dear january

january,
you have never been my favorite.
with the exception of my dear hanna's birthday
i find your days long and melancholy.
but these days you are trying my patience and perseverance.
you have brought my darling boy solly not only a bad case of rsv,
but also ear infections, thrush, fevers,
all making it near impossible to plump up his ever-so-slight figure.
you have cursed precious ada with fever and strep throat
allowing her to be home with me
and the other littles for six days in a row now.
six days is too many, i must say.
you have also encouraged my sweet hanna
to lodge a pebble in her ear as she play the role of
"grandma" in a friendly game of family.
neither pediatrician nor ent have been able to remove it.
off to the hospital we shall go on thursday.

please be kinder,
more gentle,
even sparkly.

if not, i might go crazy.

sincerely,
courtney
