Perspective.
It's Sunday morning, and it feels really early because I've been up all night.
You see, I had about a thousand deadlines and to-dos to address yesterday...and these days, the only time I can really get anything checked off my list is after the Hurricane has fallen asleep. However, last night, he never really did. Because he's been throwing up almost every hour since bedtime. And I think most of us know that doesn't really make for great snoozing. So after I made a very early call to our saintly pediatrician and a prescription pickup, the Hurricane is finally asleep.
But now I'm wired.
Because I spent a night snuggling with my favorite kid. The one who usually hates to snuggle. And even though I'm completely exhausted, and my list is even longer, I'm so incredibly grateful.
Especially when I think about this tragedy. I don't know this family, but my heart was broken after reading what was posted at sk*rt eariler in the evening, from Karen Rani's post...where I found out how we could help.
I happened upon it right before the Hurricane woke up for the first time.
And I've never been more thankful to stay up all night with my son.
