3/12/10 - I'm back!

I'm sure some of you have really missed my blog this past week.
(Ha, ha, ha - yeah right....... the above is a joke.)

In all seriousness, I have missed writing all week. Its been a rough few weeks for us. Sean working odd hours and now this week I got really sick. I think my body just decided that it needed a break and was worn out. I'm going to request that my body update me on its schedule so that I might be better prepared next time. (Hee, hee if only it worked that way.)

I have said many times over and over how difficult it is to be a sick Mom. I had a throbbing headache all day yesterday and not to mention a really achy/sore body. To take care of two very active children through all that was sort of impossible. I told my husband how terrible of a Mom I was because all I could do is lay down on the couch and pray for God's protection of my children. I know this sounds awful and completely irresponsible but Sean could not come home from work to help me so I was on my own. My youngest son stayed close by me as he always does and thankfully my oldest son although still mischievous was reasonably well behaved.

Nap time couldn't come soon enough and I was so thankful for the opportunity to lay my head down and get some much needed rest.

I was blessed to find when I woke up that my husband had surprised me and found a way to come home early to help with the kids. I was so thankful and incredibly grateful to him because I know his work load was not light this week. He thought first of me and the kids instead of himself and his job. I praise God for giving me such a very thoughtful and considerate husband. He has mentioned often these past few weeks how full his work plate is and so I realized the sacrifice he made for me.

It was so nice to be able to rest and after I woke up a hot bath made me feel even better.

I am glad to report that today I am finally feeling close to 100%.

Each time I get sick I always keep telling myself what a blessing it is to have your health. Each day I wake up I need to always praise the Lord for my health. It should and is going to become an unconditional requirement of my daily schedule.

I hope all of you are healthy and have had a wonderful week.
Happy Friday and I pray your weekend be full of quality time with family and friends.
