During the night on Wednesday, I knew Mike wasn’t sleeping well.  At 6AM Thursday morning, when we were both getting restless, I asked the question I dreaded the answer to, “How does your throat feel?”  Then a long pause… great!  I knew it!  My 12 hours of being pampered were over.  It’s been real… back to pushing through and sucking it up!

It took us ALL day long on Thursday to get Mike’s prescription ordered.  The doctor told me he would call something in if my husband got sick since my test came back positive.  However, I don’t think his answering service believed Mike when he called over and over again on Thursday.  I finally called and told them that we have babies to take care of and we need to schedule an appointment to speak to the doctor this afternoon about the level of care his staff is providing.  His nurse called back within 5 minutes saying she had called the prescription in, and it would be ready in 30 minutes.  Really?  Does it have to come to that? 

We were struggling.  Anyway, Mike went to get his prescription, and on his way home stopped to get us Sonic drinks.  He went through the drive-thru and when he pulled up to pay, the cashier said, “The car in front of you bought your drinks!”  Whoever that person is had no clue what we’d been through that day, both hurting and taking care of the girls, but they did a simple act of kindness that I’ll probably never forget all of my life.  $3, and I’ll never forget it.  It’s crazy what an impact something so small can have!  I bet that person was a believer because that’s what the body of Christ is all about to me, and I think that’s how the Spirit works to those who are in tune to being used.  When I feel a tug to do a random act of kindness, I don’t ignore it, that’s for sure.  Who knows?  It was perfect timing though.  Too perfect to be random.  We needed a pick me up, big time!

Noelle came home from school with a fever on Thursday as well but didn’t have any other symptoms except being extremely tired.  We kept her home from school today due to the wise counsel from a friend who said she has a fever for a reason, and her body is fighting something and we need to let her rest.  So that’s what we’re doing.  And then Rara got here, and the world is at peace… lol!  She was coming anyway to get her car fixed and help me consign the girls clothes this weekend, but she swooped in and made everything seem effortless.  I don’t know how she does it.  Mike and I had water and soup by our bedsides and the girls were asleep before I even looked up.  Amazing!  I hope I can swoop in a make everything better for my kids like that someday.  Practice makes perfect, right!?! 

Life doesn’t stop, so our bodies better snap out of it!  Hopefully the next post will be full of lots of fun pictures!   

This is Mike’s “I’m smiling because I love you but this is so dorky” face!  Lol!  He’s wearing “fuzzy wuzzy” (our blue Old Navy fleece) we’ve had since college.  We’ve had many discussions about getting rid of it, but we just can’t part with it!  We pull it out when we’re sick, and it makes everything comfy cozy!  (it’s so ghetto, though… you should see the fit – haha, all baggy mcgee!)  🙂
