There is a box of donuts on the table.
My mother in law dropped them off this morning. A small jester since she knows we’ve been fighting a cold in this house.
Not that I need donuts. We are trying to eat healthier around here, after a holiday filled with over indulgence and with a tropical vacation only a few weeks away.
The house is a mess. The holiday decorations sit in boxes, waiting to be taken to the basement.
The last few weeks have been a bit of a blur. John traveled for work, my father in law had a heart attack (thankfully he is OK, we are very lucky), my parents left for 9 weeks in Aruba, and now this cold.
There is laundry to be done and floors to be mopped. There are toys to be put away and a kitchen to be cleaned.
But there is a box of donuts on the table. So I pour a cup of tea and turn up the volume on the TV. The rest can wait.

Sometimes you just need to relax with sugar and the T.V. And as you know, it's hard to clean when you have a child who's job it is to mess it all up again 5 minutes later.

So true! Sugar and TV were exactly what I needed.
Mrs. Weber says
It's all good girl – those donuts are just a reminder to you to chill out for a few 🙂 I call it a message from the sugar gods! ENJOY!
Julia Hunter says
"A message from the sugar gods" I like that.

Sometimes you just gotta chill out with a cup of tea in one hand, a donut in the other while you relax!!
I'm so relieved to hear that your FIL is okay!
Julia Hunter says
Thank you!
Heather says
Amen. I know that feeling well. I hope you feel better.
Julia Hunter says
Thank you, I'm feeling much better I think the donut helped.
