6:45 a.m.
I was crying while telling a co-worker about our sad news. She too was crying... I felt so bad.
11:30 a.m.
I was angry because Luke was acting more sick and we needed to go back to the doctor for the 3rd time since Saturday. ugh.
1 p.m.
We were in the doctors office learning that like his brother, he may have pneumonia and will need a chest x-ray. Anyone who's witnessed their child have that, can only know how hard it is to handle. Poor Jack began to cry as he heard his brother wailing a few steps away. I stood there, holding him, looking to heaven, and begging that although God knows where my true limit is, I feel as though I have hit it days ago.
2:30 p.m.
Joe and I are running to get ready. Joe once again has come to my rescue and left work to help me with the kids. I am squeezing in my first shower in 2 days ( I know, ICK right.) and we have a prescription for the 3rd time in a month for Luke, who we have been told has bronchitis. Lovely.
5 p.m.
Joe and I are in a local church with co-workers. We are packing bags of food that will feed hungry children in Haiti and for the first time in a long time, I'm smiling more then I'm serious We are all dancing to songs like "girls just wanna have fun". It feels good and we have fun.
7 p.m.
I have just finished up dinner with the same people and have had 3/4 of a margarita. I am laughing to the point of tears at the fact that while telling the co-workers about Joe's laundry shrinking habits, I say that I'd rather he toss it (the shirt) in the dryer and "shake it up so it doesn't get too stiff" To which we (the whole group) look at each other and pull a "that's what she said"moment. I know, I know... we are soooo mature.
8 p.m.
We are home, Jack is happy and excited to see us before heading to bed. I am here sharing my heart and all I keep thinking is "what a day. what a wonderful roller coaster of a day" We had such a nice time tonight, We got to forget for just a little while that our hearts are hurting. We got to laugh and be together. It was wonderful.
*****I do fully realize now that the set up of this blog is similar to one I recently posted.... but it's my blog and I like it. ;0)

I like it, too! The blue is fun :)
I'm so glad that you had a "normal" day, and hope that your little guys feel better SOON. Like NOW.
I think it's inspiring and wonderful that you took time to help kids in Haiti right smack dab in the middle of your hurt.
Wishing you many more days filled with laughter and healing...and good health...
