I’m still here…I think?!
Okay…so I’m not quite feeling THAT much better than yesterday. Of course…having four children running and screaming and not listening doesn’t help the whole sinus headache much…well, not at all.
Jason is at work right now…and I wish he was here with me instead.
He got home late last night. In fact, I’d just started to fall asleep when he walked in. He felt bad that he woke me up…but I told him not to because I was just so glad that he was home. He laid down and held me until I fell back asleep.
I awoke this morning to Jonah running into the bedroom yelling something that wasn’t even comprehensible…but Jason got up with him and told me to rest…leaned down and kissed me and then shut the door behind him. I awoke a couple of hours later…this time to a much better scenario…to the smell of bacon and eggs cooking. Jason was making breakfast! What a guy eh?
I went upstairs to find him cooking and the children sitting at the kitchen table. He is very sweet…he said that he was trying to make me some food and surprise me. (awe) So we had eggs, bacon(turkey bacon that is..) and bisquits. I usually make a big breakfast on Saturday mornings for the family…but since I’m sick…he decided to do it for me.
He stayed with me most of the day before leaving for work. We watched some football (in between him having to check on the kids every five minutes)…but it was nice to spend a little bit of time together.
Right now…I’m just trying to keep my sanity…considering my head is still killing me and I’m dealing with three out of the four children totally NOT listening to me.
My throat is pretty swollen…so eating isn’t fun or real tempting…but, a necessity (not a good dieting tactic btw
). However, raising your voice at children to try and discipline them…doesn’t help the pain or the swelling much.
Jason is off of work tomorrow…so hopefully I’ll get some rest…if the kids will permit it that is. It’s tough being the Mom darn it!
(that’s a good note for those of you ladies who aren’t yet Moms…)
Anyway…enough of my whining…I hope that y’all are having a fabulous weekend so far! I’ll be fine…just as soon as my love gets home and can take care of me.
Oh…one last thing…I’ll see if I can get Jason to post tomorrow on Christmas and his gift from me.

Sounds like you have an extrodinary man in Jason. Your appreciation for him is so lovely and I know you work really hard to keep the family going. Sending you **********stars for a job well done
Yes, Jason sounds like a great guy. Any man who can cook for and take care of 4 kids definitely ranks high in my books!
I’m praying for healing in your body and for calm behaving children so you can get lots of rest tomorrow. 
Nice that someone takes care of Mom when she’s not well! I’m sending mine away for the day so I can rest in quiet…ugh…~Spot~
Ahhhh…..that was so sweet.
I hope you get to feeling better soon. {{{hugs}}}
By the way, how did the eggs and bacon taste?
Least you have someone……
jason sure seems like a great guy!!!!!!

You’ve got yourself a good man there hun!!! Hang on to him!
and get better soon will ya?!?! 
I hate sore throats. I hate coughing. I hate headaches. So I do hope you feel better real soon!
BTW–are those eyeballs in the martini glasses above? Just wondering.
I just wandered in … Happy New Year.
Moms still have to be moms even when they are sick, don’t they? Hope you feel better!
Hope that you are feeling much better by now. Jason surely is a “keeper”! Bless him for caring for you so tenderly!
Moms aren’t allowed to be sick – didn’t you get the memo?
Jason is the MAN!!! When you’re well, and up to it, please give him a 15 minute massage (then the other stuff). THAT always cheers MyKidzDad when I do that for him!
