No Kidding Hon....

Last week three out of my four kids had some kind of cold

and PINK-EYE.

And on Sunday, 'Bug', the 3rd threw up 5 times - poor girl.

The last time she threw up was after all of the kids had been tucked in for the night.

She was in her bed so I held her on the couch while Prince Charming changed the sheets and

made a princess bed on the floor by my bed using the cushion from her window bench.

While I was holding her she looked at me with her beautiful, huge, black eyes and said,

"Mommy, let's talk some more, okay?"

"Okay honey."

"You know Mom, it's not that easy being me today. Sigh "

No kidding sweet girl. It hurts a mommy's heart to see one of her babies so sick.

But I sure love holding them.

It's the perfect excuse to do nothing but soak in a snuggle,

and let everything else go.

I would gladly take it from her and carry a barf bowl around instead.

She was so proud of herself for making it to the sink or in a bowl 3/5 times.

She's only 3 1/2 years old.

Prince Charming and I always tell the kids that if their stomach feels funny

AND their jaw starts to hurt, then it's time to make a run for the sink.

She remembered and did it.

She saved me from barfing right along with her.

I love that little girl so much.

Being a Mom is the best.
