Today is one of those, "I don't want to get out of bed and be a Mom," days. It's been building up since yesterday, mostly due to a lack of sleep. Nate was sick with the stomach flu yesterday and didn't go to work. Thankfully it was only a 24 hour bug and he's back to work today. We're praying Isaac and I can stay healthy, I think it's the same bug Caleb already had. Last night was not pleasant with Isaac. Let's just say there was alot of crying and not much sleeping. His teeth are in so maybe he's going thru a growth spurt and is more hungry. It didn't help that he woke up earlier than I expected this morning. It's amazing how a Mom's attitude affects the kids. I know I am being impatient and not acting like the adult-which Caleb picks up on quickly and is acting up more today. So I'm trying to ask God for help everytime I feel frustrated.
In some good news, our Christmas shopping is done! What a great feeling. Our youth group is wrapping presents tomorrow so no wrapping to do, even better!
My friend, Jenilyn, inspired me on her blog the other day to start running on the treadmill. Not that I ran that much! Mostly ran a minute, walked a minute, etc for 30 minutes. But, it's the most I've ran in a long time. Caleb was pretending to take pictures while I was running and was saying Mommy, smile! I replied, "I can't while running!" Shows you how much I love running.:)

Dad and I were just commenting on how grateful we are that you are not working outside the home AND trying to be a mom, when all of the sicknesses and frustrations happen!
Hope all of this passes soon. Love ya,
Mom and Dad
Sorry to hear you are feeling a bit down. I have the same feelings at times and it is amazing how the moms mood affects the whole family. Just hang in there and get some sleep and things will look better! Glad to be an inspiration! I don't smile when running either...just when I'm done!
Three cheers for supermom...you are amazing!
