The house is quiet... the kids are in bed (finally)... Bjay is out with the guys for dinner and some bowling and I have spent the entire day sleeping, and being sick. Not fun when you can't even hold water down, and even worse my kids were on their own most of the day. Talk about feeling awful. Not that they didn't enjoy it, you should see my house right now. I was feeling really guilty about it so I said to them "I am so sorry you guys, I feel so bad"... and Peyton said "why do you feel bad mommy?" I told him that I felt horrible that I haven't been well and didn't get to spend any time with them today. Usually our Saturdays are filled with being out of the house at a playplace or just out and about doing something together. He looked at me and said "Don't worry about it mom. It is okay. I had lots of fun playing outside today and made a new friend". I thanked him for being so well behaved today and his response was "Sure mom, is that because I was outside playing and you got some peace and quiet?" How can a 7 year old be so wise!? And how is it that sometimes kids know exactly what you need to hear. We ended that talk with a big hug and an "I love you".
