After being poked and prodded at the doctor said "well, you have a good reason to look that bad. You have the flu and strep throat!" Geez, thanks Doc! Then she said..."and you should not be around anyone for 5 days"! Huh???? Oh no! I have to work this week!!! It is very important that I am there...oh my word, what am I gonna do!???? Then...it dawned on me...there is nothing that I can do about this. God obviously wants me to calm it down for a few days. He not only took away my work responsibilities but my home responsbilities...I can't be close to my sweet kids or kiss my husband...I can cook or clean or stick love notes in my kid's lunch boxes! Sitting here at home while everyone is away makes me the saddest lady on the planet. It has made me realize that my wild and crazy kids and husband makes this house a home. I don't want to be in this house with out them. I miss them like crazy and I am SO ready to be over this crazy stuff! They just better be ready because when I am well enough they are gonna get about 5 days worth of sugars for me! I have missed their sweet little hands that I get to hold when I walk them in to school. And we sing "this is the day that Lord has made" everyday on the way to school...I miss them singing as loud as they can and off key! I miss the kisses that I get when I leave them at school...and the kisses I get when I pick them up from school! I miss meeting my husband for lunch so we can have a conversation with out having to cut up someone's meat or take someone to the bathroom. I have lost my voice these last 2 days and all though it has been nice to take a break I miss talking! I actually LOVE talking...I am sure that takes you by surprise. Yesterday I was trying to tell Mason that I loved him and I had to repeat it 5 times...he finally said "mom, if you are not going to use your big girl voice, then don't talk at all". I wonder where he has heard that before!
But as I sit here sick, I remember a conversation that I had with my boss just about a week ago. I was sharing with her that I thought I needed to step back an get my act together. I let my emotions worry me and I am not good at time management. A few things that I need to work on. Here lately...if my kids say they want to play...then we play! But that means laundry does not get done and I don't start dinner till their bed time. I feel that me being sick is God's was of saying...ok, take a break from eveything and start back refreshed and on a schedule! Although I am a little hard headed sometimes...I did not want to be this sick to hear what God was trying to tell me...but God, I hear ya! And thank you for all that you have given to me! I need to do MY part to organize my life better.
To start some organizing...I went through some of my very favorite baby pictures of Mason and Annie! Here a few for you to enjoy too!!!
This is Annie's very 1st trip to the pumpkin patch...tell us how you really feel, Annie! This picture makes me laught out loud every single time I see it! She is so funny!
My sweet baby Mason! He was such a happy baby!
One of my very favorite pictures of my sweet Annie! I am proud because I took the picture, made Annie's outfit that she is wearing AND gave birth to that beautiful little girl!
I could just eat him up!!! He is truly a momma's boy!
Annie wearing Mason's goggles! BAhahaha! She cracks me up!
Ah! My 2 favorite boys! This was taken at a friend's wedding...the music was loud, it was about 8:00 at night and yet the photographer still managed to capture this sweet picture!
Well, that is all for now...my sweet family will be home soon and I look like I have been crying like a girl that did not get invited to the prom! I am guilty of being emotional...a little too emotional. But when I think of all that God has given to ME...I can't help but to break down in tears and thank Him for my many MANY blessings. Even when I am sick...I am have SO much to be thankful for!
