Day 144 Friday the 13th oooh!

Well, we began our morning at 3 AM with Joel getting sick and David waking up at 8 to go out and get the Rug Doctor from the store to clean up our carpet....Joel was 12 INCHES from our linoleum bathroom floor! LOL

I had a babysitter coming to watch Connor and David stayed home.  Joel stayed in his bed and watched movies and drank water.  I got to go to my MOPS meeting for a couple of hours.  That REALLY helped me re-charge my mommy battery!  The topic at MOPS was on patience and it could not have been a better topic for me to hear and then come back home to the front line of flu war.

I am so glad I got to be there for Joel all day!  I gave him food, helped him watch movies, and got to be the mom who takes care of someone sick...sort of a happy moment for me because I was the caretaker for the first time in a long time!

I ended my day with a cup of herbal tea and a few quiet moments.  Showing love by serving others is so nice.  I was so happy and peaceful tonight.  It was a rough day because of things with David's work and things at home, but being surrounded by my precious little family put it all into perspective for me.  There is NOTHING else that matters.  If David should lose his job, he will find another one...God will provide for my little family.  If I am so tired I can't move, I WILL find the strength somehow.  We can make it through by keeping to our mantra of finding the joy....it has done so well for us thus far!
