This past weekend I gave myself a timeout and went to "Timeout for Women" with my mom and sister and we even met my grandma there! It was so wonderful to spend a whole weekend with 3 of my favorite ladies! I thoroughly enjoyed all of the speakers. They spoke right to my heart and truly put things back into perspective. With 3 young kids it's easy to feel like all I do is my to do list. I do try to "pencil" in moments that matter with my kids. But this was a great reminder of not taking things for granted and enjoying the moments, no matter what those moments may be.
Today I was welcomed home to Macie having the stomach flu. I literally ran her to the bathroom at least 15-18 times today. She was in a very lovely whiney mood because she felt miserable, and I can't say I blame her. Ty welcomed me home by being extra irritable, crying and whining at everything and everyone. I took him to the doctor and found out he had a "horrific" ear infection and currently has 4 molars trying to pop through too. Oh joy! Amid all the whininess and sickness, I managed to clean the house and make dinner, play a board game with Tate, sit and hold Macie during her favorite show (because really that's all kids want when they are sick), kiss Ty a million times because I felt so bad he had suffered through an ear infection this long. Oh ya, a couple of times Tate and I turned up the music and danced. It felt good. It felt good to have a "typical" day and to see it with a new perspective. Even though it was just ordinary. I'm grateful for the ordinary days.

The sad part is Ty has been on an antibiotic for 3 or 4 days now, and he's still being a stink! I think he may have hit his terrible two's about a year too early!!
