Jacob's ill

So this morning I awoke to a child throwing up and lying at the foot of my bed. I checked his temp and it was under 99.9 so he still went to DoDo's. When I picked him up he wasn't feeling any better. We had scheduled him an appointment for tomorrow, but we put him to bed at 5pm...and woke him up at 7pm to see if he wanted to try something to eat. He puked again! and he had 103.8 temp. So we called Mammy, she rushed over to sit with the younger two and Adam & I took Jacob to the ER. Less than an hour later (oh yes, St. Vincents, NLR is my secret and all the staff is so nice)...we find out he has the onset of tonsillitis and already has strep. I wanted high fives, b/c I told Jacob that's what he had and hoped that he wouldn't have to have his tonsils removed. I asked Jacob if he would say, "mom you're awesome".

I've had one of those re-affirming kind of days at work where everything seemed to work flawless in my favor.

He wouldn't say it, he did say this, "mom your kinda awesome, sometimes, like when you are crazy and do Randy Orton moves on me."

YES I roughhouse with my boys. Shocker...

That's all the praise I could get, it's like pulling teeth. I'm not awesome to him.

We have hit the "mom's definitely not cool stage" it kinda sucks for me! All I do is cook, clean, Dr. kids, take them to practices /lessons, do homework, and get to play (when other kids aren't around)...Oh well all is good and he will be 100% in less than 24 hours. At least I know he still loves me doing wrestling moves...I asked him if he liked the John Sena Move and he said, "not really". Where did the time go? He used to crawl in my lap and now he can't fit in my lap at 68 lbs. WOW- Boys grow quick.
