"Hard is not bad. It's just hard."

Yup, you guessed it.  Sick at home again.  It must be spring or something.  We all have colds, Evelyn especially bad... probably because of her tooth that she's trying to cut.  And Ada had an allergic reaction to something last night that we don't know.  Usually if she has one we give her 1/2 tsp of Benadryll and she's fine... this time... every four hours it comes back and we have to give her another dose.  I don't think I have any of the 24 hour Zyrtec for kids left... hmmmm.  Lovely. 

Sammy's been doing really well with potty training considering I didn't have to do a lot of training... just bribing.  But today he pooped in his pants while he was in the basement... the bad news? It was the little rabbit like poops and they kept falling out of his pants all the way upstairs... so we had a little poop trail up three flights of stairs and all over that bathroom because he decided to take his pants off in the bathroom and then picked it up to bring it to show me... which dumped the rest of the poop on the floor in the bathroom.  I got him cleaned up, scrubbed the bathroom, Jer picked up poop and carpet cleaned... Evelyn decided to wake up and was screaming in her bed because no one was available to come get her. And... Ada decided to play in my bathroom... peed in the potty and then started playing with everything before she washed her hands.  Yeah... more to clean.  So excited.  And my head is pounding because it's stuffy, and my throat hurts.  And all I can think is of the podcast that Jer and I were trying to listen to last night... Sherri Dew interviewing Jeffery R. Holland and his wife... and Sherri Dew said, "Hard is not bad.  It's just hard."  Luckily, my life is not hard.  Just some days.  Needless to say, I haven't done my extra reading because we missed our classes at church again.  Maybe that will just be my spiritual thought for the day. 

"Hard is not bad.  It's just hard."
