1. Maggie and Nick are here to help
So it has been a tough day. I am exhausted, worn out, and still sick. It is great to have these guys here to help with dishes, play with the boys, and make meals. I am sure that they think that I am crazy and lost my mind...but maybe I have. I am just grateful that they are here and I can continue to get sleep and pick up more hours at work.
2. My parents and Sam's Club
This afternoon while I was taking a nap my parents stopped by with a TON of stuff for us from Sam's club. I kept walking around the house finding more stuff. Tide, toilet paper, muffin mix, chips and dip, combos and more...it was great. They even got bagel bites which I would eat when I was in high school. It was a nice surprise when I got up.
3. Erin
So my sister lives in Denver. She loves it there but we all want her to move home desperately. Today when I was just basically breaking down from pure exhaustion and frustration I immediately called her. She was able to get my mind onto something else and help me relax so I could fall asleep. I can't wait to meet Sawyer and I just wish that she lived closer.
4. The boys are not sick....yet
I have been really sick this past week and not able to kiss and love on the boys. So far they have not been sick. Today is the first day that I am thinking that Owen sounds a little stuffy so we shall see how the rest of the weekend plays out. I know they will get sick sometime in their lives but I am feeling nervous for my children to get sick...ever.
5. A shower
It is 9pm, I just got out of the shower, the boys are in bed, Greg and Nick are at a Butler game, and I feel peace in my home. My teeth are brushed, I have a bra on, I feel rested, life is good. I usually get a shower everyday but must of been much needed because now I feel great. Off to work in a few hours.

Some day I will move back! In the mean time, you are doing an awesome job multiple mom! You have two little boys (and one grown man) who's lives depend on you ~ and you are providing them with great lives. Things will never be easy (I know -- that sucks to read) but remember that you are never alone and things aren't easy for anyone! Seriously, everyone has to go through some poop once in awhile to appreciate the awesome parts of life -- believe me, I know. :) Love ya and always thinking about you in Colorado. Jess sends his love too. Tell Greg to hug and kiss the boys extra for us (since you are too sick to do it).
