Last night I was feeling like I was going to be super sick just before bed. Sat by the toilet for a while and slept with a bowl by the side of my bed. I said a prayer that it wouldn't end up being anything serious. Everyone knows that moms can't get sick. Who takes care of them??
This morning, I woke up right at 7 and felt like a million dollars. I felt AWESOME. This never happens. I am NOT a morning person, and if something wakes me up before 8, I'm a grouch for half the day (which happens most of the time). So, this was out of the ordinary, and I liked it. I spent the next hour and a half reading "The Help" in bed waiting for the kiddos to wake up. I knew for a fact that this was an answer to prayers.
After they woke up and I had them eating breakfast, I went up to the computer to take a look at the facebook news feed. Kinda sad that when I should be checking out the REAL paper, I do this instead, but that's another story. I see a friend is super sick. Right away, I think of the night before when I was praying and praying that I wasn't really getting sick, and I thought to myself. "Okay, my prayers were answered, now she needs a prayer answered."
I kidnapped this friends kids and we had a BLAST today playing together. I got to have 5 kids (a 5 year old, a set of 3 year old twins, and a set of 1 year old twins) for the day, and I LOVED it. I would much rather be doing that than being sick and miserable like I thought was going to happen.
So, Jodie, when you get around to reading this, I hope you know that the only reason my prayer was answered was so that I could help you out. I am confidant of that. And I'm SO glad it was me that was healthy. :) So, you don't owe me nothin' sista. (I've been reading "The Help", remember...)
