“I sure do love you”

I spent the entire afternoon wrapped in my blanket, while the boys did whatever they wanted in my room, and the baby was forced to suck his pacifier in his crib!

Having the flu is bad enough, but having the flu and being responsible for 3 kids is almost impossible…

The 3 year old was very understanding of the situation and always let me know that he would take care of me (of course the very next second he would be pushing his brother or pulling a toy away from him…which inevitably makes me shout at them), but he means well… I hope.

Chills, dizziness, coughing, sneezing…add some screaming kids, a crying baby, and a husband who was working late… and just when I felt like I couldn’t take it anymore, my eldest son looks at me and says… ”I sure do love you mummy”…

Brotherly Love

We are back home…got to my mom’s house about 7pm…the ‘almost’ 2 year old was overjoyed to see us again, mostly his brothers…

The reunion of the 3 year old and the ‘almost’ 2 year old brought tears to my sister’s eyes (I think because she is also a middle child and felt we should not have left him behind)…they were both so happy to see each other…The ‘almost’ 2 year old kept saying his name and hugging him. Of course after 5 minutes they were already fighting!

Again…its 7am on a saturday morning…the middle child is again looking around the room for different things he can interfere with…and is talking rather loudly to himself… The baby is watching me from his crib but I gave him a pacifier instead…

My eldest son is still sleeping…still tired from the trip. My husband is snoring next to me…

I just have to wait about 7 more years and then I can get some sleep too!! And people say I have no patience!
