All In One Day

I started my day around 5:30am. Perry left for the gym and Spencer was unbearably hungry for some reason. So I grabbed a nice warm bottle with the intention of feeding him and putting him back to bed. Before you knew it Tyler comes running out to play with his firetruck at 6:ooam which woke up Trevor, so you can do the math. It was a bright and early start.
It wasnt until around breakfast time that I discovered how much pain I was really in. Doctor told me to prepare to feel at its worst by mid week. I didnt believe him till now. It felt like every muscle in my body weighed 50lbs. Doing something as simple as changing a diaper became a huge workout. As I fell to the floor in tears I felt so alone. Perry being gone at the gym and the kids were screaming for food. Then I see my little 4 year old Tyler come running into my lap with a big hug. He said Mommy I'm supposed to be a leader when I see someone crying. Im Love you even when youre sick.
It gave me a new strength.I told myself I will not let this get me down.With a pounding headache, sore muscles, upset tummy and more....I proceeded with my day as normal as I could for being hypothyroid. I didnt want to just sit around and feel sorry for myself. I wanted to be strong for my kids. My Mom came over and gave me a power nap and then I was on my way. Here was my day. My mom offered to stay but I wanted to get out. Im grateful to have been busy.
My poor baby had his 6 months shots and plus his second flue shot ( we are playing catch up). He was not a happy camper! A little TLC went a long way though.
After nap time we headed off to the park. Tyler and Trevor are becoming quit the little buddies. We all needed some fresh air and it was like 57 degrees here... I can't just stay inside when its like spring here. After some fun at the park we headed to wal-mart to get some comfort medicine for me. The kids were well behaved and knew I wasnt feeling quit up to par. Perry had to work late so dinner was in my hands and we did pretty well. We all helped out and remained calm.
Trevor has been potty training all week. That little bugger. Of all weeks why did it have to be this one. He is really enjoying being a big boy like his brother, as for me I was annoyed that he wouldnt let it rest for just this week. I took away the undies and tried to not bring it up. I needed a brake, but apparently he was darn stubborn about it and very motivated. He would push and beat at the door all evening screaming " Poo...Poo pweees" Bless his heart I couldnt bear to watch me take this away from him so I jumped back on the "Potty Train" with him.
I just kept my spirits up no matter how bad I felt and took all their sweet energy and let it be a source of strength for me that night. The busier we were the faster the night would go right! I feed Spencer in the bathroom right next to Trevor. I guess we're on this train for good. A lesson Trevor taught me with his perseverance. An awesome trait we both share together.

My family is the best medicine for me when I am down and out. Their love, energy, and spirit helps keep me alive and focused. Once all kids were in bed I sat down with a nice bowl of ice cream, took some pain medicine...... and stared at these beautiful flowers my husband surprised me with early during the day. Even though he had to work late those flowers kept me strong and motivated. Anytime I felt lonely I would look over at these flowers and be reminded of the unconditional love Perry and I for one and another. We've been down this road many times with this cancer but this time around had by far been the most rewarding experience in my marriage and my Motherhood. I am grateful for the Lords hands in all I do....even if its "All In One Day"
