We have been under the weather since New Years. I am not sure if that is an indication of the year 2012 or not.... I guess we will celebrate 2012 over Chinese New Year, I am hoping we will all be well soon. The virus started with myself, then my son still struggling with it and not well enough for school yet. Now my daughter has it. Hopefully hubby won't get it, knock on wood.
We have had a lot of soup during this virus that we are battling, the kids have said, "No more soup Mom".
I made soup home made a few times, we had canned soups and the instant noodle soups. The canned and the noodle soups not being the most healthy so high in salt. There is just something about soup that is comforting when you are not well. Like a grandmother that holds you in her lap and comforts you after a fall.
Despite what my family have said, I will be making more soup today. It is just needed, with the kids staying home, another school day missed, to climb back in bed and hope that the chills, coughs, sore throats, headaches, body aches, nasal congestion, will all recede and the illness will pass soon. The weather outside is deciding whether it will snow and stay or not... as the weather men on the local television stations gaze into their crystal balls and try to give us a prediction of the weather to come. As I look out my window this morning and gaze at the snow that is falling and the grey bleakness of the sky, I decide that we need some warmth and comfort.
Soup it will be, and a nice warm hug.
