I knew that I would be alone today as Ben has to work on Sundays. That day starts off great. The kids sleep in and I walk downstairs to find chocolates and cards on the table. I then remember that I planned on getting up early to start the roast in the crockpot. I sure hope it gets done in time. Bodin and McKinna come down a little later and give me their cards. I open McKinna's and it sings "Like a bird I sing". This is her favorite song and soooo perfect coming from her. Bodin gives me his. (After he bought it he told me it was a Batman card. He then kept asking if I really want a Superhero card). I open it and it is Snoopy singing to me. It says that he is singing the Mom-Bo. A perfect card from him and he thought he was hilarious making me think it was Batman. Onto eating the chocolates for breakfast. I guess I should get McKade out of bed. Nasty, he has peed all over his bed. To the tub we go and then to start laundry and bleaching his mattress.
At about 8:30 I get a phone call from my friend Natalie. She is at the hospital in labor and wants to know if I can watch her kids. Her son got heat exhasution while they went out boating yesterday. (HMMM, I can't figure out why she is in labor a month early). Okay, send them over. About an hour later I walk downstairs to find puke all over my floor. I have the talk with her son that we puke in the toilet. He also has a temp of 101.5. This is not heat exhaustion, he has the flu. He is sentenced to the couch and is not allowed to leave except to puke in the toilet. I have been bleaching my entire house all day and watching a sick kid. If you are thinking about having children this is a typical Mothers' Day. I am praying that my kids don't get sick and I can have my house ready for company tonight. Her son will then be sentenced to a bedroom laying on his blanket. He needs a nap anyway:). Just a head's up Sonia, I am going to your cabin next year on Mother's Day. Invited or not! Hee Hee.
I do love my children though and am so thankful that I have them to celebrate Mother's Day with. They are my life!!

Poor Shani...I HATE Mother's Day! I complain how much I hate it every year...because being stuck in your house on a Sunday while still doing all your motherly duties...is NOT a holiday..lol! That is why I decided to head to the cabin with my mom and sisters...you are more than welcome next year. I plan on making it a yearly tradition! Hope you don't get the flu....yuck!
Well, as bad as that was, it sounds much better than my mother's Day! Ask me and I'll tell you, otherwise I can't post it! Love you!
I'm sooooo sorry!!!
