The world of Controlled Chaos

The last week has been superiorly challenging.  I have been stressed out to the max, why you ask? Well I have had the flu here in our home this week, and it really had me thinking I need to appreciate my faith more. having five kids with fevers has not been the easiest task at hand that I have solely wanted to take on by myself. I am an easy going person, and a loving mommy who can take alot. I just do not deal well with crying, whining, whimpering, and last but not least yelling from pain. What do you do but close your ears off, especially when you have done all that you can do.  I just realize that if you give them the love, comfort, and  the prayers to help them,  as well as the knowledge to give them the best care ever.

I am increasingly happy today though, I am down to only one child with a fever. which actually does not surprise me because his immune system is alot like mine. it does what is needed but you still catch everything under the sun. Since there is only one fever left in the house, majority of the kids are back to school "thank goodness". I really thought I was going to go bonkers, because of all the sickness drama.  Now I can manage on getting my house back in order (cleaned) to its original state. Because mommies house is suffering. lol .   Now all we have to do is disinfect our house, so the germs do not come back O happy day that will be. 

I think that with everything the kids have dealt with this week, it makes me realize I do a better job than I give myself credit for. I am always thinking I suck being a full time mommy, but then I look at the smiles that emerge from under the feverish faces, and realize I provided them those smiles. It feels wonderful that I have finally became that mom, whom cares whole heartedly for her kids rather than run to a doctor to make it easier. Although don't get me wrong I totally would have taken the kids if they didn't get better.  I just did what a mother knows best.  I am blessed.
