There are things that I love about being a mother and other things, not so much. We have had a crazy week and I will let you decide which is good, which is bad and which is really ugly.
*I got sick on Wednesday and thought I had the swine flu. Luckily I don't, but I had kept the kids away from me until I was sure. Once I figured out I didn't, Justin came in my room and told me how grateful he was that I didn't have it. I thought he was worried about me and he acted concerned, but the more he spoke about it, I figured out that he was really grateful that I didn't have the swine flu because he didn't want to be quarantined for the next week and miss out on all of the fun places that they were planning on going.
*I had Justin rubbing my head, because my head hurt really bad and he is amazing at foot rubs, back scratches or head rubs. He tells me, "Mom I really like your forehead it is really nice." I say, "thanks bud that is really sweet." He follows it up with, "yeah I really like all of the wrinkles in it."
*My sweet sister-in-law Becky stayed at my house while I was sick and had made me soup for dinner. I finished the noodles and left the bowl on my bathroom counter. On Day 2 of her being at my house full time watching a truck load of kids, she had just bathed Jared and was about to leave. She bent down to grab toilet paper from under my bathroom sink and Jared walks in the bathroom and says "soup" as he pulls my leftover bowl of soup on top of both of them.
*Jared is learning lots of new words and how to do lots of new things. It is typically quite sweet. The other night I was talking to Chris on the phone and he tells me "mess." I follow him in the kitchen. He has just learned how to open my fridge and pull out the eggs and crack them on the floor. The good point as Sam points out is that at least me admits when he makes a mess.
*When Chris is gone my kids really like to sleep in my bed and as long as they don't get under my feet or kick my back while I am sleeping, I don't mind. However, it isn't so much fun when you are woken up at 3:30 in the morning with Tanner puking in the bed. I realized that I had chunks on my clothes. I send him in the shower and change my clothes and send Justin upstairs to his bed. He obviously wasn't too disturbed by the commotion because he crawled back in my puked bed and pulled the puked blanket on top of him. For some reason, he came out of it clean though so I sent him to bed a second time. My amazing daughter helped me with the cleanup process so that we could have a puke free place to sleep and put Tanner on the floor with his own blanket, towel and puke bucket. He felt much better last night and was trying to find a way to be sick so that he could have more sprite, gatorade and special treatment, but not too sick to be able to play and do the fun things he wanted to. It is a pretty fine line to figure out.
So it has been a fun week. Luckily Chris is back in town and we are feeling better and on board to baptize Devyn on Saturday.
