making lemonade

Reader beware.... realities of mommy hood ahead (and a little complaining.)

I'm trying really hard not to be grumpy. Let's start with the fact that it's HOT. 100+ degrees. I really dislike being hot. Especially at night when your trying to sleep. And then Grace was up last night coughing. Finally when I got her situated, it seemed like right away (but it was probably several hours later), I heard Luke crying. Poor baby was throwing up in his bed :( He has been coughing and has a runny nose, so I'm thinking he choked and that was that.... So, after a change of clothes and stripping his bed, Luke slept with us in our bed. With a towel on my nightstand.

OK, now that I got that out of my system, let me turn it all around. Shall, we? Got lemons? Make lemonade.



:: Yes, it's hot, but we are blessed to have a pool.
:: The temperatures are supposed to cool off some this week (the high 80's).
:: Luke's bedding needed to be washed anyways.
:: No church today because of sick children, but some extra time together (note to self, make the best of it!)
:: Thankfully, Jerry was home last night and could hold Luke while I cleaned up his room. Usually these things happen when he is working ;) Keep your fingers crossed for tonight....
:: We slept in until almost 8 AM this morning!
:: Grace is doing her homework right now and Luke is totally involved in Elmo Visits the Firehouse (allowing me this moment of "free time.")
:: Moo-moo had Cole last night for a sleepover, so I didn't have to worry about Luke waking up his brother.
:: Our downstairs playroom is about 10 degrees cooler than upstairs. And we have Pollyanna from the library to watch today. Grace and I will be happy about this!


Praise the Lord! I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart. Psalm 111:1
