I had meant to blog regularly about the things going on in my life. Especially since I'm so excited about the new things happening.
However, life rarely goes as planned. Khloe spent a night in the hospital two
weeks ago due to some nasty croup. About 4 days after she had seemed back to normal she started with a fever, and two days later her mouth, throat and hands were covered in blisters. Coxsackievirus. And now Korinne has it. I don't remember the last time I slept more then 3 hours at a time, I'm one tired mama! So while we all recover I'll put a hold on sharing all the awesome new things in my life.
However, last night as I was fighting through exhaustion to get up yet again with my little peanut, I realized that this too shall pass. How thankful I am for that! I can't imagine being a parent of a chronically or terminally ill child, when sleep deprivation might be the norm. So, in my bleary-eyed state I made some time to say a prayer for those amazing parents and their beautiful children. And I leave you with this:
"Let us all be thankful for today, for if we did not learn a lot, at least we learnt a little. And if we did not learn a little, at least we did not become ill. And if we became ill, at least we did not die. So let us all be thankful." - Buddha
