Sickness....

This is one nasty bug! Now everyone in our household has had it. (Why do they always get sick at night???? And why can't they ever make it to the bathroom?) Thank goodness for all of us older people, it only lasts 1-2 days. Poor Camden is now on day 6. 3 of the 4 kids are home from church with me today, so we are just taking it easy and trying hard to not infect people. Oh well- enough whining. Things could be worse. Thanks to a couple of very inspirational blogs I read, I have gained a lot of perspective on things. For example, when Logan got sick on his sheets and I changed them at midnight, it was fine. I snuggled with him, rubbed his back, made up a clean bed, and started back downstairs. Before I even reached the bottom, he got sick on the NEW sheets and blankets, and so I had to make his bed up again. While, I can't say I love cleaning up after sick kids, the thought crossed my mind, "You are lucky to have them, appreciate the fact that they are here." I AM so grateful for them! I hate it when they are sick, and would love to take it away from them- but since I can't, I will love them, rub their backs, and sit with them until they fall asleep.
