What a month March has been. Busy as it may be, though, it's been (mostly) good. Yesterday was a little rough, however. Abby woke up with a stomach bug and was really sick all day. Carson had claimed a stomachache, too, and since I had four kids in the house (Madi and Reagan were staying with us) and Aaron had just left for work in my car (his truck was totaled just before we left for vacation), I let him stay home. The morning went fairly enough. I quarantined Abby and Carson to their rooms so they wouldn't get the girls sick. Abby slept most of the morning, but Carson wasn't too keen on staying in his room and spent the day (even after it was time to come out of his room) throwing enormous tantrums the likes of which I have not seen in a long time. I finally got around to taking the shower I'd been dreaming about since the day before, then sat on the couch to read a magazine for a few minutes before I made lunch for the kids. Made lunch and sat with Abby while she tried to eat, and then... she was sick. No time to make it to the bathroom.
It was a long day.
Aaron got home and, across the dinner table, said to me, "Why don't you get out and go sit and have a cup of coffee or something? I've got things from here."
What a blessed, wonderful,
amazing man.
I couldn't go hang out with friends or anything since I'd been taking care of a sick little girl all day, but it was enough to be out of the house. I went and just
sat at Starbucks for a good while. While I was there, I thought about very little -- just enjoyed the quiet and my venti light ice chai.
Ahhh...
After that, I went to Target and Sprouts and picked up a couple things I'd been needing. And coveted all this stationary. Isn't it
beautiful?!
As I headed home, I turned up my favorite "me" music. I felt like a totally different girl when I got home.
I am so thankful for a great husband who cares for me so well, for time to relax, and for my amazing family whom I love being with and taking care of.
