Need to Record

I am feeling a need to record what is going on in our lives.

Last week Abby was sick for 3 long days.

The first day she had diarrhea,

then the next two days she was throwing up.

She couldn't keep anything down.

She lost some weight.

I was feeling a little scared.

She is very strong minded.

All she wanted was sugar.

The first night she was sick

she would come in during the night saying,

"Mom, it happened again."

She had diarrhea while she was asleep.

The second night

she would wake me up because

she was hungry or she was throwing up.

The third night was the same as the second.

The third night I woke up feeling panicked

because she didn't wake me up.

I thought maybe she threw up and then choked on it.

She was so week.

But she was fine.

The fourth night that week

Jacob woke me up at 5:00 am

He wet the bed.

He had a bath.

Thank goodness that was a Saturday morning.

Matt took car of him.

After his bath he came to bed with me and Bryan.

Jacob slept till 8:00 am

He woke up because he wet MY bed.

My bedding was washed but I still need to clean his,

how gross is that?

An elderly lady was watching me doze off

during Sunday school and asked me how I was doing.

I told her how my week went

and I made the comment,

"I was just having a VERY motherly week"

Sunday at church

Jacob fell asleep in a pew.

He slept for about 2 hours or longer.

When he woke up he was wet.

Matt took him home

and bathed him.

When church got out I wondered where Matt was.

When he got back to church he was walking towards me

with paper towels and vinegar water spray.

He told me the story and went in to clean up the mess.

This is the last week of school.

I don't know if I am ready for them to be home full time.

They are fighting so much.

Anger with over 100 degree weather is going to be tough.

Each summer I feel like I have to teach the kids basics.

Be nice

Listen

use your inside voices

help around the house

make time for quiet time

make your bed

have fun with each other

family first

then friends

Is that too much to ask?
