Much better

I didn't get much sleep last night, because I was up late talking to Travis about the things in my previous post.  Apparently, airing all that out made me feel a lot better because today was a much better day, even though I spent the majority of the day with a crying Audrey on my lap.  Her ear infection got worse last night instead of better, so I stayed home with her today.  Emily went to daycare for the morning, so I had a nice morning snuggling my baby, which I hadn't realized was so much rarer than when Emily was that small!!   I picked her up after lunch, and Audrey slept most of the afternoon, Emily and I snuggled and dozed together, and we spent the rest of the day happy.

Emily made a "bed" for me tonight - blankets and a pillow on the couch.  I was rocking Audrey at the time, though, so Emily tucked her dad in.  She was soooo sweet.  She got him a blanket "case you get cold," turned on the fan "case you get hot," then gave him a big smooch on his forehead.  Then she went over and picked out two books, and brought them over to the edge of the couch and read to him.  And I got to sit back and just watch, because Audrey was asleep in my lap by then.  It was a wonderful moment.

See?  I had my wig-out moment, and now I'm back in the game.  I love, love, love my family.
