Sick and tired of the sick and tired!!!

I often wonder when "this" is going to end, "this" being the day-to-day hang-ups that seem to hinder life from moving smoothly. Lately "this" has not been tantrums, power struggles, potty training, crying or fussing, no rather "this" has been sick, tired children who then refuse to be anywhere but on their parents, who in turn, have become sick and tired! For a week we have pealed small bodies for each of us, with hopes of resting comfortably in a chair or maybe, just maybe a short nap on the couch but alas they seem to have some sort of radar and the other wakes in need of your body as a human cushion, as well a large rag to wipe their noses on, how lovely! The nights were no better children venturing in and out of the room, often not even wanting to sleep but roll on you or push you to the edge of the queen size mattress which shrank significantly with 4 people in it. Yet Sunday, I suppose God doesn't take that day off as he answered our prayers, they appeared better and seemingly able to sleep alone and so they did. And "this" concludes "this" week, thankfully!!!
