Mother's Day 2011

The week leading up to Mother's Day was tiring. Sam's ear infection came back and had to be on antibiotics again and Lara had a mysterious illness. She had a temperature on Monday night and kept crying but couldn't tell us what was wrong. Tuesday morning Lara was lathergic and didn't want to go to daycare but by Tuesday lunch time she was as well as if nothing had ever happened. I stayed at home with the kids and didn't go to work on Tuesday. For some reason, Lara was not well on Friday night either, getting up crying every couple of hours, still couldn't tell us what was wrong, sometimes she said she had nightmares, other times headaches. It was Samuel's turn to get up on Saturday night crying at 1am and 4am. We had a family gathering on Saturday but I really didn't want to do anything else just sleep and rest. The best part about Mother's day was that I got a good sleep in. We took the kids to the park after lunch and enjoyed the sun (& vitamin D) for an hour. I felt more alive after that.
