Ok, no sleep and sick children. I will let you slid today.
BUT tomorrow that means you have to do double!
Try to have a good afternoon and get some rest tonight. Can't have mom getting sick!

can you put more of a positive spin on your "positives" for today?
I'm positive I am a great mom who is willing and able to care for the poor little ones who are filled with snot (ok that was my weird sense of humor creeping in)
I of course could come right back at you with a whole list of not so positive things I'm positive about...
how bout...something more like..I'm positive there are 14 days left til christmas and I'm almost done shopping? I think?
I dunno kitt...it's horrible when the kiddos are sick! blah! try to find something else to be positive about...hey maybe I'm postive that since the kids aren't feeling well they'll be in bed earlier and I can relax?
pam - thanks for letting me slide - it wasn't a good day yesterday, and it certainly is amazing how your whole world changes when you don't feel good
kaw - thank you for the reminders - i did ALOT of mothering yesterday - in fact, i just let the house go so that i could concentrate on mothering
lostlove - seriously, my positives from yesterday were my attempt at a little black humor, but it didn't go over well - this is part of mothering i don't really like - it's so hard to see your children suffer and there aint a damn thing you can do except to give them comfort.

POSITIVES
1) many calls yesterday from hubby checking in on kids and wondering if i was holding up - he came home and thanked me profusely for being there for the kids
2) i got to cook by myself last night - hehe - hubby and children enjoyed dinner
3) had an aha moment yesterday about the people i hang around (LOL) - and i am about to change that
*************************
children still sick, still lost alot of sleep last night, but i think that was the worst and we are on the road to recovery
you know, i used to think my mom was silly when she used to kiss me all over when i was sick and then she would tell me, "give me your sick - i want it right now" - well, i did the same to my daughter, i don't want her sick anymore - oh how generations remain the same eh?
Funny that you were talking about your H starting a homebased business. I just got some booklet in the mail the other day. Would like to do something at home and the course I'm taking now could help. Hope everything is better for you today!?
you know - sometimes i wish we had snow, and then i think, NAH!!!!
LOL
i am having a much better day, daughter and eldest step son are doing way better - but middle stepson is sick now - oh does it ever end???
ok - no time to list positives right now, but they are around, hubby and i had a great time tonight listening to 80's music and thinking about old times
