Yesterday I gave you 5 Benefits of Having My Kiddos Sick. Today I give you 5 benefits of having your kids well.
- They go back to school. After five days of having sick kiddos at home and trying to find the positive in it it’s nice when they are finally able to go back to school. They are tired of being at home and I’m tired of them bouncing off the walls.
- We are able to get back into our daily routine. I’m very routine orientated. I have to have some kind of plan or else everything is thrown off. I’ve noticed over the years that the kiddos act better when we have routines. Now that they are well we are able to get back into the swing of things.
- I’m able to take a day off to recoup. Since the kiddos were all sick my time was spent taking care of them and keeping them entertained. Now that they are better and back in school I was able to take today to rest and relax.
- I’m able to clean my house. While the kiddos were sick I was happy to not have to clean house. However, now they are better and I’m tired of looking at the mess. It’s kind of like the routine thing. Cleaning house is part of my day so while I’m happy to not do it every once in awhile I do like to have it in order.
- It’s quiet. Now that the kiddos are well it is so much quieter around the home. I love hearing the sounds of my kiddos voices but man I love quiet. One of my favorite things to do is sit in silence and either knit or read a book. (Silence is probably my favorite music.)
