A Mother's Day that Never Ends in more ways than one!!!
This weekend was amazingly good, with a touch of bad mixed in. I'll start with the bad, so that I can end with the good, good, and even better! Samuel got hit with a TERRIBLE stomach bug on Saturday morning. I thought it was just a "hit and miss" thing because sometimes something will make him gag and he will throw up, but he had some terrible episodes. He also didn't have any other symptoms, and as soon as he was done, he would be smiling again! Then on Sunday I thought he was better so I took him to church, but when I got home and put him down for nap, he threw up again! Thankfully, yesterday he only got sick a total of 2 times and one of them was just a tiny bit, and they were over by the late afternoon. He ate well for dinner and kept it down all night long! I believe we are on the homestretch now, but I was really concerned. Samuel has never continuously thrown up before and I just felt so helpless.
On Saturday am Bob, Samantha, Samuel, and I went to some community yard sales while Wayne hung out with his friend Lucas. Samuel was sick once on the way to the sales, but fine the rest of the time we walked around. We didn't get much, but I got a new carseat for Faith. The one I had for her was just a shell, and I hated it. It was so cheaply made and older- the "cushion" part was constantly coming off the plastic part etc... I got a really nice one, similar to Samuel's for 7 dollars! I cleaned it up, and it looks good as new! I also got a few books, and Bob picked up a boy's bike he and Wayne are going to fix up a bit and re-sell. I also got a cool jester hat for Samuel (I'll take pictures of it and him later, when he is feeling himself again)
Sunday morning, Bob took Samuel downstairs so that I could get a little more rest. I had a splitting headache all day and evening so a little extra rest-time really was nice! Bob made french toast for breakfast, and then the family gave me more Mother's Day gifts. Wayne gave me a small plant he had grown for me at school. It is some sort of flower, but I'm not totally sure what it is, so it is going to be planted in my flowerbed, and we'll have to wait and see what blooms! Samantha and Wayne got me a WillowTree sculpture of a mother holding her toddler boy with their heads together. They bought it all by themselves- it was very special!!!! Daddy took Samuel out and he picked out a diamond accent bracelet with a ruby and diamond accent heart dangling from it. It actually choked me up and brought on a few tears, because unbeknownst to Samuel, Grace's birthstone was ruby, so it was almost like I received a Mother's Day gift from Samuel and Grace! Bob also got me a pillar candle with a pretty filigree and turquoise base. Even after all that, Bob made supper! I was spoiled way beyond what I deserve, and have such a wonderful husband...Bob YOU are the BEST,and I LOVE YOU!!! Samantha, Wayne, and Samuel, you made my Mother's Day so special and you are all my blessings- I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!
I hope all of you had a wonderful Mother's Day too!!!

Poor Samuel...I hope he is feeling much better now! I love your bracelet...You have some very thoughtful family members there...especially Wayne and Samantha getting you your figurine...they must have wanted to please you so much, and must feel so proud of themselves for doing it..:)
Howdy, my name is shirley, I have 5 kids, i've been looking for blogs with moms with kids because i've been thinking of starting my own blog. what do you think? so you have three or four kids. are you thinking of having any more? well, i'll be back later. oh, and happy mum's day. hi-di-hoe. shirley.
Poor little man! He was so sweet to be waving to me throughout church-he didn't seem very sick. He was a trooper! Glad to hear he is better!
What great finds at the yard sales!! What wonderful Mother's Day gifts! I absolutely love those Willow Tree figurines. They are so sweet.
Samuel really is amazing sometimes. I am not exaggerating, he will get done being sick and start smiling again! He is definately back to his normal shenanigans again, and his eating is getting there. I was proud of Samantha and Wayne for going out on there own, and spending their own money on a gift for me, especially since willowtree sculptures are not cheap! It was very special!
Hi Shirley- a blog is a great way to keep in touch with friends and family who are long distance, and to make new friends as well! I also use my blog sort of as a diary, writing down the happenings of the week for others to see what we have been doing, but also for myself as well. If you decide to start a blog, I'll come and visit :) I have 3 living children, and 1 daughter in heaven. As for more, I'm content with what I have, but my husband and I are basically leaving it in God's hands. If I get pregnant again, it will be a blessing, but if not, that's ok too! :) Good luck on the blog thing!
Hey Elizabeth! Sounds like Bob spoiled you again-and is teaching the kids to do so too! I am so glad you had a happy Mother's Day and that Samuel is feeling better.
I hate it HATE it when babies throw up because you feel so helpless-and just like it shouldn't be happening to such a wee one. I am glad THAT is over-and hopefully, for a LOOOOONG time to come!
Poor Samuel. I'm glad to hear that hopefully he's over whatever he had. It sounds like your Mother's Day was so special, and what sweet gifts your children gave you, I'm sure you'll treasure them for quite some time. God bless!
