More sick days

This has been us these past two weeks. Mommy is just a little tired, I've been taking care of sick people (who are not quite mature enough yet to endure sickness with dignity or even just a little bit of politeness). One day, I know. In the mean time, let's just all take it out on mom, and let her know how miserable we are. "If I don't get the drink I want, in the right colored cup, I think I might just lose it! What?!!! You brought me orange juice? I wanted water! I don't want my nose wiped!! I want more medicine!! Don't touch me Eamon, move over, your touching my FOOT! No, now I DO want orange juice?" How would I have know that? I guess I should have known, anyway, you know the drill. It wears on the nerves just a wee bit, and if mom isn't super human, she just might give back a little bit of the attitude that has been flung her way! Chris let's me leave the house from time to time while I'm caring for the sick children, just so I don't kill them. And then there are also those very precious moments when the sick children are so sweet. Have you ever noticed that they will complain incessantly to mom when they are sick and yet if daddy even tries to hold them, watch out, "I want mommy!!!" Especially the babes, the last couple days, when daddy picks up Cait, her lip curls under and she starts to cry looking at me like I am leaving her with someone she's never met in her life, "How could you let this man pick me up?!!!!" This too shall pass :) Please pray for me that I don't get sick. I REALLY don't need to be sick with this nasty cold!!! Blessings to you, hope you can understand why I've taken such a long break from blogging lately. It's been survival mode around here for a couple weeks. Don't you wish you could schedule sick days? :)
