Some days I just feel like the little engine that could. Yesterday was one of those days that I was super productive and feeling like I was controlling my life and not letting life control me. I cleaned the house, finished ALL the laundry, spent quality time with Chloe, cooked a yummy dinner & dessert, went to the gym, and just enjoyed the beautiful day we were blessed with! ( I know, I know... toot toot.. there goes my horn, but that's not the point. LOL!) Needless to say when bedtime rolled around I was spent! I crawled in bed and instantly had visions of a full night of sleep in a warm bed. WRONG! Shortly after, Chloe came strolling down the hall and insisted on "snuggling" with us. I am not a fan of kids in the bed, but due to serious sleep deprivation for both Jarred and I, we conceeded and let her climb in. About 30 minutes later she was squirming around, and I sat up just in time.... oh yes! She was sick! The poor thing was miserable all night and I ended up attempting to sleep on the couch in the kids' playroom so Jarred could get some rest and I could be closer to help her, and clean up after her. Thankfully she's feeling much better this morning and is happily watching cartoons. I on the other hand am struggling to stay awake, and literally had to force myself out of bed to get the kids to school this morning. The overcast morning seemed to make things worse, but on our way back home from dropping the kids off, I was reminded that there is a silver lining to every cloud. I looked up and saw the sun breaking through the clouds. It's one of my favorite sights of all time. Seeing the sun rays streaming down is just so peaceful!! And right there in my car I found the source of my energy to get me through the day. But man am I glad that it's left over night! LOL!!!
Here are a few pictures of the girls this week (I'll make sure to get some of Colby soon... not sure how he escaped the camera! LOL!) I'm off to lysol the house AGAIN!
