There have been many times when my plans for the day are interrupted. Even though I consider myself a list maker and plan my days around the boys schedule. I am not an hour by hour planner. So, last Tuesday night when Easton started running a fever, I had to keep him home from his preschool Christmas party and church. He just laid around all day Wednesday - not normal for a 3 year little boy. So, Thursday we headed to the doctor - Results - "Flu patient # 1". Friday, when Haydn got home, he was complaining about being really tired, this was followed by fever & throwing up. So, no church for us on Sunday and I took Haydn to the doctor on Monday, they tested him for the flu, he was negative, but they gave him Tami flu anyways. In the meantime, I thought I had another sinus infection, so I went to the Dr. Monday also - Results - "Flu patient #2". David went Tuesday to get tested and he was also negative, but they gave him the medicine anyways. I would love for someone to explain to me why 2 people who tested negative for the flu and 2 peoples who tested positive for the flu - Both have the same medicine. I could of saved ALOT of money on co-pays & Rx's if they have given the whole family doses when I took Easton. So $395.00 later we are all on Tami flu. Easton is done and better. I am just tired and stopped up a little. Haydn is bored and David is tired but not from the flu - he has been working 10-12 hours days since last Thursday.
I can tell you these past 5 days I have done alot of praying, alot of crying and yes my share of whining. It's no fun being sick when you have to take care of 2 sick children who constantly want to cling to you. I love them, but after 5 days - we need some time apart! This is so not the way we wanted to start our Christmas Break. But I say all of this to say that God is in Control. No matter how many list or plans I make, it can all be changed in a second.
We did get out tonight and rode around looking at Christmas lights - it amazing me how many people just don't decorate anymore. We rode by a house with a beautiful manager scene and I asked Easton, "What is that?" and he replied, "Wise Men" and I was like, "What else?" and he said, "1 Joseph, 1 Mary" and I said "What about the baby?" and he said, "That's Baby Jesus." Do you know how proud my heart was to hear my 3 year old saying those words and knows the meaning of Christmas - BEYOND WORDS! and to have my older son, Haydn (9) have come forward in the month of December to accept Christ as his Savior. Those are the real meaning of Christmas and they make the Upside -Down Days not so bad anymore!
Wishing you and your families a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
