One Tired Mama

When Kevin travels, I get wiped out. I can't seem to settle down at night (that's why I'm up to date of these blog posts all of a sudden!) and I stay up way too late. Then, I go all day and it compounds itself. Well, to top it off this week, Little Brother got a double ear infection and a sinus infection. He stayed home from school 2 days and was pretty miserable.

Finally, he was on the mend and the boys begged me to take them to the school to go sledding. My first reaction (in my head) was "NO WAY! DO YOU KNOW HOW TIRED MOMMY IS?" But, I was able to supress my will and we piled on the clothes, packed up the car and headed out.

This was Little Brother's moping to get me to help him carry his tube back up the hill. It worked.

(Big Brother just got this "mohawk" hat. I think it's pretty cute!)

It was a lot of climbing up and down hills. It was a lot of wet clothes to take care of when we go home, but it was well worth the happy smiles and good memories with the boys. And you know, I wasn't so tired once we got out in the fresh cold air! I'm thankful for these moments in motherhood when God helps me get it right.
