I’m supposed to be writing my Frozen Moments post, that or a slew of other posts that are waiting to be written, like Mama Style for Valentine’s Day to go along with our Mini Style post, etc… but this weekend, just before boarding a flight alone with my darling littlest I realized I’d caught a bug from my middle guy and it wasn’t pretty. I haven’t been sick like that in awhile and all this stuff that’s been going around had me sanitizing my house, again. So while Skylar slept on me in flight, I tried to sleep as well. And when I had a little time before sliding into heels and slapping on a smile for my work here in Philadelphia, I tried to sleep as much as my little one would allow. So instead of the usual portrait of my children, I’m remembering these moments with my boys… the day full of cuddles with my older boy. The day he stayed home from school sick and I had a flight out that night. The day he loved me and I loved him right back. The day he passed me the stomach bug.
And the next day when I slept in my hotel room, trying to avoid the inevitable contact with my baby boy though I loved how much he tried to make me feel better.
Now that everyone is feeling much better, I’m going to play a little catch up when I get the chance… and dream about these two boys and my girl that I miss while away. I’ll get a good cuddle in with her upon my return home, and no one will be trying to feel better this time, we’ll just all be better, together

I have no idea how my children escaped whatever bug hell spat out upon me in late December to January. 3 weeks of just please save yourselves and let it take me.
I almost felt like they were all strangers when I finally rejoined the living and healthy. But it is nice to have a chance to miss them. And to come back to cuddles and kisses and knowing that their world is right again because mommy has returned to them. It’s nice to know love always waits for you, right?

So glad it skipped your kiddos, and that ours didn’t last too long… it’s not easy when you’re a mama, there’s no time to really slow down! Glad you’re better now too 🙂 And so glad their love waits for me!
