It can’t be! Its not ALLOWED! Laela and Rowan both have runny noses!!!!! If we all get sick again, I’m truly not sure how I will handle the next two months. We CANNOT be six for the next six weeks. I don’t want to overreact, but I’m pretty spooked, as we’re all just recovering from the last blow of sickness.
That being said, we had lots of happy, playful moments in the day, but it seemed as though the bad attitudes were determined to win, and the kids struggled. Especially Dekker, which leads me to believe he could be feeling under the weather as well. Its a scary thought.
While the kids napped, my mom made she and I a delicious lunch, and we finished up a movie we had started the other day. We spent good time resting and discussing more housing details. She is a wealth of understanding, and a fantastic sounding board. After an afternoon chat, I feel so much better about so many little aspects of our impending move(s) and some extra confidence I didn’t have before. My mom is a rockstar, if you haven’t figured that out by now.
The kids are now down, which is a treat, because there were just so many tears this evening. I think it was hard for everyone. Dekker is so expressive, and I am so thankful that he can cry and say “Mommy, I’m sad!” I’ve always just said that Dekker’s volume knob is stuck on max, and that continues to be true, which is hard for me when we’re in a somewhat stressful time of life and I’m feeling low. But clearly, he is as well, and I definitely can sympathize. Poor kid. I hope they rest well.
