So as you may know if you read my blog, I have been a bit sick for the last month or so, and it seems it may be pretty serious shtuff. Anywhoozle, I had to go to the ER last night by ambulance and my kids were so so so scared. I told them I would be home soon and that it was just a cold and I would be fine. I come home early this am and I find the counter covered with "Get Well" cards they made for me. I can't upload them but they are super cute and funny.
My oldest child, 9, drew a huge American flag and put in the stripes: "Free Mommy from the Hospital" and on the bottom of the card she drew a can of Rockstar (my fave drink). In the inside of the card it says "I promise to not drink out of your coffee when you aren't looking when you come home"
My son, who's 8 wrote me a poem but then scribbled it all out and just drew a spaceship over it and wrote "Mommy, I will make my bed everyday if you come home and I promise not to take your change and gum in your purse anymore." I guess he thought I would like that more than the poem?
My 7 year old drew a dinosaur with a fork in his hand and wrote " I wish you were here and right be sight of me". In the dinosaurs mouth was me, apparently that's why I had to go to ER. (He told me that this morning when I asked him why he drew me being devoured by a T-Rex)
My 3 year old drew a circle with a gabillion arms and legs...and a whole bunch a scribble, but I knew what she was getting at
.
My 2 year old, well, he can't draw like the rest of em so he put a piece of his cake in the paper and crumpled it up into a big mushy mess and set it in the fridge right next to my coffee, I found it there this am.
I decided to share this is because as a Mother, there are a lot of days where I feel over-worked and under-appreciated (especially with five of these monsters); but this morning my hard work and long days were rewarded. In the end that's what being a parent is all about. Some days I feel like running away, giving up and throwing in the towel, but I wouldn't change all five of them for the world (no matter how crazy they make me).
I am still very sick, very tired and in a whole lot of pain... but for a few moments, while I was reading those cards, it all went away.
