are feeling more like yourself by Monday.

Agreed. Spring needs to hurry up and get here.
ReplyDeleteYay! Happy "McDreamy" Friday to you Simone!!
ReplyDeletexoxo Laura
oh you poor dear....I do hope you get to feeling better! Maybe you can have a cup of tea and stare out the window at the flowers for a little "me time" today :)
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear you are sick - hope you get well soon! Thanks for the McDreamy pic and the poem - two very nice items for a gray, rainy day (at least where I am!)
ReplyDeleteThere should be a get well soon cards with his photo on it. Or maybe Clive Owen's. The sight of either would make me feel better :)
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear that you and your little ones are under the weather. I hope you're feeling 100% soon! Oh, and...Love the McDreamy pic!! :)
ReplyDeleteMy heart goes out to you. It sucks to be sick. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Love, Heidi
ReplyDeleteFeel better soon! Laughing helps and the utube post is absolutely side splittingly funny!. Consider this comment to be a virtual bouquet of lem-sip for you.
ReplyDeleteOh Simone, so sorry to hear are not feeling well and now the kids feeling it too. Try to take care of yourself while you are tending to those little sweeties. You are amazing to still find the energy to blog - You are not here by listake;;is great and so is that Dr. McD.
ReplyDeleteWIshing all of you a speedy recovery my friend!
i hope you're on course for a speedy recovery! so sorry you're sick. take care, simone!
ReplyDeleteThe clip made me cry with laughter. Why does it seem all so familiar? I hope you are feeling much much better already. xx MM
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better:) Love how flowers brighten your day too...I think that is a pretty good Friday Fabulousness
ReplyDeleteHi Simone! I'm so sorry you're not feeling well. I hope you fell better soon! Jennifer :)
ReplyDeleteOh dear Simone - I know how horrible that is. TRY propolis!! It's great for sore throats (natural antibiotic to go with the real ones you've probably already got!). May sleep bless your children!
ReplyDeleteHi Simone, Sorry you're not your usual fabulous self. Hope you're feeling a little chirpier today. It's the worst isn't it when you feel so lousy, but the kids are also sick. I just loved Meredy's clip! And McDreamy must be helping surely!
ReplyDeleteAmanda

Oh sweetie feel better soon. Loved that quote...made me smile inside. So happy you got a little piece of sunshine. Can you send some my way??
ReplyDeleteOh poor you. But still posting lovely positive quotes... The thought of daffodils is very cheery, hope you're feeling better very soon.
ReplyDeleteSimone sending you all Texas size well-wishes your way. My husband came home early from work on Friday and had such a high fever last night. It certainly is that time of year to be good & sick. I hope you all get well incredibly soon.
ReplyDeleteHugs xx deb
I could look hours at him..
ReplyDeleteI love that quote :) Thank you so much for sharing, as always :)
ReplyDeleteSimone,
ReplyDeleteSure hope you are feeling much better! Colds and coughs are so not fun...or fabulous!
Sending you lots of get well wishes!
~Melissa
Sorry to hear you are unwell Simone. I hope you are all feeling better!
ReplyDeleteI like your post, it started me thinking of my favourite leading men, the ones I would drop everything to go and see at the movies. Turns out they are all british! I think I am living in the right place now...not sure Mr. H would think so!
Get well soon!
Jeanne :)
Ugh... sounds awful. Hope youre better soon. And I hope McDreamy looked after you properly! x
ReplyDeleteHi Simone....
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry you and your babies are sick. That is definitely not a fabulous Friday! Hope the new week is bringing you some luck with your health. I've missed your blog, I have lots of catching up to do!
