This weekend, I have realized the many blessings which are mine. The gospel, my Savior, my children, and my sweet husband.
This past weekend, I have been sick. I feel like I was was just beginning to get better and then I wore myself out. I spent a lot of time in the kitchen on Saturday bottling my last batch of salsa, and then taking care of kids...dinner, baths, bedtime. By the time I finally went to bed it was midnight. It may not seem so bad but when your getting over a sick bug, I've discovered it's not so good.
Sunday, I was pretty much down for the count. I felt like a train had hit me head on. My sweet husband, came to my rescue. He made me....and when I say made, I mean MADE me crawl into bed. He said he was going to take care of everything. I felt bad for being in bed when I heard him with the kids. With four kids, sometimes things can get a little crazy around here. He was trying his best to stay calm during those moments, and he did a much better job than I ever do!! He made and cleaned up breakfast, lunch and dinner. He even brought dinner in to me. He made sure that I wasn't disturbed when I had fallen asleep. He even kept coming in to see if I needed anything else.
I know that he has a lot on his plate when it comes to work, and he has been traveling a lot, so I know it was a huge sacrifice for him to be up and down all day with the kids. But I am so very thankful to him. He is MY knight in shining armor!

Oh man, I am so sorry. There is usually no time to be a sick mom. Good Job Kevin!!! I applaud you. Way to make her stay in bed, I'm sure that wasn't easy. I hope you are fully recovered & up & running again. You forget what a blessing it is to be healthy until you get knocked down hard.
