Happy Monday everyone!! It has been a busy few days around here. My youngest ended up testing positive for strep on Friday night at urgent care, this is the second time in exactly month. I use to get strep a lot as a kid and I was always horrible, instant fever and my throat would start closing off and I would have to get a shot of the antibiotic to get rid of it. The crazy thing to me is he don't show any signs of having it or being sick, the only way I even knew is he asked for a cough drop and told me his throat hurt. Unfortunately, it threw a wrench in our plans to go and stay with my 93-year-old grandma for a couple of days because there is no way I will go and get her sick. I felt bad because my son was upset that he did not get to go and see grandma and grandma was sad we didn't make it but she understood. I am very thankful that my son and grandma can have a relationship because my grandparents were such a huge part of my childhood and probably the reason I did not end up in a foster home permanently or dead at the rate my parents were going. It turned into a busy weekend trying to fill orders. I have put out 7 dozen cookies, 12 loaves of zucchini bread and 3 dozen cupcakes. I love my business but sometimes it is overwhelming trying to juggle it all. 

Do you ever feel like you are so needed that you forget to make time for yourself or your spouse? I am working hard on trying to make more time for my husband that does not include him just helping me with my baking. It is easy to stop connecting and getting just sucked into everything else in life until one day you don't know each other anymore. I do not want that for my marriage and physical connection is important so if that means leaving something for the morning instead of rushing to get it done before bed so we have an extra few minutes that is what I am trying to do. I admit it is hard because I have a high level of anxiety and cleaning the house and making sure everything is done makes me feel better. Hopefully this helps some of you who may feel the same way. Have a great evening and please do not hesitate to reach out if you need someone to talk to!
