Nurses, Chef's and Tornados! (an archive)

A headache just isn't a headache until you get the full nursing effect from your children. Personally I think its adorable that they come in and wake me up 50 times to ask me if I am okay. I think the way they get 2 inches from my face and in a whisper (that is more of a creepy low voice), to say.. "Mommy...Mommy...Mommy...Mommy....are you awake..."?.. is just enough cuteness to make you want to stick a hot poker in your eye. Uhhhh... too much cuteness for you too? Bryanna brought me a glass of orange juice, Lauren brought me some ice water and Rylie brought me a half empty Capri Sun. She said she got soooo thirsty from the kitchen to my room. The funny thing was, when I would pack Bryanna her lunch when she was younger, I had this fun little thing I did. I would take a bite of her PB&J so she would think of me at lunch time. She would say so cutely...."Mommy.. did you get hungry when you were making my lunch"? It's even more adorable now that she is "older", she likes to make her own lunch, and she will get her sisters theirs sometimes too... she always takes a bite out of their sandwiches. I thought it was precious.... Lauren on the other hand was disgusted that someone would give her their half eaten food. She is too serious sometimes (she is the sane one of the family). If she can't research it and prove her point, it's just wrong! So today was a try to rest with a headache kind of day that ultimately ended up giving me more of a pounding-eyes popping out of your head-ready to explode kind of day all the while trying to reassure the girls I felt so much better because of them. The real fun began when I crawled out of bed after my 5 hour downtime to find that not only did they cook dinner, they surprised me with company! Yes... a hurricane, tornado and storm came to visit. Wasn't that sweet? So.... the headache is gone but I believe a new one is forming. NURSE!!!
