What I Did....

Well, yes, I admitted it....I was very disappointed to have lost my "free" 4 hours. All turned out fine though. I did not take Peanut to the doc, because I kinda assumed he had a virus that its only symptom is a fever for a couple of days. His fever would go up a little and then go back down a little. He didn't want to play or eat or sometimes even drink....so we spent the morning together. Just me and my....no longer the youngest.....just me and my middle child! I let him cuddle with me. I didn't try to do anything else, because that would have been impossible. I had a shadow all day and if I did leave his sight, he'd fussy and cry. He even took a nap on the couch with me in the late morning. Peanut hasn't done that with me in probably 9 mos or maybe even a year.... I kept thinking...ya know...if he was at school...you wouldn't be having these precious moments with your cuddle bug! Who knows how much longer I can really call him my cuddle bug and once baby Bean comes along, who knows how much cuddling time I'll have for Peanut, so I enjoyed it, thanked God for this time and held him a little closer.

I'll still get that coveted free time to myself...may not be today or tomorrow or this month, but today- my precious littlest needs me!
