The "Mother" of all Mother's Days.....
So I can laugh now... but it's funny after my "Supermom" post that the Orange Family got SMACKED with the stomach bug of all stomach bugs MOTHER'S DAY! Supermom who? What?
OHHH It was wretched! It was Hard! It was exhausting! Me and Gunner were 1st Saturday evening and I woke up Sunday morning with my "much better Gunner" in my face telling me "Jensie got poo poo diaper" I'm thinking.... get your Daddy to change her??? Gunner and Emmie both were in our room on the floor all night and I ended up getting up with Jensie waking up so I crawled in Emmie's bed at 6 am to sleep. I was so weak... couldn't hardly walk...but I crawled out of bed and stood at the top of the stairs looking down at my husband who was hunched over.... telling me Noah was in the bathroom... I look to see Emmie on the couch... Every couch was taken...I look at my 1 year old sitting at the top of the stairs next to me with a full diaper of pee and poop that was now leaking out all over her and the CARPET!!! So that was the first thing I did on Mother's Day was clean poop out of the carpet and clean up a messy baby. My 3 year old took care of my 1 year old because Nathan, Emmie and Noah were all on the couches. I was not sick anymore but soo weak...but guess what... that meant I HAD to take care of people all by myself.... I NEVER get sick! I mean really!! This has never happened all at once to our family. From what I hear and have seen, this bug takes out families!!! :( BUT we survived! Thank you Lord!
The song on here this time... makes me think of all the times I have told my Mama how happy I am... how blessed I feel and she always tells me "You're on the Mountain Top".... I know when I am on the mountain top and it feels incredible! Nothing gets me down... nothing seems too hard...nothing bothers me...everything seems perfect! I am thankful for the Mountain Top Moments in my life! But staring at my sick husband this Mother's Day weekend and 2 sick kids and one recovering and me sick... I felt LOW.... LOW in the Valley... It seemed so hard to even "be" alive... but I had to thank God that very day for my children and my life even if we were ALL SICK! I thank him for the Mountain and the Valley. If you are in the valley.... when you get back on top of the mountain...it will feel even more incredible than before! "No valley low enough" as the song says... for this Mama.... I gotta be there for my babies even when I am sick!!! I want to always be there for them...for their field trips and graduations and last baseball games and backyard moments and sick moments and "firsts" moments and quiet moments when they just look at you and "you know"...I want them to know I would do anything to get to them, to be there for them for as long as I am on this Earth...whether they are on the Mountain Top or in the Valley.... No Matter What! But I do prefer to be on the Mountain top! :)
