my day so far..

This morning has been full of blessings.

I was so tired this morning. I was lying on my bed watching Anne play in my room while Jacob was at the table eating a blueberry bagel for breakfast. Nathan wasn't even up yet. Anne was playing with my exercise bike and she started crying. I don't know what happened cause to be honest I had my eyes closed. (am I the only one who does this?) I wasn't super alarmed. It wasn't a "I'm Really hurt!" cry. It was just a, "I think I'm a little hurt and I'm mad" cry. So I say (without getting up) "Oh Anne, Are you OK? What happened?" What was so sweet about all this was that Jacob runs in, starts hugging Anne and whispers to Anne, "Are you OK? It's OK Anne, Bubba's here." My heart just melts. And I start to feel a little bit more guilty for being a slacker. He continues to crawl around with her with his arm around her, patting her back form time to time, saying "Bubba's here." In such a sweet, soothing voice.

Jacob is such a sweetheart, and in love with his baby sister.

Later this morning, after finishing Bible and History/Geography (while trying not to listen to Anne cry in her bed instead of nap) Nathan gets up and says with a pale face, "I'm going back to bed." I tell him that's fine cause he feels warm and when my kids ask for a "Tupperware," I know it's serious. Stepping over piles of laundry, toys and trying not to crush the cheerios that are on the floor before I have a chance to sweep them up, I rush to get something for him to puke in.

I'm actually pretty upset that he is sick because he is taking antibiotics for the first time EVER. He has always been so healthy and always gotten over sicknesses (always miner) at home. Well, last week I took him to the dentist and she had to pull a tooth that had an abscess. (aftermath of knocking it loose two separate times) So he is on antibiotics for that and even though I know that he needs them I'm still really sad that he has to take them.

I was planning on a trip to Kroger today...Not sure how that's going to work out. I think I am going to go get him some probiotics though.

Well, this is the half day of a mom of three. Exhausting (before it even starts), heart wrenching, but so uplifting...

and I love it!
