This too shall pass, I trust that it will.


It has been so long since I blogged last.
It has been a crazy 2 weeks.

I have a sick little girl (Charlotte) and a very demanding little girl (Chloe).
Also the two boys that I babysit during the week have been sick since Monday.
 This flu/virus going around is awful!

Chloe was kinda sick two weeks ago and now Charlotte is really sick.
Poor wee thing has no energy, can't eat and is quite tired.

It is so hard to watch your children get sick.
Their little eyes staring up at you, all glassy and wet.
Always just on the cusp of tears.
It breaks my hears to see her so lethargic and down.

She seems to be on the tail end of her sickness.
I can see the light.
Their are the beginnings of my vivacious Charlotte coming back.
And I can' wait.
I am exhausted.
I am truly lucky that I have stayed healthy all through this week, because even at 100% ,
this is a demanding job!

 
The problem is that Charlotte needs my extra attention and Chloe simply wants it.

Chloe has always had a jealous streak in her (especially when it come to my attention) and Charlotte has never really demanding much of anyone. She is so laid back.
So to have her sick is tough becasue she needs me more and her sister gets jealous.

But this to shall pass and we will all go back to being the way it was before.

Hopefully next week we can go back to our own special 'normal'!

I wish you all a wonderful weekend!

I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. 
I just wish that He didn't trust me so much.

Much love,
