Being Sick Stinks (for EVERYBODY)

Yesterday I was feeling oh so accomplished. I went through the house and stripped down all the beds (which is not a lot of fun with the bunk bed, mind you). I washed ALL the bedding, pulled out the flannel sheets and proceded to remake all the beds. While I was in the process of doing this, I decided to rearrange one of the bedrooms.

I was bored with it.

Anyway, I got through most of the laundry, finished the beds, and stepped back to take a look at what I had done. I then made a yummy broccoli cheese soup and sat down with my family to eat. Mike headed off to school and the kids and I went visiting teaching. I came home and got the kids ready for bed. Jackson was in bed by 7:30! Kids were reading books, teeth and hair were brushed, the house was cleaned up. All was well and I was on the fast track to my "quiet time". I only had 30 minutes to go!

And then 7:45 came around...

Jackson woke up and started puking all over. The little guy didn't know what hit him; after all, he has never thrown up before :(... Luckily, Mike came home a little early and held him while I got all the girls in bed. Then I got to sit on the couch and hold him while he continued vomiting.

We called our neighbor over and asked if he would help give our little man a blessing. We have the best neighbors in the world! He came over and they gave him a blessing. One of the things mentioned was that he would stop vomiting and that he would sleep through the night and feel much better in the morning. And all of that has come to pass. Sure, he isn't 100% better, but at least he isn't throwing up and he is smiling again.

I am so grateful for the priesthood, I am grateful for good neighbors who are always there for us. I am grateful for a loving Father in heaven who hears and answers prayers and who is blessing my little boy right now.

So, I got to re-wash his bedding. At least we know his bed is super clean! If only I would have waited one more day to do all that laundry... oh well ;)!
