We survived!

Somehow we managed to survive a week of sickness. Poor Parker was super sick all week long. I have learned that having a sick baby is far worse than being sick yourself. I just felt so bad for the little fella. Just when I thought that he was getting better, he would prove me wrong! Thanks to my Amy, Heidi, and my mom for listening to my phone calls every day. It's always nice to have someone to call! Luckily, Heidi had a great song to get me through it all. (credit is fully given to her and Gloria Gaynor for the lyrics!)

I WILL SURVIVE

(ROTAVIRUS, EAR INFECTION, AND ALL OTHER ILLNESSES)

At first I was afraid

I was petrified

Kept thinking I could never live

WITH you by my side

But then I spent too long a night

thinking how you did me wrong

And I grew strong

And I learned how to carry on!

And so you’ve come

From outer space

I just walked in to find you here

with that sad look on Parker’s face

I should have used more Purell

I should have known that was the key

If I had known for just one second

you'd be back to bother me

Go on now go walk out the door

just turn around now

'cause you're not welcome anymore

weren't you the one who tried to hurt me, yes you tried

Did you think I'd crumble

Did you think I'd lay down and die

Oh no, not I

I will survive

Oh as long as I know how to love

I know I will stay alive

I've got all my life to live

I've got all my love to give

and I'll survive

I will survive (hey-hey)

It took all the strength I had

not to fall apart

kept trying hard to do the laundry

with a happy heart

and I spent oh all last night

just feeling sorry for myself

I started to cry

But now I hold my head up high

and you see me

somebody new

I'm not that chained up little person

still afraid of you

and so you felt like dropping in

and just expect me to be free

now I'm saving all my loving

for a healthy family

I WILL SURVIVE!
