I have been sick. Like REALLY sick. With just a stupid cold but it has been like the cold of all colds. I have had it for over a week and it has put me under. On Monday I woke up and couldn't hear out of my right ear, turns out I have double ear infections and my ear drum ruptured later that day. So I have been doing the absolute bare minimum and nothing else and its starting to show. The house is a wreck, there are piles of laundry, and the kids have watched more TV than I care to admit to. But I think the really cool part about being sick is seeing how your family responds.
My family freaking rocks. From Matt doing laundry and taking care of the kids to how my kiddos have been stepping up and pulling their weight. My mom and sister bringing me cinnamon rolls. Then my brother in law bringing dinner that he made! And my dad dropping off a pie! But the best is how the kids have been taking care of me.
On Monday when my eardrum ruptured I was pretty much down with all the pain. Nathan was bringing me drinks and snacks and trying to show me funny videos on YouTube. Logan was by my side covering me up with his blanket and insisting on rubbing my back and constantly telling me to close my eyes. The best was when he tried to fill the humidifier up with water because "it makes mommy healthy."
Even though being sick is no fun I love how much my family has been caring for me. And I'm so proud of my kids and how quick they are to see a need and serve in any way that they can. I have felt very loved and cared for and feel blessed to have such an awesome family!!
