Sophia is Sick

Well, as I said in a previous post, Zack's illness passed on to Sophia. The bummer is that it has hit Sophia much harder. My bouncy full of life girl is lethargic, feverish, and just plain old sick. Yesterday her fever had broken so I took the kids to McDonalds to eat and play. It only took about 10 minutes before she was just lying in my arms as the other kids played around her. If you know Sophia like I think you do, this is HIGHLY unusual.

She has been sleeping with me each night, and she keeps her precious little hot head on me at all times. She has become a little cuddle bug which has not been the case in the past! Last night I had a mommy moment as I looked down at her sleeping face, felt her hot head, and began to cry. I just feel so bad for her going through this. It is her first illness since she came home in April, and I'm acting like a first time mom, huh?

Anyhow, today is sure to be eventful. Steph is in the sky on her way to CA. Gina will soon be in the sky on her way to TX. We here in TX will be scurrying around to get the house cleaned up in time for the Christmas celebration on Tuesday.

Merry Christmas Season or as the schools out here taught Zack and Josh - Happy Holidays! Boy, do I hate that! It is Christmas for Pete's sake. I don't like that my kid has been trained to overlook that fact by celebrating the holidays rather than Christmas! What's next?

Thats ok, Mommy moments come along real regular. I remember my first few, it is hard to see them be sooo sick. I was glad to finally get through one cold without having to visit the doctor. That was a recent thing, about 2 months ago now. all the rest of this colds have had to have a dr visit involved due to ear infections. Hang in there Mommy, its so nice that they realize they can DEPEND on you even in sickness.
