Thankful

Well another week has passed and I have had so many ups and downs. I spent Friday night at the ER with my 8 month old daughter Abigail. She had been running fever all that day and just so irritable. She didn't want to nurse and barely would take anything from a bottle. Her eye that evening started looking swollen and green stuff was coming out her eye and within an hour out the other eye. So I took her to the ER that night and was up there til 4:30am Saturday morning. She was diagnosed with an acute ear infection. I am thankful that she is getting better. It is so hard watching little ones be sick. I also had to do a reality check because I have been feeling so overwhelmed and actually kind of depressed. I took sometime Sunday evening for myself which I have not done in a couple years. I don't blame my kids for that I just wanted to be a great mom to them so I have spent most of my time with them. I have found out though I need time to myself and there is nothing wrong with that. I was feeling guilty for wanting that time to myself. I also took sometime to just remember what there is to be thankful for. I am thankful for my babies, my family, my friends, my professors, and even this blog where I seem to just speak what I am feeling. Any of you finding blogging like a stress reliever? Hope all had a great Memorial day and an awesome week.
