You know how it is with sick kids...you go into survival mode. I've had to make sure Paislee has had peace and privacy bc her sweet little self has been so sick. Hudson had a fever, but still has felt ok. Cozi has been sick too but still up and playing. You try and give lots of cuddles, meds on time, soup cooked, fluids poured around the clock. And cleaning up vomit or random kleenexes all around your house, all while trippin over laundry. That's been us this week, except with the girls sick and the boys being buck wild. Flying through the house on scooters that ram me in the heels, Dax asking me every 60 seconds to pull their finger, and Hudson requesting a new snack every 20 minutes. I kid you not, at 8:34 this morning I had to text Cody to have him buzz in (in a scary voice) on the intercom and tell the boys to put their shirts back on and stop the wrestling match. It's all fun and games til someone gets kicked in the balls. No boys, not on my watch. { I will try and protect your future swimmers so you won't have to spend thousands getting my grandkids here one day.} Cub refuses to have downtime ever. He likes to stand on counters and rummage the cabinets for hair gel to cover his hair in. He. is. obsessed with it.
Praise Jesus no one has cut their hair or their little sisters hair in a month. {Dax and his little side kick went scissor happy on a spree, cutting everybody's hair.} I call that a win 🙌 He tricked me today and thought he had slipped off to sleep, (he's the one I have to watch like a hawk 24/7.) Swear yall, Before 8 am I had to perform a wild goose chase and shove my fingers down his throat and beg him, for the love of chocolate to please not OD on damn flinstone vitamins again. Nope...Not today. Do yall remember I have ADD? Where was I? Oh yeah...Cub. Yep, he is worse than Dax ever thought about being. So anyways, he was still and asleep (so I thought) So I hid out on my bathtub and checked out my amazon deals. I heard a huge splash and there he was. How can a momma get mad when he is grinning from ear to ear and says, "You my best friend." Cozi shows up next and says shes "gonna have daddy get me a big sweet tea, so we can share it." My heart, she knows caffeine is the way to my heart. That and their sweet little voices. No matter how long some of the winter days are, in a way, they're some of my favorites. They make you slow down from the everyday hustle and bustle. Let's try and embrace it, mommas. Even when it's tiring, it's a good thing to be needed. But I will say, the chef here is reallllly tired and I vote Wacky Pack Wednesday for tomorrow.
Valentine's Day is in a couple days and the date we had planned won't be happening. We will postpone and maybe have a fajita and movie date in the living room when the kids go to bed. You can never go wrong with chips and salsa,
Mommas, let's try and enjoy these next few days off of school. Bring on the board games, puzzles, wrestling matches and momma prayin for patience 20 times. Cody died laughing at me on Sunday, bc we had to miss church again bc Pais was sick. I sat them all down an a blanket and was gonna do some bible stories, Duggar Style. Preachin and teachin em. After 5 minutes I was having to bite my tongue not to curse. They were wrestling, taking off all their clothes and giggling uncontrollably. They do this all til momma starts laughing too. And I think God looks down and laughs sometimes too. As I always say...he knows our transparency and our hearts...and knows us mommas a little extra grace sometimes.
Oh yeah, and another thing...
Our journey continues. If you've followed our story in the past, we have 4 sweet frozen embryos waiting on us. We've always been bold in our story and how precious these little souls are to us. We will give them each a chance at life (not all 4 at the same time 😂). We are already praying so hard for God's hand and will to be over their lives, my body and our family. Yes, to some we may be crazy, and maybe we are. But we know this is what's right for us. And frankly, the size of our family isn't anyone elses concern. Unless ofcourse, you love big families, then we would love your comments! 🙋💁😹They're ours and as their parents, we will always fight for them and I'll always advocate for sweet Embryos. Every life matters. I never thought I'd ever have to defend the fact that human life and souls are sacred and each one has a purpose. I haven't decided if I will share updates along the way, or blog about it after the process is over. It's a very emotional process and exhausting process. Please keep us in your prayers.
Until next time,
Love and Lysol...
Andi xoxo
