San Antonio TX, last Spring '09
I've felt overwhelmed with places to go and things to do lately, but now that I have to change plans to care for one who needs to be home I see that the world keeps spinning without me! How distracted I must get to think that I have so little time to be nurturing, going slowly, and observing the kids I love. When they are sick, I see better that I can be home with them and give in to their longings for drinks in bed and an extra story without feeling like I have to do this or that; because the job I have to do more than any other is take care of the children who I mother.

That is why I quit working when I had little kids. I decided it was wrong, no matter how badly we needed the money, to make my kids feel bad or me guilty that I had other, more important things to do. It was great when I no longer worked and my daughter got sick. I just sat with her on the couch, not feeling guilty that I had to tell my boss that motherhood came first.
That is so true. My kids have been sick with the flu lately too, and I love cuddling with them. Not that I would wish them sick, but it is a nice break from the day to day rush.
Yeah, I heard SLC was hit pretty hard with the swine flu. It is just heading our way. 30+ kids at the Jr. High. So far, mine seem healthy. With Dallin's Asthma, I'm a bit worried about him. I guess I'll just have to sit and wait and make my kids wash their hands and take vit C constantly:)
