In the last 24 hours I've cleaned vomit off of my shoes, Glenn's shoes, and Beanie's shoes. The driveway. The car. Changed the sheets. Changed four vomity outfits. Combed vomit out of hair. Been sneezed on. Been spit up on. Changed poopy pants and poopy diapers. Done extra laundry and then some. Nursed a cranky one-year old off and on for nearly two hours straight while he fought falling asleep, kicked at me, pulled my hair, practiced nursing acrobatics, kept his sister awake and woke his dad up twice (or was it three times).
But, you know what? I also watched my son take his first steps. I held my daughter as she snuggled up next to me and fell asleep on the couch.
And those two things more than made up for all that other junk. Well, those two things and a hot shower.
Motherhood. You win some; you lose some.
(((((HUGS))))) Hope tomorrow's better! And that Bubby finally went to sleep...
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you and your family have been sick and dealing with all involved with a family of sickies. We've been going through similar here and you are so right. Those moments make it all worth it. And the shower. Yes. And the shower.
ReplyDeleteYou definately win! Even being able to look past the rest of the yuck is a win in itself! Winning! ;)
ReplyDeleteAwe, sounds like a rough one - but wonderful all the same...
ReplyDeleteHang in there - sending good health juju your way!
Oh no! I'm sorry you guys are all feeling icky! I hope it passes quickly! And Yay for P walking...and the cuddles are the best. Scotty doesn't like to cuddle much anymore unless he's tired, sick or has been away from us overnight!
ReplyDeleteSickness sucks, but yay for the first steps!!!! Here's a funny for you: last week I was sitting in a meeting and realized I had baby puke on my shoe....lol!
