Seems to be my life right now…we are all so icky with allergies/colds. We’ve all been passing it around and around. So we’ve been drinking lots of tea, making foods with garlic or taking garlic tabs and drinking lots of water.
It’s absolutely no fun when Mom is sick with the kids, but I’ve enjoyed it very much at the same time. Bensen has spent a lot of time rocking in my lap and just hugging me. Jenavieve has been content, especially in her new found “friends” in her bouncy seat, and I’m just experiencing the full joy of caring for my kids. Reading the Bible with them and watching Hide Em’ In Your Heart more times in a day than most people watch it in a life time! Bensen is so cute because he’ll sit on my lap and point out things like “Cooks Keeys” and He’ll do sign language with “This is How We Know” and tries so hard to say Jesus, which usually comes out “Eeessasss” but we’re working on it I guess I felt like writing this to say, I have all these goals and “things to do” around the house. But absolutely NOTHING has been more precious than this time dedicated completely to the kids. I’m still getting things done, and it’s still my job to get things done. I’ve just been reminded of what the priorities really are once again. “To teach the words that I have commanded you diligently to your children” not, have your house cleaned from top to bottom and well organized for this is what I’ve commanded you.
Of course I’ll working on organizing and cleaning it from top to bottom, and I have to tell you loving this book “The House That Cleans Itself” Check it out!
