Today I choose JOY

Last 24hrs we’ve had little ones unwell, bed linen changed multiple times, as well as jarmies, a few “rinse off’s” in the shower. My husband woke to the sound of projectile vomit all over me as opposed to the sound of his alarm waking him it’s been a very “messy” 12 hours but amidst it all I choose JOY ….

Fast forward a couple hours, food has been kept down by all, 4 loads of washing are hung trying to dry (my washing machine has never done so many loads in one day!) and prayerfully all on the mend.

This is life with kids, sick kids and 2 little ones under the age 3.5yrs. It’s hard, but worth it. Definitely the hardest job in the world although some people think there are harder jobs (rolling eyes)

But today I choose JOY, joy in the little things, I can be home to look after them, hug, hold and be there for them. Roof over our heads, food in the cupboards, clean clothes, sun is shining and incredible friends and family that support us when it gets a bit much. And who drop VERY appreciated goodies to my door when housebound!!

Now off to watch Despicable Me with Mr 3.5 before Baby G wakes up and he wants my attention too … the filter in the laundry machine can wait to empty out of chunks later #motherhood

Have a great week xx
