Organization, little bug, and business

Oh, my life all rolled into one ball. That ball, my brain. I seem to get great ideas for multiple things all at once. Therefore, it tends to feel like my brain is rolling in a dozen directions. So sometimes I just have to put it on hold. And sometimes, life just puts it on hold for me.

My sweet pea was ill this week. Oh, it was not fun! I can handle spit up. I can handle poop. I can even handle messy, wet cookies and bread at dinner time...but vomit and diarrea-I almost couldn't do it...until I looked at my little girl and she just gave me those eyes, of "help me mommy". And I just sucked it up and made it all better. I know that this is probably 'tmi' for most people without kids, but those of you who have kids, read on. Those who don't read on anyway....it'll open your eyes to what having kids really means....kindof like getting married, good times and the bad.

So, this morning, after 2 nights of no sleep for me and Anna, I had finally had only 2 interruptions. Anna's fever had broke around 9:30pm the night before, so things were looking better. I heard her peep this morning at 7:34am...I waited to see if she was really up. She started moaning. I jumped up out of bed and ran to see what had made her upset, as she generally is quite the excited little girl at the rising of the sun.

And ohhhh was there something bothering her. Her torso was covered in poop....there was poop down the front of her pants and of course all over her sheets and blankies. And I'd just woke up! But there was no doubt that it was poop. I, of course got right to work cleaning it up, like any of us mommies would do. She laid on the change table whimpering, then in 2 inches of warm water in the tub crying. But once she was clean and wrapped in a towel, she laid on my bed as I dressed her and sucked her thumb. All happy or at least content. It was quite the clean up, some of which I left in the laundry basket at the top of the stairs to let Daddy get a bit of the real effect when I told the story later on.

See it wasn't so bad to read....I left out more of the details for you non-kid readers. Seriously though, as I sat there and feed her after the morning ordeal, I realized that I'd do anything for this little ball of fire, even though her flame has been a little dim these last few days.

My wonderful mother in law came over this afternoon and helped me get my house back in order...she insisted. So I let her. Oh and dinner was good. And I actually got to sit down and rest a bit.

So that takes care of the little bug part. And the others...organization and business...well I guess all you get to know is it's in the ball in my head, and that eventually you'll hear all about it...once I sort it all out! Ahhh!

To love, laughter and all that life throws...good night!
