Some days it feels as though my kids just don't get it. As I'm strongly communicating with them I'm getting the glazed donut from their big blue eyes!! (I'm super excited all my kids have blue eyes). Then out of the blue, they say or do something that lets me know that it's not all sawdust in there. I've been working on a sinus infection and thanks to our friend,the doctor, he called in a Z-pak for me. So, I was with the boys getting ready for bed last night and our routine is to read some books, the bible, whatever and then sing a few songs and go to bed. Well, my voice is really rough and after a full day of communicating with my children, I was worn out. So, after I made it through the Itsy Bitsy Spider, I came down and asked Alex to help me out because I just couldn't talk to them anymore. So, he obligingly took the baby, who was asleep on him, up to her bed and finished the bed task. But before I left the boys, I told them that Mommy hurts so daddy's coming up. James and Ryan were on the bed and James told me to stand up. So, I stood up in front of him. Then he told me to turn around, so I did. Then he patted my back and said "back hurt mommy?". I said 'No, my throat hurts'. So, he rubbed my throat and then gently kissed it on either side. What boo-boo doesn't go away with a tender kiss? Well, my throat still hurt, but my heart was full!
