Wednesdays are our busy days. Typically, I begin my Wednesday the day before. I prepare my portion of our Wednesday night dinner at church, I plan our lunch, and I set out all the clothing and items we will need for the next day.
The boys usually get up around 8am and we eat a quick but hearty- oatmeal or an egg casserole- breakfast before we leave the house at 9:15. We have Home school Co-op on Wednesdays and I help teach a math class. Co-op usually ends around 1:45 and we either run errands, spend some down time at a park or church, and wait for church activities that evening. Because we live about 30 minutes from town, we do not come home between co-op and church.
We eat dinner at church and then have our Wednesday night bible studies. Big M is in "Gopher Buddies" and is very proud of his accomplishments. After church, we head home and both boys are usually asleep before we make it home.
Wednesday is our busiest day of the week!
Well, this week there has been some sickness going around our family. Little M had dealt with it this weekend and has been overcoming it. It hit Big M hard last night.
Six times I went into his room between 11-2:30. His throat really hurt him. Being in that much pain is not typical for our family. Sadness for my baby who was in pain, but gratitude to the Lord for allowing me the opportunity to minister to his physical needs were the conflicting emotions I have been feeling.
So today, we have cancelled everything and this is a sick day. We are going to watch movies, rest on the couch, read books, and drink hot tea with local honey, and pray that the Lord heals our family without the need of doctors or prescription medication.

Chicken vegetable soup is on the stove and I am ready to do some cuddling with my babies, catch up on some laundry, and "enjoy" this special time the Lord has given us to just rest.
And he said, “My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” Exodus 33:14
I love sick days (depending on the sickness). My babies snuggle and cuddle more. It definitely helps me to savor the moment and remember how fast they are growing. Hope you little ones get better soon!
ReplyDeleteThank you Amy! Having boys especially, I have learned to take whatever cuddling I can.
