sickness has hit my home. not to worry, it's nothing major. just a stomach virus with what seems to be the beginning of the flu.
normally, this would mean a tired, sleep deprived momma and probably grumpy at that.
i am sleepy but that's never abnormal with me. i'm not a morning person, but far from being grumpy or feeling overwhelmed from caring for a sick child and another one that is beginning to feel sick, i feel cozy and fulfilled. even with not having time to pamper myself this week.
there's something that comes with motherhood that is unexplainable. sure i wish that my kids were not sick and that they were running around happily and alas, being noisy with screams and laughter; however, these moments that i can carry my child on my lap and cuddle him i feel fulfilled as a mother.
i know it sounds weird, but it's being able to nurture and care for another human being, my child, that fills me with this warm fuzzy feeling.
sure i may be sleep deprived, a little tired, and worried for his recovery, but being a mommy and knowing he can count on me to care for him in his weakened state, makes me feel pretty darn important in his life.

Feel better little buddy :)
The germs are definitely full force right about now! Praying for your family that it's over quick - it seems the bigger the family, the harder it is to kick the nasties for good! We're only a family of 4 but always seem to be catching it back from each other haha
i'm terrified of my baby getting sick...hopefully its not for a long, long time. Hoping healing comes soon to your household!
thank you all. i'm praying and crossing fingers my other two steer clear of germs!
