Puke everywhere!!!!!

We are the house of sickies today. Last night the kids started throwing up around midnight and now here we are after 5:00 in the afternoon and they are still puking.

Every towel is soiled, sheets toast and pillowcases. I will be doing a trip to Wally-world for a new foam topper for our bed and new pillows.

I hope it is over soon!

 

While sitting on the toilet this morning I thought I should check the mail. I hoped there was a package or something to brighten my day. I sent up a little prayer for a pick me up, anything!

Maybe it wasn't even a prayer, it was more while I was talking to God, I just threw in "wouldn't it be nice to get a package" in the middle of whatever it was I was taking up with Him.

It may seem strange but I talk to God while I am on the can. It is quiet in there with the door closed, just seems to work for me.

The kids continued to throw up, and I continued to change towels and clothes and bathe them when there was a knock at the door. 

I had no bra on and was looking rather saggy and frumpy but opened the door anyway.( I did have a shirt on, tee-hee, I am not that freaky!)

There stood my aunt Deb and cousin Erika. I told them not to come in and kept them standing on my frigid front porch while I opened the package they brought.

I realized after I thanked them and closed the door that they were the answer to my tiny little flippant message to the Lord. I choked up. 

He knows me!

I guess that gifts are a little higher on my love language list than I put them, they are like little hugs that just keep hugging every time you  look at them.

Thank you Aunt Deb, you made my day in more ways than one, I love you!

I feel kinda sheepish admitting that gifts, little material things do such a thing for my soul but I guess that is just how I am wired.

 I am not writing this to say send me stuff, not at all, I am just really grateful for friends and love, love comes in so many ways and these cute little cups are overflowing with it today for me.

I may have read way too much into this but now you also understand when I give a gift it is a little package of love.....and I will have some to send out shortly, yeee-haw!

I love give aways and this one will be good, well I think so anyway.

Now off to do some laundry before the lil ones wake from their naps on the living room floor.
