My first challenge of being a work out of the home mom

My job could not be going any better. I am so blessed. For the past few months, I have been praying for God to use me in his ministry and for me to draw closer to God. It is an amazing experience each and every day. I never know what will come across my desk each day, but I do know I will end each day being blessed. I have shed many tears at my desk but not because of being sad. It is because I have been moved by the Holy Spirit.

With all of that being said, I am sad tonight. My sweet L is sick. She has had such a terrific summer. We were able to get her off all her meds but now it is all came back to haunt us. Her eyes are swollen, she can’t breathe good and she is just fatigued. I don’t believe she will be able to go to school tomorrow and I can’t miss work. I have two meetings at work tomorrow that I need to be there for, but all I want to do is just cuddle my sweet L and get her better. Oh my heart. Mommy has always been the one there for her, stayed home with her when she was sick and met her every need. Now, my husband will stand up to the plate and take on my role. This is hard to gulp.

Even though a sadness is creeping into my heart, I am thankful that my husband can be with her. I know it is the new norm and eventually my heart will get adjusted but for right now, it is sad.

Moms deal with this every single day right? Husbands always stand up and take on this challenge. They don’t skip a beat. It is fine for mom and dad to share the sick duty. We still will give lots of cuddles and be there for our sweet princess.

For now, I am going to remember this super fun day back in July at Disney World.
