Patience, the grumps, and the flu

So now into day 4 of the flu, whatever form or title it may have. Ups & downs of feeling icky, details not necessary. So after spending most of the day at home, I started to panic about finding things for Katie to do when she came home from school. What for snack? What project? How to keep focused for homework?

Started with the basics for before she arrived - Campbell's chicken soup. One of those things that just make you feel better no matter how old you are. Doubted Katie would eat it.

Then, looked in the fridge...slim pickings. But before my eyes, a glow & angel chorus began, Pillsbury crescent rolls. Again, not a healthy snack, but fills the "snack" and the "project" categories. To bump it up a notch (& just where is Emeril these days), we melted some butter, added some cinnamon & sugar, & presto...cinnamon rolls. It also reminded me of my mother-in-law's mother's amazing recipe for homemade cinnamon rolls. Note to self - need to get Grandma Grove's cinnamon roll recipe for Christmas.

OK, so after spending a day wallowing in selfpity, a bit of patience could be found from digging WAY down and we're having a good afternoon. Won't be winning the mom of the year award, but there are some happy people in the house...including Jake who found the crumbs :)
