I'm sorry! I know there are times when I feel like every "holiday" Jamie gets just means more "work" for me! Keep your chin up (and a barf bag close by).
Big hugs, and hope your Turkey Break gets better for you.
Thanksgiving, 1976. You and Kim got sick from the baked beans at Grandma Simmons house. I put on a big beach towel, and held you both in the orange-flowered rocking chair upstairs while you each puked up baked bean-stuff...ALL NIGHT LONG. Your dad ended up washing every bedsheet and pair of pajamas in the house. This too shall pass.
Just like Sheila, every mother goes through this. Right now we are nursing Cora (granddaughter) through a case of bronchiolitis which included a hospitalization. Ann was relating a story to us once which began, "You know how on Christmas when you are throwing up?" At the time she didn't realize that not everyone spent their holidays at the porcelin throne.
It will get better. Then you will have grandchildren, and it will all start over again.
I am a Christian, wife and mother to four kids. I love fancy coffee, Pepsi and baked goods. I also love to do crafty things. My current project is quilting, but I'm also dabbling in making other baby items!
I'm married to Jim and we have four kidlets. Evan (11), Aidan (8), Toby (6) and the pink caboose is Avery who is four.
