I went to the clinic with my daughter. A doctor said, "She is middle-ear infection. And you are glossitis. I fell always taste hot and I don't taste a smoke. My daughter is always a cought with phlegm. I seem she have a hard. She couldn't good sleep by a caugh with phlegm. I couldn't go to sleep, too. So I stayed up with her. The reason I'm not very well is probably that I'm worn out from looking after my daughter seems to be telling on me. My husband was good sleep before night. Do you worry about her? I can't understand it. And he is a snorer. It's so noisy.  

The clinic was extremely crowded today. I think we need gargling and hand washing. It's very important. The flu is going around. Influenza can be fatal in older people and babies who are already weak. So it's a terrible disease.

with undiminished gratitude

I thank God I met my family. I sometimes forgot thanks. I never I don't forget thanks. Smile of my family. My husband helps to me. It's wash dishes and takes a bus with my children. He is very busy every day. He was without complaining. 

I was always nagging there to keep a living room and their room clean. I was in a bad temper for some reason. My son sometimes does things especially to provoke me. For example, Unable to work the toy car properly, the child threw a fit of temper and broke it. Then, in his fury he hurled anything that came to hand. I said, "I suppose you know what will happen it you make me sole my temper. Now I really am angry. Stop that!" Like that, I am too ready to lose my temper over little things. 

My husband is always cool judgment. I recover my self-possession. He showed admirable presence of mind on that occasion. I asked him, "How can you stay so calm?" He said to me, "Because I love my family, I think always thanks for my family." He can take things coolly. I said to me, "Don't be so excited; try to be little bit calmer and I never forget thanks for my husband, daughter and my son. Thank you.

I scold to her, "Where was my ring?" My daughter said to me, "I don't know mom." I said, "Why isn't there my ring." My daughter said again, "I don't know." I told to her, "Don't touch mom's things. Mom's all things!!!"  She cried but I shout to her. "Don't touch and don't use my all things. Do you understand? Please, don't touch." She said, "Ok mom. I could understand it."

But I worried it because she likes use my things. For example, my clothes, ring, cosmetics and boots and so on. My worry is continuing.
