That time of year...

Cooties. It never fails that as the temperature changes, I somehow manage to get some cooties! As if it hasn't been busy or stressful enough in the past few weeks, I've managed to not just catch a cold, but get the flu! I thought I wasn't feeling well last week... then I felt a little better and decided it was just a cold or some sinus. This morning, however, I woke up and felt like a bus had run over me and barely made it into the bathroom before I got sick. I don't get sick well. For some reason, I always feel like I'm going to pass out... So, who do I yell for? Landen! Poor little guy came running and said, "what do you need mommy? you got a bellyache?" :) Ah, if he only knew that my insides felt like they were coming out. I just asked him to keep an eye on Graden because that little monster is fast! :)

I've mentioned before about Landen my caregiver. Maybe this will make it even more true... Before he could watch Graden, he must have decided to take care of me! He actually reached into the shower (he has a little shelf with toys and he keeps a washcloth in there) and grabbed his washcloth. He went into his room and got his step-stool. He got the washcloth wet (soaking wet mind you - because he didn't know to squeeze some out first!) and put it on my head!! Precious. Of course, it was freezing and I was soaked, but it totally made me feel better!

I'm feeling a little better now, but I'm about ready to get rid of my cooties! I've got so many things going on, that I must be a little run -down too because I just now (at 4 pm) got out of bed. Colds are one thing, heaving is another! Hopefully your families stay healthy...

Awwwww... my eyes started to well up with tears reading about little Landen putting a sopping wet washcloth on your head. That kid is precious :)
