Team Ostler: A Moment of Quiet

A Moment of Quiet

I am finding myself in very unusual territory right now. Luke is sleeping and I walked into Ben's room and found this. He had fallen asleep on his floor. For the last 7 days I have been taking care of sick kids with the stomach flu that just doesn't want to go away. I got sick myself last week but luckily it only lasted a few hours and then I was back to normal - because moms just can't get sick - right! I probably should be doing something a little more productive with this time like reading my scriptures, writing in my journal, cleaning the house, organizing, folding laundry, planning a lesson for FHE, catching up on phone calls, exercising, or working on home made halloween costumes but instead I think I will just waste a little bit of time on the computer. There are some days when I just don't want to be a responsible adult. I would just like to going back to being a kid when all I had to worry about was which toys I would play with or whether or not I would have lucky charms or fruit loops. Life was so much more simple back then. In case you can't tell my brain is a little fried right now and I am slightly exhausted so please forgive my ramblings. I think I will just bag everything else I was going to do and take a nap and dream of the time when life was so easy and care free. Sweet dreams!

UPDATE: No nap for me, 5 minutes after I posted this Luke woke up, and then Jimmy came home from school sick with the stomach flu. He was the last one to not be sick, but I guess it was to good to be true.

Kristin: ahhhhg! Megan I hope that one of these day this week you can have a"normal" day, and maybe just maybe get a nap too :); October 21, 2008 at 12:54 AM
Cameron, Shannon Voge: Awww, poor Megan! Seven days of sickness huh? That's a long time! You're definitely mom of the year. That's how it always happens though, whenever I choose to blog instead of do things I should be doing, Sydnee always wakes up right when I'm done blogging and decide to lay down for a few minutes! Being a mom is hard work sometimes... our kids def. have it easy! Hope the boys feel better soon.; October 21, 2008 at 8:07 PM
Doin' It Digital (Shannon C.): I HATE the throw ups - so sorry! Hang in there. Aaaa.; October 25, 2008 at 12:16 AM

We were at church and during the sacrament I was talking to Luke about Jesus. I told him that Jesus bled and died for us. Luke looked at me with a very concerned look and said, "Did Heavenly Father give Jesus a band-aid when he was bleeding?"

We were about to walk out the door so I told Luke to go potty. He came out of the bathroom saying, "I can't go! The batteries in my pee pee are dead!"

After Ben finished a big meal he said, "my tummy is so big and full I look like Grandpa now!" (sorry dad).

Ben pointed to a picture of the prophet and said, "That's President Monckley!"

We have a saying in our house. It's "you get what you get and you don't throw a fit!" But Ben has his own version of this. He says "you get what you WANT and you don't throw a fit!"

Jimmy said that he is allergic to babies. I asked him how he knew and he said that he gets sick when he smells them.

Ben asked me for another piece of halloween candy and I said, "Mommy is ready for the halloween candy to be gone" and Ben said, "Yea, gone in my mouth!"

We were driving past the gas station sign and Ben said, "I see a lowercase 5 on that sign."

I was talking to Jimmy about election day and asking him if his teacher voted and he said that she was "absent" that day. (I finally realized what he meant. She had just mailed in an absentee ballot.)

Ben put a whole bunch of toilet paper in the garbage and I told him that is a no, no. He said, "no it's a yes, yes!"

I tell Jimmy on a regular basis that needs to talk nicely. He yelled something across the room to me and I gave him the look that said I didn't like the tone of his voice and he said, "I was yelling nicely!"

Jimmy and I are listening to "Give Said the Little Stream" and Jimmy says "How does it talk?" I said "How does what talk?" He said, "The stream, it doesn't have a mouth, how can it talk?"
