This is such a sad picture. This is what our nightly routine looks like when you have three sick kids.

Today I took Shade and Aynslee to the doctor and found out that Ayns has a double ear infection and Shade has one in one ear. Jax was sick all last week and I was sick this week with Shade and Aynslee. Our home has been utter chaos. There is nothing like a home with a sick mom and three kids. I am not trying to get any sympathy, I just had to put that out there for the rest of this blog. Yesterday Jax for some odd reason got a parenting book out and wanted me to read it to him. I was ok with that because A) it can only make him smarter and B) I needed to know a few things myself. After we were done looking through it he asked me if that was how I got to be such a smart mom and if that is where I found out how to take care of them when they are sick. I was first really excited that he called me smart and that he does realize that I work hard to make them feel better. I thought about it and was going to say yes, I love those books, but the more I thought I realized that I had in fact learned a lot from those great "how to" books, but I learned most everything from the million trillion phone calls to my mom and Zachs mom Sue. I call them all the time with weird questions. I know they probably think I am crazy and that I need to raise my own kids, they already raised theirs. I have to just let our moms know how great you are. Thank you for all the support and love that you give to a learning mom like me. Thanks for listening and still taking care of us. Thanks for taking care of me and my babies when they are born. I hope and pray that one day I can as great of a mom to my kids as you both are to me!!! We love you!!!
