Today I turned 38

Today is my 38th birthday. I had a good inkling yesterday was going to be full of unhealthy children. But I went to sleep hoping a good night sleep would fix everyone. My inclination was correct. Instead of Sunday school Max went to urgent care with David. He was diagnosed with double ear infections.

I knew Ellie had a sore throat but I encourage her to keep going. Usually she can fight them with some herbs and vitamin C. 

I thought Clair was really fine. While Ellie went to Sunday school Claire took me to Starbucks for coffee. We had an okay morning. She is good company with her smiles and adoration she shows her mother.

When we got home everybody had an early lunch in early nap. I knew Claire needed to go to bed but I thought she was just tired from skipping her morning nap. 

I'm came over around three to bring my favorite strawberry shortcake. We had a nice chat and went to get Clara. I found her with the Rosiest cheeks And running a nice high fever. So, after briefly opening presents with the family and my mom. It was off the urgent care we went , instead of out for the nice lovely family dinner that was planned. 

By the time Claire was seen she was running a fever of 103°. Poor little thing was so miserable, she actually fell asleep on me while waiting for the doctor. After we finally saw the doctor, she was also diagnosed with double your infection.

So, that's four infected ears for my birthday. I really hate when my kids are sick. I spent most of the day taking care of someone else, like I do most days as a mother. It I okay though because the three best gifts I was ever given are my children.  I've wanted them since I can remember. I am thankful for them everyday, especially my brith day, even when they are sick and make me work extra hard and miss my birthday dinner :)

For the rest of my life, I will be someone's mother!!!!  I'm so greatful.
